Training in Translational Research of Lung, Head and Neck Cancer

摘要 我们的肺、头和颈部(LHN)癌症培训计划(LHNTP)自2013年开始资助，是一个多学科的项目 翻译计划的使命是培养下一代研究人员和内科科学家 LHN癌症。虽然我们的T32计划还不到五年，而且我们的大多数学员还在 培训中，LHNTP的增值对我们学员的发展已经变得显而易见。这是一次竞争性更新 将继续我们的使命，并在研究进展的基础上进一步改进和加强我们的计划 以及过去几年的临床实践。我们的变化包括培训教师、课程和活动 更好地融合专业知识、创新研究和临床进步。这些变化将加速 科学发现，进一步丰富训练环境，促进职业发展。基于 NCI的博士后/博士后比例要求，我们将继续任命3名新的博士后研究员和1名博士后 每个奖项年度新的博士前学生。培训人员从UCCC成员和研究生中挑选 教师基于他们的科学/临床专业知识、导师的跟踪记录和积极的资助来实现 翻译LHN癌症研究的培训。我们的教职员工来自基础科学和临床。 各部门。除了实验室培训，我们还为所有人设计了必修的教学课程 为非医学博士学员提供的培训课程和临床课程，以提高学员的科学背景和 我们节目的翻译方面。我们的具体目标是计划实习生将获得 在基础和转化性LHN癌症研究中从事富有成效的学术生涯的专业技能。我们 将大力从外部和内部实习生人才库中挑选学员，根据他们的学业成绩和 致力于LHN癌症研究。

SUMMARY Our Lung, Head and Neck (LHN) Cancer Training Program (LHNTP), funded since 2013, is a multi-disciplinary translational program with a mission to train the next generation of researchers and physician scientists in LHN cancers. Although our T32 program is less than five years old and the majority of our trainees are still in training, the LHNTP value-added to our trainee's development has become obvious. This competitive renewal will continue our mission and further improve and strengthen our program based on the advances in research and clinical practice in the past few years. Our changes include training faculty, curriculum and activities that better incorporate expertise, innovative research and clinical advances. These changes will accelerate scientific discoveries, further enrich training environment and enhance career development. Based on the NCI's postdoctoral/predoctoral ratio requirement, we will continue to appoint 3 new postdoctoral fellows and 1 new predoctoral student per award year. Training faculty are selected from members of UCCC and graduate faculty based on their scientific/clinical expertise, track records of mentorship and active funding to achieve training of translational LHN cancer research. Our faculty members are from both basic science and clinical departments. In addition to laboratory training, we have designed mandatory didactic coursework for all trainees and clinical coursework for non-MD trainees to enhance the trainee's scientific background and the translational aspect of our program. Our specific goal is that program trainees will acquire the professional skills for productive academic careers in basic and translational LHN cancer research. We will vigorously select trainees from external and internal trainee pools based on their academic records and commitment to LHN cancer research.
