CANCER BIOLOGY TRAINING GRANT

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训补助金的目标仍然是在癌症生物学研究学科的博士前和博士后学生的培训，使他们能够参与寻找与人类癌症相关的问题的解决方案。这种培训的方法包括教学指导、研讨会和实验室研究。培训计划是跨学科的，这一点可以从四所不同学院的十二个不同部门的36名教师的参与中得到证明。博士前的受训人员都将在癌症生物学研究生跨学科计划。癌症生物学研究生课程的学生必须参加癌症病因，流行病学和预防和治疗方面的特定课程。对博士前学生的培训还涉及其他课程要求，包括癌症生物学研讨会系列，科学，社会和伦理课程和临床癌症生物学经验课程。这六个博士前职位将授予已经确定导师并开始论文研究的癌症生物学学生。他们将“获得两年的培训补助金。培训补助金还为四名博士后研究员提供津贴支助。这些职位为期两年，由受训人员甄选小组委员会每年从申请者中选出6名博士前受训人员。博士后学员必须参加癌症生物学研讨会系列，鼓励参加临床癌症生物学经验课程，并确定一个指导委员会。研究培训发生在由医学，药学，农业和生命科学学院或科学学院的个别教师控制的实验室中。这些实验室包括由各个部门以及亚利桑那州癌症中心和西南毒理学中心提供的公共和核心设施。培训计划的一个独特之处仍然是强调实验室和临床研究相结合的研究培训机会。癌症生物学T32培训计划的目的是培养下一代癌症研究人员，他们将在世纪成功预防和治疗人类癌症。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this training grant continues to be the training of pre and post-doctoral students in the discipline of cancer biology research so that they can participate in finding solutions to the problems associated with human cancer. The approach to this training involves didactic instruction, seminars and laboratory-based research. The training program is interdisciplinary as evidenced by the participation of 36 faculty in twelve different Departments in four different Colleges. The predoctoral trainees will all be in the Cancer Biology Graduate Interdisciplinary Program. Students in the Cancer Biology Graduate Program are required to take specific courses in cancer causation, epidemiology and prevention and treatment. Training for predoctoral students also involves other course requirements including the Cancer Biology Seminar Series, a Science, Society and Ethics course and a Clinical Cancer Biology Experience course. The six predoctoral positions will be awarded to Cancer Biology students who have identified a mentor and have started their dissertation research. They will "be supported by the Training Grant for two years. The training grant also provides stipend support for four postdoctoral fellows. These positions are awarded for two years and are selected by the Trainee Selection Subcommittee as are the six predoctoral trainees from a pool of applicants once a year. The postdoctoral trainees are required to participate in the Cancer Biology Seminar Series, encouraged to take the Clinical Cancer Biology Experience course and to identify a mentoring committee. The research training occurs in laboratories controlled by individual faculty who are in the Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy Agriculture and Life Sciences or Faculty of Science. These laboratories include common and core facilities provided by individual Departments as well as the Arizona Cancer Center and the Southwest Center for Toxicology. A unique feature of the training program continues to be research training opportunities that emphasize combined laboratory and clinic-based research. The intent of the Cancer Biology T32 Training Program is to train the next generation of cancer researchers who will be successful in preventing and curing human cancers in the 21st century.
