PROJECT SUMMARY Over the last three decades, we have witnessed an explosion in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying human disease. However, out of this knowledge has come a relatively small number of successful novel therapies. Historically, surgical oncologists have played an essential role in the advancement of cancer-directed therapies. Additionally, health services research is increasingly important to optimizing care of surgical oncology patients. However, surgeon participation in research efforts has been seriously challenged by ever growing surgical training demands and the complexity of the current health care environment. More than ever it is critical that we make rigorous scientific training an integral part of our surgical training programs. The principal focus of the Surgical Oncology Research Training Program at the University of Alabama- Birmingham (UAB) is to strengthen academic surgical oncology research training by stimulating interested physician-scientists to pursue translational and health services research training in oncology. Only one other program of this nature exists in the Deep South and as a result, residents in the 19 general surgery residency programs in the Deep South are steered toward other funded fields of research training. The overall program goal of the Surgical Oncology Research Training Program is to provide surgical residents, who are strongly motivated toward a career in surgical oncology, with a comprehensive, mentored research experience. The specific objectives of this program are to: 1) provide training in the conduct of basic, translational and health services surgical oncology research through participation in an individual and tailored didactic and mentoring program utilizing the extensive resources of the UAB Department of Surgery, UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC), the School of Medicine’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), the Office of Postdoctoral Education (OPE), and an abundance of health services and disparities research programs and centers; 2) develop surgeon-scientists and leaders in academic surgery with an emphasis on surgical oncology; and 3) expand the pool of surgeon-scientists who will be competitive for future research career development and independent research grants. The application includes a pool of successful, experienced trainers from a variety of surgical oncology-related disciplines with research in the following focus areas: cancer etiology and progression, exposure biology, experimental therapeutics, chemoprevention, disparities in cancer outcomes and survivorship. Program leaders have significant past experience with research training programs. The program addresses the evolving field of surgical oncology research through the inclusion of training options in biostatistics and bioinformatics, genomics and disparities. Through its robust cancer research environment and commitment to training, UAB and the UAB Department of Surgery provide an optimal home for this needed program.

项目摘要 在过去的三十年中，我们目睹了对分子的理解的爆炸 人类疾病的基础机制。但是，从这些知识中，数量相对较少 成功的新颖疗法。从历史上看，手术肿瘤学家在进步中发挥了重要作用 癌症指导的疗法。此外，卫生服务研究越来越重要，以优化护理 手术肿瘤患者。但是，外科医生参与研究工作已受到严重挑战 通过越来越多的手术培训需求和当前医疗保健环境的复杂性。更多的 比以往任何时候都至关重要，我们将严格的科学培训构成外科培训计划中不可或缺的一部分。 阿拉巴马大学手术肿瘤学研究培训计划的主要重点 伯明翰（UAB）将通过刺激感兴趣的感兴趣来加强学术外科肿瘤学研究培训 物理科学家购买肿瘤学研究培训的转化和卫生服务研究培训。只有一个 这种性质的计划存在于深南部，结果是19个普通手术的居民 南方深处的居住计划被蒸到其他资​​助的研究培训领域。 外科肿瘤学研究培训计划的总体计划目标是提供手术 居民强烈动力从事外科肿瘤学职业，并拥有全面的指导 研究经验。该计划的具体目标是：1）提供基本的培训， 通过参与个人和量身定制的转化和卫生服务外科肿瘤学研究 UAB手术部的大量资源，UAB的教学和心理计划 综合癌症中心（CCC），医学院临床与转化科学中心 （CCT），博士后教育办公室（OPE）以及大量的卫生服务和分配 研究计划和中心； 2）发展外科医生科学家和学术手术领导者 强调手术肿瘤学； 3）扩大将在未来竞争的外科医生科学家的库 研究职业发展和独立研究补助金。该应用程序包括成功的池 来自各种外科肿瘤学学科的经验丰富的培训师在以下重点方面进行了研究 领域：癌症病因和进展，暴露生物学，实验疗法，化学预防， 癌症结局和生存的差异。计划负责人有丰富的过去经验 研究培训计划。该计划通过 包括生物统计学和生物信息学，基因组学和差异的培训选择。通过它的坚固 癌症研究环境和对培训的承诺，UAB和UAB外科部提供 这个必要程序的最佳家。
