DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Cancer Education and Career Development Program (CECDP) is preparing junior and more experienced basic scientists for the interdisciplinary research environment. The CECDP is primarily designed for experimental cancer researchers to obtain training in population science including cancer epidemiology, survival analysis, population genetics, pharmacogenetics, and statistical modeling of cancer. An important feature of the proposed program is that it focuses on integrating knowledge from population and experimental studies of cancer and establishes links between these different areas in both educational and scientific parts of the program. Such interdisciplinary focus is lacking in existing cancer training programs. It aims to improve credibility of studies performed by experimental cancer researchers. The program will include: (l) six semesters of weekly seminars (conducted by both faculty and trainees) emphasizing connections between cancer biology and epidemiology; human and animal studies of cancer; cancer and aging; population genetics and epigenetics; cancer biomarkers and prevention; and statistical approaches to population and experimental studies of cancer; (2) research training and project in population science; (3) preparing scientific publications and mock grant application with the interdisciplinary focus, for further career development. The program will be based at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center's Research Program in Cancer Prevention, Detection, and Control, and will engage faculty, mentors, and Advisory Committee members from various Duke Departments, representing all the areas involved into this program. We plan to recruit four fellows who have completed doctorates in basic/experimental cancer biology/genetics. Recruitment will be undertaken on a national level, followed by personal interviews to identify postdoctoral candidates with strong motivation in interdisciplinary cancer research. Our multidisciplinary team of highly qualified faculty/mentors is capable to carry out both educational and research parts of this program. With support of comprehensive scientific resources of Duke University, this will provide a solid environment for the interdisciplinary training and career development proposed in the CECDP.

描述（由申请人提供）：该癌症教育和职业发展计划 (CECDP) 的目的是为跨学科研究环境培养初级和经验丰富的基础科学家。 CECDP 主要为实验癌症研究人员设计，以获得人口科学方面的培训，包括癌症流行病学、生存分析、群体遗传学、药物遗传学和癌症统计模型。拟议计划的一个重要特点是，它侧重于整合来自人口和癌症实验研究的知识，并在该计划的教育和科学部分中的这些不同领域之间建立联系。现有的癌症培训计划缺乏这种跨学科的关注。它旨在提高实验癌症研究人员进行的研究的可信度。该计划将包括： (l) 六个学期的每周研讨会（由教师和学员共同主持），强调癌症生物学和流行病学之间的联系；人类和动物癌症研究；癌症和衰老；群体遗传学和表观遗传学；癌症生物标志物和预防；癌症人口和实验研究的统计方法； （二）人口科学研究培训和项目； (3) 准备跨学科的科学出版物和模拟资助申请，以促进进一步的职业发展。该项目将以杜克综合癌症中心的癌症预防、检测和控制研究项目为基础，并将吸引来自杜克大学各个院系的教师、导师和咨询委员会成员，代表该项目涉及的所有领域。我们计划招募四名已完成基础/实验癌症生物学/遗传学博士学位的研究员。招聘将在全国范围内进行，然后进行个人面试，以确定对跨学科癌症研究有强烈动机的博士后候选人。我们的高素质教师/导师组成的多学科团队有能力开展该计划的教育和研究部分。在杜克大学综合科学资源的支持下，这将为CECDP提出的跨学科培训和职业发展提供良好的环境。
