DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current rapid pace of scientific discovery in cancer research, particularly at the cellular, genomic, and molecular levels, offers unprecedented opportunities for rapid clinical application of basic scientific findings. This progress will be optimized by providing rigorous basic and clinical research training to a select group of surgical oncologists who are already directed towards academic leadership. The Specific Aim of this program is to provide formal training in scientific thought and technique to this highly select group of individuals. A total of six training slots are competitively awarded to trainees pursuing highly sought-after subspecialty fellowship training Surgical Oncology, as well as General Surgery residents committed to careers in cancer research. The selection process will identify and match the most qualified applicant, without regard to whether they are an internal or an external candidate. Trainees will elect to enter either the Laboratory Research Track or the Clinical Research Track. Each fellow will be guided to choose a senior preceptor/mentor from our list of participating faculty, all of whom have demonstrated an outstanding record of achievement in either laboratory or clinical cancer research, as well as an established record of successful trainee mentorship. The training period is uninterrupted by clinical duties, and includes formal training in research ethics as well as additional mandatory course work tailored to individual interests and capabilities. All trainees are assigned an Individual Fellowship Committee charged with critiquing the trainee's research, monitoring long-term progress towards an independent investigative career, and aiding in the selection of appropriate course work. For Clinical Research Track trainees, the research training environment includes the Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation, in which either Masters or PhD programs may be pursued. The program has achieved outstanding success in the recruitment of underrepresented minorities, owing to outstanding role models and broad representation of women and minorities among our clinical trainees, as well as additional strategies outlined in this proposal. In this manner, the program is designed to generate a highly selected group of academic Surgical Oncologists who will develop original and significant research programs and provide strong leadership within the cancer research community.

描述（由申请人提供）：当前癌症研究中科学发现的快速发展，特别是在细胞、基因组和分子水平上，为基础科学发现的快速临床应用提供了前所未有的机会。这一进展将通过向一组选定的已成为学术领导者的外科肿瘤学家提供严格的基础和临床研究培训来优化。该计划的具体目标是为这一经过精心挑选的群体提供科学思想和技术方面的正式培训。共有六个培训名额竞争性授予 接受备受追捧的肿瘤外科专科进修培训的学员，以及致力于癌症研究职业的普通外科住院医师。选拔过程将识别并匹配最合格的申请人，无论他们是内部候选人还是外部候选人。学员将选择进入实验室研究轨道或临床研究轨道。每位研究员将被引导从我们的参与教师名单中选择一名高级导师/导师，所有这些人都在实验室或临床癌症研究方面表现出杰出的成就记录，以及成功的实习生指导记录。培训期间不受临床职责的干扰，包括研究伦理方面的正式培训以及根据个人兴趣和能力量身定制的额外必修课程。所有受训者都被分配了一个个人奖学金委员会，负责批评受训者的研究、监测独立调查职业的长期进展，并帮助选择适当的课程作业。对于临床研究轨道学员来说，研究培训环境包括临床研究研究生培训计划，可以攻读硕士或博士课程。该计划在招募代表性不足的少数族裔方面取得了巨大成功，这要归功于我们的临床实习生中杰出的榜样和妇女和少数族裔的广泛代表性，以及本提案中概述的其他战略。通过这种方式，该计划旨在培养一批经过精心挑选的学术外科肿瘤学家，他们将开发原创且重要的研究计划，并在癌症研究界提供强有力的领导。
