GRADUATE TRAINING IN CANCER RESEARCH

Dana-Farber癌症研究所(DFCI)被指定为综合 1973年由美国国家癌症研究所建立的癌症中心。两年后， 1975年，该研究所首次被授予国家机构奖 国家癌症研究所研究服务奖(T32CAO9172)。 自那时以来，已有229名个人得到了这笔赠款的资助， 这一筹资机制已成为能力的重要组成部分 以培养临床研究人员。这样做的目的是 提案是请求在下一个五年内继续提供支持 在综合性癌症中心提供研究培训 希望从事学术肿瘤学工作的研究生医生。这个 此应用程序的特定目的是提供以下体验 对高度精选的临床医生进行临床或实验室调查 已完成内科或儿科肿瘤学培训。这个 DFCI提供范围广泛的实验室 一个异常肥沃的环境，用于交流思想和 在设计研究计划方面的合作。培训将继续进行 通过定期安排的讲座、临床和 研究会议和“实验室工作台活动”。实习生将 还需要参加《哈佛计划》中的实践 作为指导科学研究的一种手段 医德和科学诚信。研究中心的研究设施 DPCI继续成熟，另一个项目的建设进展顺利 理查德·A·史密斯和苏珊·P·史密斯研究所实验室大楼 实验室，计划于1998年初投入使用，将提供 六层楼，用于已完工的研究实验室空间和动物 研究实验室、研究管理和支持职能。 25个独立的部门和/或实验室，包括医学部和 儿科肿瘤学、癌症流行病学与控制、生物统计学、 血液肿瘤，肿瘤免疫学，癌症药理学，细胞 生长与调控、肿瘤疾病机制与人类癌症 遗传学提供了广泛的研究机会。实习生 由这项计划支持的人能够从所有这些选项中进行选择 关于他们希望在哪个领域进行研究的实验室。 该研究所的所有成员都在哈佛大学担任教职。 并参与实验室的课堂演示和 临床研究培训。除了提供培训支持外， 这笔机构赠款，DFCI调查人员还参与了Pre和 哈佛大学的博士后培训计划 系教员任命或在邻近的哈佛附属公司 医院。这项计划的目标是鼓励 学术肿瘤学家。预计在他们的会议结束时 培训，那些受该计划支持的个人将拥有 设计、发起和完成个人研究的能力 项目，独立或在最少监督下进行，并在此之后不久 将能够确立自己作为独立研究的地位 调查人员。与过去一样，预计一些人将留下来 在DFCI成功完成他们的培训并将 最终成为研究所研究人员的永久成员。

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) was designated as a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute in 1973. Two years later, in 1975, the Institute was initially awarded an Institutional National Research Service Award (T32 CAO9172) by the National Cancer Institute. Since that time, 229 individuals have been supported by this grant and this funding mechanism has become an essential component in the ability of the Institute to develop clinical investigators. The purpose of this proposal is to request continued support for another five years to provide research training in a comprehensive cancer center for postgraduate physicians who desire a career in academic oncology. The specific purpose of this application is to offer an experience in clinical or laboratory investigation to highly selected clinicians who have completed their training in medical or pediatric oncology. The availability of a wide spectrum of laboratories within the DFCI offers an unusually fertile environment for the exchange of ideas and for collaboration in the design of research programs. Training will continue to be provided through regularly scheduled lectures, clinical and research conferences, and "bench laboratory activities". Trainees will also be required to participate in the "Harvard Program in the Practice of Scientific Investigation." as a means of providing instruction in medical ethics and scientific integrity. The research facilities of the DPCI continue to mature with construction well underway for an additional laboratory building, the Richard A. and Susan P. Smith Research laboratories, scheduled for occupancy early in 1998, which will provide six floors for finished research laboratory space as well as animal research laboratories, research administration, and support functions. Twenty-five separate divisions and/or laboratories including Medical and Pediatric Oncology, Cancer Epidemiology and Control, Biostatistics, Hematologic Malignancies, Tumor Immunology, Cancer Pharmacology, Cell Growth and Regulation, Neoplastic Disease Mechanisms, and Human Cancer Genetics offer a wide panoply of investigative opportunities. Trainees supported by this proposal are able to select from among all of these laboratories as to the area in which they wish to conduct their research. All members of the Institute staff hold faculty appointments at Harvard University and participate in classroom presentations in laboratory and clinical research training. In addition to training support provided by this institutional grant, DFCI investigators also participate in pre and postdoctoral training programs at Harvard University through their departmental faculty appointments or at neighboring Harvard-affiliated hospitals. The goal of this program is to encourage the development of academic oncologists. It is expected that at the conclusion of their training, those individuals supported by this program will have the capability for designing, initiating, and completing individual research projects, independently or with minimal supervision, and soon thereafter will be able to establish themselves as independent research investigators. As in the past, it is anticipated that some will remain at the DFCI upon successfully completing their training and will eventually become permanent members of the Institute's research staff.
