ABSTRACT Continued support is requested for a multidisciplinary Dartmouth Training Program in Quantitative Cancer Research (TQCR). The TQCR Program seeks to provide cross-training in quantitative, computational, and biomedical sciences to prepare students for the emergent cancer research landscape that is increasingly characterized by complex problems, big data, and multidisciplinary teams. At Dartmouth, the TQCR Program will enlist graduate student trainees from different academic backgrounds, including computer science, mathematics, biology, chemistry, and engineering who are committed to cancer-centered research activities with a strong quantitative component. These graduate student candidates for TQCR support will be recruited broadly from cancer-focused research laboratories across four graduate programs at Dartmouth: The Geisel School of Medicine’s Molecular & Cellular Biology and Quantitative Biomedical Sciences PhD Programs, The Thayer School of Engineering’s PhD program, and The School of Arts and Sciences Computer Science PhD Program. Faculty mentors include quantitative scientists with significant extramural funding and a strong track records of graduate training experience and biomedical research. Research areas of the faculty include quantitative methodology and scientific applications in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computer science, computational biology, genomics, and epidemiology. Selected TQCR students will engage in a cancer-specific, quantitative curriculum that includes courses in computer science, bioinformatics, biostatistics, epidemiology, cancer biology and integrative biomedical sciences, exposing them to both interdisciplinary research and quantitative methodology development over the course of a 2-year fellowship period. This reflects our institution’s long history of exceptionally strong cancer research and clinical programs, largely based on the success of our comprehensive, NCI-designated Norris Cotton Cancer Center. It is our vision that the next generation of quantitative researchers requires comprehensive interdisciplinary training to contribute meaningfully to future progress in understanding, preventing, and treating cancer.

抽象的 请求继续支持定量癌的多学科达特茅斯培训计划 研究（TQCR）。 TQCR计划旨在提供定量，计算和 生物医学科学为学生准备越来越多的新兴癌症研究局势 以复杂的问题，大数据和多学科团队为特征。在达特茅斯，TQCR计划 将吸引来自不同学术背景的研究生学员，包括计算机科学， 数学，生物学，化学和工程学，他们致力于以癌症为中心的研究活动 强大的定量组件。这些研究生候选人的TQCR支持将被广泛招募 来自达特茅斯四个研究生课程的以癌症为中心的研究实验室：盖塞尔学校 医学的分子和细胞生物学以及定量生物医学科学博士学位，Thayer 工程学院的博士学位课程以及艺术与科学学院计算机科学博士学位课程。 教师导师包括具有大量校外资金的定量科学家 研究生培训经验和生物医学研究。教师的研究领域包括定量 生物信息学，生物统计学，计算机科学，计算生物学中的方法和科学应用， 基因组学和流行病学。选定的TQCR学生将从事特定于癌症的定量课程 其中包括计算机科学，生物信息学，生物统计学，流行病学，癌症生物学和 综合生物医学科学，将它们暴露于跨学科研究和定量方法论 在2年的奖学金期间的发展。这反映了我们机构的悠久历史 非常强大的癌症研究和临床计划，主要基于我们全面的成功， NCI指定的诺里斯棉花癌中心。我们的愿景是下一代定量研究人员 需要全面的跨学科培训，以有意义地为未来的理解进展做出贡献， 预防和治疗癌症。
