DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Pediatric Cancer Epidemiology training program emanates from the University of Minnesota Department of Pediatrics and the Cancer Center. The program provides opportunities for both pre- and postdoctoral students to enhance their research training and experience in pediatric cancer epidemiology. Through the expertise of the 17 training faculty, trainees can work in a variety of research settings including molecular biology, genetics, prevention and etiology, clinical outcomes (including late effects), and exposure and behavior assessment. Strong Graduate School degree programs at the University of Minnesota in Epidemiology (PhD) and in Clinical Research (MS) offer courses in epidemiology, cancer epidemiology, biostatistics, cancer biology, genetic epidemiology, nutrition, methods, human experimental studies, and field research relevant to pediatric cancer. Further, students have opportunities for supervised research in basic biology, human and animal research, study design, analysis, and grant writing. The current training program trains one pre-doctoral graduate student and three post-doctoral students. The predoctoral trainee is formally admitted into the Graduate School Ph.D. program in Epidemiology. The postdoctoral trainees are drawn from the medical and basic sciences through national advertising, as well as from the cohort of medical fellows in the Department of Pediatrics who have completed advanced clinical training in pediatric oncology and are beginning the research component of their training. Special attention is given to recruitment of individuals from under-represented minorities. It is anticipated that two post-doctoral trainees will choose to obtain a MS in Clinical Research. Criteria for selection of both pre- and postdoctoral trainees include: strong academic performance and a career orientation toward independent research in an academic, clinical, or public health setting. Trainees who graduate from this program will have the capacity to undertake pediatric cancer epidemiologic research across a spectrum of disciplines. All trainees participate in weekly pediatric epidemiology meetings, monthly seminars, an annual retreat, and as presenters of their own research at national meetings. All trainees receive instruction in the responsible conduct of research. RELEVANCE: Pediatric cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in children, and rates have been significantly increasing since the 1970s, with little yet known about causes. This training program builds on the strengths of the internationally recognized pediatric cancer research program at the University of Minnesota and produces broadly educated researchers skilled in the area of pediatric cancer epidemiology.

描述（由申请人提供）：该小儿癌症流行病学培训计划来自明尼苏达大学儿科和癌症中心。该计划为学前和博士后学生提供了增强其研究培训和小儿癌症流行病学经验的机会。通过17位培训学院的专业知识，学员可以在各种研究环境中工作，包括分子生物学，遗传学，预防和病因，临床结果（包括迟到）以及暴露和行为评估。明尼苏达大学流行病学（PHD）和临床研究（MS）的强大研究生学位课程提供了流行病学，癌症流行病学，生物统计学，癌症生物学，遗传流行病学，营养，方法，实验研究以及与儿科癌症相关的现场研究。此外，学生有机会进行基础生物学，人类和动物研究，研究设计，分析和赠款写作的监督研究。当前的培训计划训练一名博士后研究生和三名博士后学生。托管前学员被正式录取入学院博士学位。流行病学计划。博士后学员是通过国家广告以及儿科部门的医疗研究员的同伙来吸引的，他们已经完成了小儿肿瘤学的高级临床培训，并开始了培训的研究部分。特别注意来自代表性不足的少数群体的个人。预计两名博士后学员将选择获得临床研究中的MS。选择前和博士后学员的标准包括：在学术，临床或公共卫生环境中的独立研究方面的强大学业表现和职业定位。从该计划毕业的学员将有能力在许多学科上进行小儿癌症流行病学研究。所有学员都参加每周的小儿流行病学会议，每月研讨会，年度务虚会，并在国家会议上作为自己研究的主持人。所有学员都接受了负责任的研究的指导。 相关性：儿科癌症是儿童与疾病相关的主要原因，自1970年代以来的发生率显着增加，对原因却一无所知。该培训计划以明尼苏达大学的国际认可的儿科研究计划的优势为基础，并在儿科癌症流行病学领域培养了广泛教育的研究人员。
