MULTIDISCIPLINARY CANCER RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM

描述(由申请人提供)：我们请求支持 多学科癌症研究培训计划(MCRTP) 犹他州。我们的目标是培养博士后和博士后科学家 开创癌症研究领域的独立事业。学员将获得深厚的 对癌症的临床和机制方面的理解，高度发达 技术和分析技能，对 跨学科、协作研究，并致力于 专注于癌症的研究。培训计划有四个关键要素：1)所有 学员将在直接监督下从事癌症研究项目 所有教职员工。2)所有受训人员都将参加专门的课程 这包括两门以癌症为重点的教学课程，一门科学课程 正直，并定期安排杂志俱乐部和肿瘤委员会。3)全部 实习生将通过个人经常获得教职员工的反馈 建议机制。4)所有学员和导师将定期会面参加 亨斯迈癌症研究所系列研讨会，年度隐退，与癌症 生物学讨论小组。MCRTP的一个优势是 对癌症研究感兴趣的医生和基础科学家。这个 培训人员由45名临床和实验室人员组成。 调查人员，他们都有外部资金用于他们的研究，并且 参与一个或多个与癌症相关的项目。博士前实习生将被 高素质的高级研究生。博士后实习生将 包括寻求癌症研究重点培训的医学博士和博士。 执行委员会将任命受训人员并进行定期审查 他们的进步。MCRTP学员将被整合到一个高度 互动式、跨学科的研究人员社区致力于 了解癌症生物学并将这些信息转化为更多 有效的诊断和治疗策略。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request support for a Multidisciplinary Cancer Research Training Program (MCRTP) at the University of Utah. Our goal is to train pre- and postdoctoral scientists who will initiate independent careers in cancer research. Trainees will acquire a deep understanding of clinical and mechanistic aspects of cancer, highly developed technical and analytical skills, an appreciation for the value of interdisciplinary, collaborative research, and a commitment to pursuing cancer-focused studies. The training program has four key elements: 1) All trainees will engage in cancer research projects under the direct supervision of the faculty. 2) All trainees will participate in a specialized curriculum that includes two cancer-focused didactic courses, a course on scientific integrity, and regularly scheduled Journal Clubs and Tumor Boards. 3) All trainees will obtain frequent feedback from faculty through an individual advising mechanism. 4) All trainees and mentors will meet regularly to attend the Huntsman Cancer Institute Seminar Series, an Annual Retreat, and a Cancer Biology Discussion Group. A strength of the MCRTP is the collaboration of physicians and basic scientists who are interested in cancer research. The training faculty is comprised of 45 clinical- and laboratory-based investigators, all of whom have extramural funding for their research and are engaged in one or more cancer-related projects. Predoctoral trainees will be highly qualified, advanced graduate students. Postdoctoral trainees will include both M.D.s and Ph.D.s who seek focused training in cancer research. An Executive Committee will appoint trainees and will conduct regular reviews of their progress. MCRTP trainees will be integrated into a highly interactive, interdisciplinary community of researchers committed to understanding cancer biology and translating that information into more effective strategies for diagnosis and treatment.
