DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Proposed is the continuation of our educational program for pre-doctoral fellows in Cancer Epidemiology and Control. We aim to build on the program which we have developed in the past four years, working to train outstanding scientists prepared for the rapidly changing field of cancer epidemiology, skilled with a deep understanding of epidemiologic methods, with an integrated understanding of the biology and pathology of cancer and of other relevant disciplines and with the ability to engage in interdisciplinary research. We will combine excellent mentorship of researchers from the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine (SPM) at the University at Buffalo (UB), others at UB and from Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) to provide a curriculum including coursework, special seminars, and mentored interdisciplinary research. The proposed program provides a sub-specialty in cancer epidemiology and control, developing the training in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and expanding training collaborations. We propose to continue development and implementation of the specialized curriculum in cancer epidemiology emphasizing the integration of cancer biology and pathology as well as including opportunities for development of expertise in a number of other disciplines. This program would continue to provide for the development of cancer epidemiologists equipped to do cutting edge research and to handle the research challenges of the future. The objectives are to: recruit outstanding pre-doctoral fellows with a background in epidemiology or another relevant field and train them in cancer epidemiology and control with an integrated understanding of cancer biology, pathology and other relevant fields, by providing a structured curriculum in cancer epidemiology and those other fields; taking advantage of the opportunities and resources available through the partnership of SPM, other UB departments and RPCI, provide tailored hands-on opportunities for pre-doctoral fellows to develop research skills in epidemiology and control as well as in other related disciplines including biostatistics, cancer biology, cancer genetics, health behavior, toxicology, nutrition, immunology, or geographic information systems; and provide an understanding of and experience in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborative research. Working with an engaged advisory committee and with the advice of external advisors, we will continue to work to recruit a diverse cadre of young scientists with excellent credentials and train them to operate in a rapidly changing and challenging environment to move them toward careers as independent scientists, contributing significantly to our understanding of cancer epidemiology and control.

描述（由申请人提供）：提议的是我们在癌症流行病学和控制中为癌前研究员的教育计划的延续。我们旨在以过去四年来开发的计划为基础，努力培训为癌症流行病学快速变化领域做准备的杰出科学家，熟练地了解流行病学方法，并对癌症的生物学和其他相关学科的生物学和病理的综合了解以及参与跨学科研究的能力进行了整合的了解。我们将结合布法罗大学（UB）社会和预防医学系（SPM）的研究人员的出色指导，UB的其他研究人员以及罗斯威尔公园癌症研究所（RPCI）（RPCI）提供了课程，包括课程，特殊研讨会和指导的跨学科研究。拟议的计划提供了癌症流行病学和控制方面的亚专业，开发了多学科和跨学科研究的培训，并扩大了培训合作。我们建议继续开发和实施癌症流行病学专业课程，强调癌症生物学和病理学的整合，以及在许多其他学科中发展专业知识的机会。该计划将继续为开发癌症流行病学家的发展提供了尖端研究并应对未来的研究挑战。这些目标是：招募具有流行病学背景或其他相关领域背景的杰出杰出博士前研究员，并通过在癌症生物学和其他相关领域的综合理解，对癌症生物学，病理学和其他相关领域进行综合理解，通过在癌症流行病学和其他领域中提供结构化的课程；利用SPM，其他UB部门和RPCI的合作伙伴关系的机会和资源，为博士前研究员提供了量身定制的动手机会，以发展流行病学和控制方面的研究技能以及其他相关学科，包括生物统计学，包括生物学，癌症生物学，癌症遗传学，疾病，毒理学，毒理学，营养学，免疫学，或地理系统或地理学系统；并提供对跨学科和跨学科合作研究的理解和经验。与参与的咨询委员会合作，并在外部顾问的建议下，我们将继续努力招募拥有出色证书的年轻科学家干部，并训练他们在迅速变化和挑战的环境中运作，以将他们作为独立科学家的职业发展，从而为我们对癌症流行病学和控制的理解做出了重要贡献。
