Academic Training in Oncology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

描述(由申请者提供)：这个T32将在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校每年培训2名肿瘤学研究员，学习“临床翻译和人口科学”。学员将通过教学、实践研究和准备学术产品获得基本能力，这些都是在研究密集型学术中心开始临床翻译研究或人口科学职业生涯所需的。学员还将准备竞争来自各种来源的研究资金，如果他们留在北卡罗来纳大学，包括Paul Calabrese K12。 领导力。该计划将由血液学/肿瘤科和北卡罗来纳大学医院癌症中心主任理查德·戈德伯格博士、副主任谢尔顿·厄普博士、莱恩伯格综合癌症中心主任谢尔顿·厄普博士和肿瘤学和公共卫生学院副教授保罗·戈德利博士指导。教师：有39名才华横溢的教师导师，代表临床、基础和人口研究。导师是根据研究计划、资金和培训经验挑选出来的。资源包括一家有800个床位的三级护理医院、一个住院综合临床研究中心、广泛的研究实验室设施，以及2009年的北卡罗来纳州癌症医院。为学员提供的优秀课程包括胸科、泌尿生殖科、皮肤科和神经肿瘤学，以及与孢子基金相结合的胃肠道和乳腺癌研究项目。莱恩伯格癌症研究项目涉及细胞生物学、免疫学、癌症发生学、分子治疗学、病毒学、遗传学、癌症预防和控制以及流行病学。实习生：实习生将从成人和儿科肿瘤学培训计划的竞争性申请者池中挑选出来。申请由一个由领导层和奖学金主任组成的指导委员会审查。计划：每个被选中的受训者都会被指派至少两名导师，每个导师代表不同的研究领域。学员将花费75%的时间参加必修K30课程和可选教学，在导师的指导下开发和实施他们的研究项目(S)，接受负责任的研究行为培训，并学习如何在演讲、海报、手稿和首次拨款申请中展示他们的研究。这两个课程的受训人员都将参加专门为该项目开发的翻译研讨会系列。这个为期多年的研讨会介绍了在30个主题中组织的肿瘤学的新发现，在北卡罗来纳大学的其他地方是找不到的。对学员、教师和整个项目的评估将由所有参与者、指导委员会以及内部和外部咨询委员会每年进行。 这项培训在北卡罗来纳大学将是独一无二的，将有助于确保我们的肿瘤学实习生为开始最终改善患者结果的研究生涯做好准备。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 will train 2 oncology fellows per year in "Clinical Translational and Population Science" at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Trainees will obtain the fundamental competencies via didactics, hands-on research, and preparation of scholarly products needed to begin careers in clinical translational research or population sciences at research-intensive academic centers. Trainees will also be prepared to compete for research funding from a variety of sources, including, if they remain at UNC, the Paul Calabrese K12. Leadership. The program will be directed by Dr. Richard Goldberg, Chief of the Division of Hematology/Oncology and UNC Hospitals Cancer Center and Associate Directors, Dr Shelton Earp, Director of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Dr Paul Godley, Associate Professor in Oncology and the School of Public Health. Faculty: There are 39 talented faculty mentors representing clinical, basic, and population research. Mentors have been selected based on research program, funding, and training experience. Resources include an 800 bed tertiary care hospital, an inpatient general clinical research center, extensive research laboratory facilities, and in 2009, the North Carolina Cancer Hospital. Outstanding programs available to trainees include thoracic, genitourinary, dermatologic, and neuro oncology as well as gastrointestinal and breast cancer research programs integrated with SPORE funding. Lineberger Cancer Research programs can be accessed that involve cell biology, immunology, carcinogenesis, molecular therapeutics, virology, genetics, cancer prevention and control and epidemiology. Trainees: Trainees will be selected from a competitive pool of applicants drawn from the adult and pediatric oncology training programs. Applications are reviewed by a steering committee comprising leadership and fellowship directors. Program: Each trainee selected is assigned at least 2 mentors with each mentor representing a different spectrum of research. Trainees will spend 75% of their time attending required K30 courses and optional didactics, developing and conducting their research project(s) under their mentors' supervision, training in Responsible Conduct of Research, and learning how to present their research in talks, posters, manuscripts, and first grant applications. Trainees in both tracks will participate in the Translational Seminar Series which has been especially developed for this program. This multi-year seminar presents the emerging discoveries in oncology organized across 30 topics and is not available elsewhere at UNC. Evaluation of the trainees, faculty and the program as a whole will be done on an annual basis by all of the participants, the steering committee and by the internal and external advisory committees. This training will be unique at UNC and will help ensure that our oncology trainees are prepared to begin research careers that will ultimately improve patient outcomes.
