CANCER BIOLOGY TRAINING GRANT

描述(由申请人提供)：这笔培训补助金的目标仍然是培训癌症生物学研究学科的博士后和博士后学生，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授课、研讨会和基于实验室的研究。培训方案是跨学科的，四个不同学院的12个不同系的36名教员参加了培训。博士前实习生都将在癌症生物学研究生跨学科项目中学习。癌症生物学研究生计划的学生被要求学习癌症病因、流行病学以及预防和治疗方面的特定课程。对博士前学生的培训还包括其他课程要求，包括癌症生物学系列研讨会、科学、社会和伦理课程以及临床癌症生物学体验课程。六个博士前职位将授予癌症生物学专业的学生，他们已经找到了导师，并开始了他们的论文研究。他们将得到为期两年的培训补助金的支持。培训补助金还为四名博士后研究员提供津贴支持。这些职位为期两年，由受训人员甄选小组委员会挑选，六名博士前受训人员每年从一批申请者中挑选一次。博士后实习生被要求参加癌症生物学研讨会系列，鼓励他们参加临床癌症生物学体验课程，并确定指导委员会。研究培训在由医学院、药剂学、农业和生命科学学院或理学院的个别教员控制的实验室进行。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特点仍然是研究培训机会，强调实验室和临床相结合的研究。癌症生物学T32培训计划的目的是培训下一代癌症研究人员，他们将在21世纪成功地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.
