DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The training of academic radiation oncologists and biologists has suffered nationwide from the paucity of formalized training programs. In this application we propose to bring together faculty associated with all three radiation oncology subspecialties (medicine, biology and physics) to establish an interdisciplinary postgraduate training program in radiation sciences. This two year program will accept two exceptional postdoctoral fellows and/or medical residents per year who are interested in an intensive research-based program. The goals of the training program are 1) To teach the trainees the theory concerning the physics governing the delivery of radiation, and the cellular biology governing its biologic effect. 2) To educate participants in the design and execution of cutting edge research in the radiation sciences. And 3) To gather together trainees from the fields of medicine, biology and physics so that they may develop a mutual appreciation for the many aspects of the study and treatment of patients with cancer. This is a particularly timely and relevant application because therapeutic radiation has become a mainstay in the treatment of many forms cancer. It is therefore imperative to develop a well trained cohort of professionals who will be responsible for the next generation of therapeutic advancements.

描述（由申请人提供）：在全国范围内，培训学术放射肿瘤学家和生物学家的培训遭受了正式培训计划的匮乏。在此应用中，我们建议将与所有三种辐射肿瘤学亚科（医学，生物学和物理学）相关的教师汇总，以建立跨学科的辐射科学研究生培训计划。这项为期两年的计划将接受每年对基于强化研究的计划感兴趣的两个特殊的博士后研究员和/或医疗居民。培训计划的目标是1）教学员关于辐射传递的物理学的理论，以及控制其生物学效应的细胞生物学。 2）教育参与者在辐射科学中的尖端研究设计和执行。 3）从医学，生物学和物理学领域收集学员，以便他们可以对研究的许多方面和癌症患者的治疗产生相互欣赏。这是一个特别及时且相关的应用，因为治疗辐射已成为治疗多种形式癌症的中流型。因此，必须建立训练有素的专业人士，这些专业人员将负责下一代治疗进步。
