DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Description): This is a competitive renewal of a training grant proposal for a program designed to train radiation biologists who will have knowledge of the molecular, cellular and tissue effects of radiation. Six predoctoral and 6 postdoctoral trainees are requested. Training will be offered in the radiation biology laboratories of the Division of Oncology Research, Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. The program will involve formal coursework, a lecture series and a journal club designed for the training needs of the applicants, research seminars and conferences, and laboratory research projects to be supervised by established investigators. The research projects will focus on various aspects of the currently funded research areas in the participating laboratories; for research projects, trainees will utilize techniques developed in modern biology to perform mechanistically-oriented studies in radiation biology/oncology. The research areas in which the 10 training directors and supervisors are involved are broadly based in cancer research, including molecular mechanisms in carcinogenesis and mutagenesis, molecular and cellular radiation biology, radiation chemistry and biochemistry, DNA repair processes, cancer prevention and radiation oncology. It is expected that graduates of the training program will continue with their research and academic careers in radiation biology and oncology.

描述（申请人的描述）：这是一项培训拨款提案的竞争性更新，旨在培训辐射生物学家，使他们了解辐射的分子、细胞和组织效应。 需要6名博士前培训生和6名博士后培训生。 培训将在宾夕法尼亚大学医学院放射肿瘤学系肿瘤学研究部的放射生物学实验室提供。 该计划将包括正式课程、系列讲座和专为满足申请人培训需求而设计的期刊俱乐部、研究研讨会和会议以及由既定研究人员监督的实验室研究项目。研究项目将集中于参与实验室目前资助的研究领域的各个方面；对于研究项目，学员将利用现代生物学开发的技术进行放射生物学/肿瘤学的机械导向研究。 10名培训主任和主管涉及的研究领域广泛涉及癌症研究，包括致癌和诱变的分子机制、分子和细胞放射生物学、放射化学和生物化学、DNA修复过程、癌症预防和放射肿瘤学。 预计该培训项目的毕业生将继续他们在放射生物学和肿瘤学领域的研究和学术生涯。
