Education/Training and Outreach Activities

项目总结(见说明)： 达特茅斯CCNE(DCCNE)教育/培训计划通过关注研究生经验的发展来补充研究工作，将纳米技术和工程与癌症生物学和免疫学联系起来。这个跨学科的项目使用一个跨部门的组织来教授材料、成像系统、治疗技术、免疫学和毒理学的基础科学基础，特别是它们在癌症纳米医学中的应用。该计划在出版物、出席会议和参加研讨会方面设定了可量化、可实现的目标，以帮助为学生、博士后和知名研究人员的职业发展设定衡量标准。关键的重点是发展由多学科团队组成的战略伙伴关系，这些团队拥有互补的专业知识，然后将参与者的学习目标与他们的个人培训计划相匹配。这是可能的，因为达特茅斯大学的癌症纳米技术研究是在研究生项目中进行的，这些项目已经从院系中分离出来，这在塞耶工程学院和达特茅斯医学院很明显。建议设置一个具体的课程；学生从六个可能的学习领域中选择三个，其中至少一个必须分别来自工程学和医学。DCCNE将在教育/培训时间表上指定的时间点评估计划的质量和效率，并将使用结果信息为正在进行的计划发展提供信息。 计划通过每月举办一系列研讨会，让来自全国各地的演讲者，特别是来自其他CCNE和纳米技术研究中心的演讲者参加，计划在参与的CCNE之间交流受训人员的机制。 外联工作将包括在更广泛的科学界传播DCCNE研究的研讨会和专题讨论会，组织和参加国家和区域会议，以及在达特茅斯举办的以癌症纳米技术为重点的每周研讨会。DCCNE将在癌症中心举行为期半天的年度论坛，邀请DCCNE研究人员以及DCCNE在纳米技术的临床翻译研究方面进行演讲。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Dartmouth CCNE (DCCNE) Education/Training Program complements the research effort by focusing on the development of a graduate experience, which links together nanotechnology and engineering with cancer biology and immunology. This cross-disciplinary Program uses a cross-departmental organizafion to teach the fundamental scientific bases of materials, imaging systems, therapy technologies, immunology and toxicology, and specifically, their applicafion to cancer nanomedicine. The Program sets quanfifiable, achievable goals in terms of publications, conference attendance and seminars attended, to help set metrics for career development among students, post-docs, and established investigators. The key emphasis is to develop strategic partnerships formed from multidisciplinary teams with complementary expertise sets and then to match the learning goals of the participants to their individual training programs. This is possible because cancer nanotechnology research at Dartmouth occurs in graduate programs that are already delocalized from departments, evident at Thayer School of Engineering and at Dartmouth Medical School. A specific curriculum is proposed; students choose three of six possible areas of study, of which at least one must be each from engineering and medicine. Attention is given to research mentoring and career development The DCCNE will evaluate Program quality and efficiency at defined points on the education/training timeline, and will use the resulting outcomes information to inform ongoing programmatic development. Mechanisms for exchange of trainees among participafing CCNEs is planned through a monthly seminar series featuring speakers from across the country, particulariy from other CCNEs and nanotechnology research hubs. Outreach efforts will include seminars and symposia to disseminate DCCNE research in the wider scientific community, organizafion of and participation in national and regional conferences, and weekly seminars at Dartmouth focused on cancer nanotechnology. The DCCNE will hold an annual half-day forum at the Cancer Center to engage invited presentations in clinical translational research in nanotechnology as well as DCCNE investigators.
