DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for a comprehensive Training Program in Brain Tumor Biology at UAB offers the rigorous interdisciplinary education required for the development of independent research scientists in this field. The Training Program is based in the Departments of Cell Biology, Pathology, and Surgery. The 16 faculty members of the Training Program have been selected based on their complementary research expertise in basic and translational brain tumor research, dynamic research programs, and training records. Research projects include: studies of the molecular aspects of brain tumor migration/invasion, angiogenesis, cell surface receptor-initiated signaling, the regulation of apoptosis, and novel viral approaches to therapy. The exposure of the trainees to the full spectrum of intellectual and experimental approaches to this disease will be integrated formally through a new graduate level course in Brain Tumor Biology, a weekly Brain Tumor Research Conference, a monthly Brain Tumor Research and Treatment Seminar Series, and an annual UAB Brain Tumor Biology Scientific Retreat. The Training Program will be administered by Dr. Etty Benveniste (Director), Dr. Candece Gladson (Co-Director), and Dr. Jim Markert (Co-Director), and by an Executive Committee (Drs. Benos, Gillespie, Roth and Sontheimer). This group of faculty will be responsible for development of individual training plans, integration of research and didactic components, oversight of formal requirements, recruitment, competitive review of formal applications, and oversight of the trainees' progress. An additional strength of this Training Program is the close association with the UAB Brain Tumor SPORE Grant (PI: Dr. Yancey Gillespie), and the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center Neuro-Oncology Program. Funding is requested for both advanced pre-doctoral students and postdoctoral trainees. Thus, this Training Program in Brain Tumor Biology will prepare future investigators in this important and clinically relevant area of research.

描述（由申请人提供）：UAB脑肿瘤生物学综合培训计划的申请提供了对该领域独立研究科学家发展所需的严格跨学科教育。该培训计划基于细胞生物学，病理学和手术部门。该培训计划的16名教职员工是根据其基础和翻译脑肿瘤研究，动态研究计划和培训记录方面的互补研究专业知识选择的。研究项目包括：研究脑肿瘤迁移/侵袭，血管生成，细胞表面受体引起的信号传导，细胞凋亡的调节以及新颖的治疗病毒方法的研究。受训人员将通过新的脑肿瘤生物学的新研究生级课程，每周一次的脑肿瘤研究会议，每月的脑肿瘤研究和治疗研讨会系列以及一年一度的UAB脑肿瘤生物学科学撤退，将受训者暴露于该疾病的全部智力和实验方法中。 培训计划将由Etty Benveniste博士（主任），Candece Gladson博士管理 （联合导演）和吉姆·马克特（Jim Markert）博士（联合导演），并由执行委员会（Benos，Gillespie，Roth和Sontheimer博士）。这组教职员工将负责制定个人培训计划，研究和教学成分的整合，正式要求的监督，招聘，对正式申请的竞争审查以及对学员进步的监督。该培训计划的额外优势是与UAB脑肿瘤孢子补助金（PI：Yancey Gillespie博士）和UAB综合癌症中心神经肿瘤学计划的密切联系。要求为高级博士后学生和博士后学员提供资金。因此，该脑肿瘤生物学的培训计划将在这一重要且与临床相关的研究领域中为未来的研究者做好准备。
