摘要 这一培训计划强调从工作台到床边的研究，包括最先进的研究 癌症研究领域。以及癌症研究和声学基础方面的培训 科学理论、学生和博士后研究员将接受许多基本领域的培训 癌症研究。学员有机会接触更多癌症临床方面的知识 已被纳入我们的培训计划。21世纪的癌症问题 仍然是国家优先事项，因此为以下人员提供了一个实质性的长期职业机会 博士后和博士后的培养。我们培训计划的目标是 不仅培养有能力进行独立癌症研究的高素质科学家，而且还 培养成功所需的智力、技术和沟通技能 今天和未来的学术或工业舞台。我们为实习生提供 了解人类癌症的基本、公共卫生和临床问题。的能力 这笔培训补助金将基础科学学院现有的优秀基础与 我们在哈罗德·西蒙斯国家癌症研究所指定的癌症生物学和治疗项目 综合性癌症中心，区别于标准化的普通研究生和博士后- 研究生教育计划。我们有35名教员培训师，代表20名 德克萨斯大学西南分校的不同部门和中心。我们已经组建了一个专门的小组 指导委员会成员，以及行政、智力和财政支持 癌症中心主任发来的。我们对提议的癌症有一个完整的计划 针对博士后和博士后学员的培训计划，详细说明了 癌症教育和培训，包括生物医学伦理、负责任的科学行为、 严谨性和重复性、生物统计学、生物信息学和数据共享。我们有一个项目 招聘和保留地域范围广泛的博士后和博士后的具体计划 博士生申请者以及代表不足的多样性受训人员。我们已经扩大了规模， 实施了以癌症教学和期刊为导向的基础课程和翻译课程。我们的 有资格获得培训补助金的博士后和博士后申请者人数几乎翻了一番 在过去5年里。

Abstract This training program emphasizes bench to bedside research encompassing state-of-the-art areas of cancer research. Along with training in the fundamentals of cancer research and sound scientific theory, students and post-doctoral fellows will be trained in many fundamental areas of cancer research. Opportunities for trainees to be exposed to more clinical aspects of Cancer have been incorporated into our training program. The problem of cancer in the 21st century remains a national priority, and as such, offers a substantive long-term career opportunity for the training of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students. The goals of our training program are to not only train top-quality scientists capable of conducting independent cancer research, but also to foster the intellectual, technical, and communication skills required to succeed in the academic or industrial arenas of today and in the future. We provide our trainees an understanding of the basic, public health, and clinical problems of human cancer. The ability of this training grant to bridge an existing outstanding foundation of Faculty in Basic Science with our Cancer Biology and Therapy Programs in the Harold Simmons NCI Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, distinguishes it from a standardized general graduate and post- graduate educational program. We have 35 committed Faculty Trainers representing 20 different Departments and Centers at UT Southwestern. We have assembled a dedicated group of Steering Committee members, along with administrative intellectual and financial support from the Director of the Cancer Center. We have an integrated plan for the proposed Cancer Training Program for both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees that details all key steps in cancer education and training, including biomedical ethics, the responsible conduct of science, rigor and reproducibility, biostatistics, bioinformatics, and data sharing. We have a program specific plan for recruiting and retaining a geographically broad range of pre-doctoral and post- doctoral applicants as well as underrepresented diversity trainees. We have expanded and implemented our cancer didactic and journal oriented courses, both basic and translational. Our training grant eligible pre-doctoral and post-doctoral applicant pool has almost doubled during the last 5 years.
