CAROLINA CANCER NANOTECHNOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAM (C-CNTP)

 描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在建立卡罗莱纳癌症纳米技术培训计划（C-CNTP）。该计划的目标是通过为高度选择的博士后研究员队列提供培训和研究经验，为癌症纳米技术劳动力的增长做出重大贡献。我们已经组建了一个由来自北卡罗来纳州查佩尔山大学11个部门和3所学校的22名优秀项目教师组成的团队，他们在物理和材料科学，生物医学工程，药物输送，计算建模以及基础生物医学研究和临床科学方面具有特定的专业知识，所有这些人都表现出了浓厚的兴趣，能力和在纳米科学与癌症之间的界面合作。C-CNTP的目标是：1）招募一批来自不同背景的优秀博士后研究员，并为他们提供优秀的博士后经验，包括重点教学培训和与互补领域的教师导师共同指导的研究经验;（二）为每位学员提供强化综合学习加速模块培训，结合翻转教室，然后是研讨会，教学课程，以弥补他们的背景差异，加深对癌症纳米技术关键领域的知识和理解;和3）通过为学员提供机会，促进他们向独立过渡，a）进行原创癌症纳米技术研究项目; B）申请C-CNTP内的个人癌症纳米技术试点赠款，以及c）获得出版手稿所需的书面和口头沟通技能，报告结果，并写成功的个人校外支持申请集中在癌症纳米技术的问题。在美国国立卫生研究院Ruth L. Kirschstein国家研究服务奖我们的机构将建立一个世界一流的博士后培训计划，将利用现有的优势，在癌症纳米技术研究，巩固不同的研究和教育资源在几个学术单位，并成为一个重要的贡献者，以解决国家的研究需要在癌症纳米技术。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks to establish the Carolina Cancer Nanotechnology Training Program (C- CNTP). The goal of the program is to make a major contribution to the growth of the cancer nanotechnology workforce by providing training and research experiences to a highly select cohort of postdoctoral fellows. We have assembled a team of 22 outstanding Program faculty from 11 departments and 3 schools at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with specific expertise in physical and material sciences, biomedical engineering, drug delivery, computational modeling as well as basic biomedical research and clinical science, all of whom have demonstrated strong interests, capabilities and collaborations at the interface between nanoscience and cancer. The objectives of the C-CNTP are to: 1) recruit an elite group of talented postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds with PhD or MD and provide them with outstanding postdoctoral experience including focused didactic training and co-mentored research experience with faculty mentors from complementary fields; 2) provide each trainee with Intensive Integrated Learning Accelerating Module training in conjunction with flipped classrooms followed by workshops and didactic courses to remediate differences in their backgrounds and to deepen the knowledge and understanding in the key areas of cancer nanotechnology; and 3) facilitate transition of trainees to independence by providing them with opportunities to a) conduct original cancer nanotechnology research projects; b) apply for the individual cancer nanotechnology Pilot Grants within C-CNTP, and c) acquire written and oral communications skills needed to publish manuscripts, report results, and write successful individual extramural support applications focused on problems of cancer nanotechnology. With the support of the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award our institution will establish a world-class postdoctoral training program that will capitalie on the existing strengths in cancer nanotechnology research, consolidate diverse research and education resources across several academic units, and become a significant contributor to addressing the Nation's research needs in cancer nanotechnology.
