Surgical Oncology Research Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：外科肿瘤学培训计划旨在吸引和培训具有外科临床背景的医生进入为期两年的基础和转化科学研究奖学金。研究员将在Lineberger综合癌症中心（LCCC）的既定癌症研究科学家的实验室中进行实验室科学实验。每位学员还将有一名外科肿瘤学临床导师指导学员的转化研究重点。为期两年的经验将包括科学道德行为，分子生物学，信号转导，生物统计学，动物模型或免疫学等领域的课程，以加强他们的个人科学基础。研究员将被要求在LCCC会议以及区域和国家会议上介绍他们的工作，以确保他们能够清楚地传达他们对实验数据的解释。受训者将在任何外科专科至少两年的培训后进行竞争性选择，并且他们已经证明有潜力在癌症患者的护理中追求学术生涯。每隔一年将选出一名或两名受训人员。在接下来的5年里，研究奖学金将与外科肿瘤学部门的新生临床外科肿瘤学奖学金相结合。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Surgical Oncology Training Program is designed to attract and train physicians with a clinical background in surgery into a two-year fellowship of basic and translational science research. Fellows will be mentored by and conduct bench-science experiments in the laboratory of established cancer research scientists of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC). Each trainee will also have a surgical oncology clinical mentor to direct the trainee's translational research focus. The two-year experience will include coursework in areas such as ethical conduct of science, molecular biology, signal transduction, biostatistics, animal models or immunology to strengthen their individual science foundation. Fellows will be required to present their work at LCCC conferences as well as at regional and national meetings to ensure their ability to clearly communicate their interpretation of experimental data. Trainees will be competitively selected after a minimum of two years of training in any of the surgical subspecialties, and who have demonstrated potential to pursue academic careers in the care of cancer patients. One or two trainees will be selected in alternate years. Over the next 5 years the research fellowship will be integrated with a nascent Clinical Surgical Oncology Fellowship in the division of surgical oncology.
