 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The number of physicians trained to perform surgical oncology research is inadequate when considering that most patients with solid tumors undergo surgery as part of their clinical management. Improving the care of these patients is in the interests of the NCI. It is critical that more surgeons are involved in patient-oriented research and that other physicians be trained in oncology research related to the surgical management of cancer patients. The three objectives of this application are 1) To increase the number of well-trained surgeons and affiliated physicians who perform patient-oriented cancer research, 2) To enhance the depth of research training of surgeons by offering advanced degrees during their research training, and 3) To increase the number of minority and female surgeons in the academic practice of surgical oncology. Trainees will be enrolled in one of three research tracks: Translational Laboratory Science (TLS), Health Services and Outcomes research (HSO), and Oncology Clinical Trials (OCT). These tracks will be structured and will include associated curriculum, and appropriate mentors. However, there will be flexibility to include training in othe research areas and in other research-related skills, which will augment the trainees' educational experiences. Surgical residents with a minimum of two years of clinical training will be admitted to the program, and other non-surgical, yet oncologically related MD/DO trainees may be admitted, but will fill no more than 25% of the trainee positions. There will be a total of six trainees at any given time. Trainees will enter a dedicated, 2-3 year training period that will include a core research project related to solid tumor oncology, plus coursework selected to match their research track, with the option for a Master's degree or PhD. Strong emphasis will be placed on learning skills required for survival in research careers combined with academic clinical practice. These will include research ethics, grant writing, research design, data analysis, budgeting, manuscript writing, and stress management. By this approach, a cohort of young, well-trained surgeons and associated physicians will be developed who will have the tools to perform high quality, ethical, translational and clinical research specifically centered o human tumor oncology.

 描述（由申请人提供）：考虑到大多数实体瘤患者将手术作为临床治疗的一部分，接受过肿瘤外科研究培训的医生数量不足。改善这些患者的护理符合 NCI 的利益。至关重要的是，更多的外科医生参与以患者为导向的研究，并且其他医生接受与癌症患者手术管理相关的肿瘤学研究培训。该应用程序的三个目标是：1) 增加进行以患者为导向的癌症研究的训练有素的外科医生和附属医生的数量，2) 通过在研究培训期间提供高级学位来加强外科医生研究培训的深度，以及 3) 增加外科肿瘤学学术实践中少数族裔和女性外科医生的数量。学员将参加三个研究方向之一：转化实验室科学 (TLS)、健康服务和结果研究 (HSO) 以及肿瘤临床试验 (OCT)。这些轨道将是结构化的，并将包括相关的课程和适当的导师。然而，将灵活地包括其他研究领域和其他研究相关技能的培训，这将增加学员的教育经验。接受过至少两年临床培训的外科住院医师将被接纳加入该计划，其他非外科但与肿瘤相关的 MD/DO 实习生也可能被接纳，但所占实习生职位的比例不超过 25%。在任何给定时间总共将有六名受训者。学员将进入为期 2-3 年的专门培训期，其中包括与实体瘤肿瘤学相关的核心研究项目，以及根据其研究方向选择的课程，并可选择攻读硕士学位或博士学位。将重点强调研究职业生存所需的学习技能与学术临床实践相结合。这些将包括研究伦理、资助写作、研究设计、数据分析、预算、手稿写作和压力管理。通过这种方法，将培养一批年轻、训练有素的外科医生和相关医生，他们将拥有进行专门针对人类肿瘤学的高质量、道德、转化和临床研究的工具。
