DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the T32 research training program in urologic oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is to train qualified clinician-scientists to be independent investigators in translational research and to progress to full-time academic positions. Dedicated research training in urologic oncology is essential to the mission of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to eliminate suffering and death from cancer: genitourinary cancers comprise nearly one third of all non-skin cancers and cause 10% of all cancer deaths in the US. T32 fellows gain direct experience in biomedical research by working full-time for 2 years with established basic and translational research scientists. Fellows are also required to participate in structured, multidisciplinary conferences and to present their work at MSKCC seminars and national meetings. T32 preceptors represent the departments of Surgery, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Medicine, Radiology, and Pathology, as well as 4 of the major research programs at the Sloan-Kettering Institute: Cell Biology, Immunology, Molecular Biology, and Molecular Pharmacology and Chemistry. Areas of research include cancer genetics; signals and pathways involved in the control of cell proliferation; protein targeting; tumor immunology, immunotherapy, and clinical therapeutics, among others. Although fellows may also undertake 1 year of clinical training, they have no clinical responsibilities during their research years unless it is integral to their research project. Most T32 fellows spend 2.5 to 3.5 years completing all research and clinical training. This T32 training grant will continue to support 4 postdoctoral fellows (typically 2 new and 2 continuing trainees) per year. All T32 candidates must have an MD, must have completed training in urology at a residency program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), and must be board-eligible urologists. T32 fellows usually enter the program during PGY-6 or PGY-7. RELEVANCE: MSKCC's T32 program in urologic oncology trains qualified clinician-scientists for careers focused on eliminating suffering and death from urologic cancers, which comprise 31% of all non-skin cancers and cause 10% of all cancer deaths in the US. To date, 95% of the graduates have matriculated to faculty positions and are engaged in research aimed at understanding and overcoming these cancers.

描述(由申请人提供)：纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症中心(MSKCC)泌尿外科肿瘤学T32研究培训计划的目标是培养合格的临床医生和科学家成为翻译研究中的独立研究人员，并晋升为全职学术职位。国家癌症研究所(NCI)致力于消除癌症带来的痛苦和死亡：泌尿生殖系癌症占所有非皮肤癌的近三分之一，占美国所有癌症死亡的10%，而专门的泌尿外科肿瘤学研究培训对其使命至关重要。T32研究员通过与公认的基础研究和翻译研究科学家一起全职工作2年，获得生物医学研究的直接经验。研究员还被要求参加有组织的、多学科的会议，并在MSKCC研讨会和国家会议上介绍他们的工作。T32教授代表外科、流行病学和生物统计学、医学系、放射学系和病理学系，以及斯隆-凯特琳研究所的四个主要研究项目：细胞生物学、免疫学、分子生物学和分子药理学和化学。研究领域包括癌症遗传学；参与控制细胞增殖的信号和途径；蛋白质靶向；肿瘤免疫学、免疫疗法和临床治疗学等。虽然研究员也可以接受一年的临床培训，但他们在研究期间没有临床责任，除非这是他们研究项目的组成部分。大多数T32研究员需要2.5到3.5年的时间来完成所有的研究和临床培训。这笔T32培训补助金将继续支持每年4名博士后研究员(通常是2名新学员和2名继续受训人员)。所有T32候选人必须拥有医学博士学位，必须在研究生医学教育认证委员会(ACGME)批准的住院医师计划中完成泌尿外科培训，并且必须是符合董事会资格的泌尿科医生。T32研究员通常在PGY-6或PGY-7期间参加该计划。 相关性：MSKCC的泌尿系统肿瘤学T32项目培养合格的临床医生和科学家，从事专注于消除泌尿系癌症的痛苦和死亡的职业。泌尿系癌症占所有非皮肤癌的31%，导致美国所有癌症死亡的10%。到目前为止，95%的毕业生已经进入教职员工职位，并从事旨在了解和克服这些癌症的研究。
