项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars (SMIS) program is an integrated, cross-disciplinary postdoctoral training program at Stanford University that brings together 45 faculty mentors from 15 departments in the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Humanities and Sciences. Molecular imaging, the non-invasive monitoring of specific molecular and biochemical processes in living organisms, continues to expand its applications in the detection and management of cancer. We train, on average, ~7 postdoctoral trainees per year. SMIS faculty mentors provide a diverse training environment spanning biology, physics, mathematics/biocomputation/ biomedical informatics, engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, cancer biology, immunology, and medical sciences. The centerpiece of the SMIS program is the opportunity for trainees (PhD or MD with an emphasis on PhD) to conduct innovative molecular imaging research that is co-mentored by faculty in complementary disciplines. SMIS trainees also engage in specialized coursework, seminars, national conferences, clinical rounds, including ethics training and the responsible conduct of research. The three-year program culminates with the preparation and review of a mock grant, in support of trainee transition to an independent career in cancer molecular imaging. During this initial 3.7 year period, 14 trainees have entered the SMIS program; 8 are currently enrolled and 6 have completed the program as of this writing. Two additional trainees will complete in August, 2010, bringing the total number of "SMIS graduates" to 8. Those who have moved on are either in faculty positions, other academic positions, or working in biotechnology. Demand for the SMIS training is high; we now receive, on average, more than 20 applications per year from qualified candidates seeking placement in our program, which can accommodate only 2-4 new trainees per year. For the upcoming cycle, we propose an enriched SMIS program that achieves the following: expands our recently added Program Area in Nanotechnology; strategically selects additional faculty mentors; presents improvement in all other training and career development components; expands leadership for our mock grant program and our clinical exposure component; and pursues rigorous recruitment of underrepresented minority candidates. The goal of the SMIS program is to continue to provide talented young investigators with the scientific and professional education/career development opportunities to become leaders in the field of molecular imaging of cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：斯坦福分子成像学者 (SMIS) 项目是斯坦福大学的一个综合性、跨学科博士后培训项目，汇集了来自医学院、工程学院、人文科学学院 15 个系的 45 名教师导师。分子成像是对生物体中特定分子和生化过程的非侵入性监测，不断扩大其在癌症检测和管理中的应用。我们平均每年培训约 7 名博士后学员。 SMIS 教师导师提供多元化的培训环境，涵盖生物学、物理学、数学/生物计算/生物医学信息学、工程、化学、生物化学、癌症生物学、免疫学和医学。 SMIS 项目的核心是为学员（博士或医学博士，重点是博士）提供在互补学科教师的共同指导下进行创新分子成像研究的机会。 SMIS 学员还参加专业课程、研讨会、全国会议、临床查房，包括道德培训和负责任的研究行为。这个为期三年的计划最终以模拟拨款的准备和审查结束，以支持学员过渡到癌症分子成像领域的独立职业。在最初的 3.7 年期间，已有 14 名学员进入 SMIS 计划；截至撰写本文时，目前已有 8 人注册，6 人已完成该计划。另外两名学员将于 2010 年 8 月完成培训，从而使“SMIS 毕业生”总数达到 8 人。那些已经转行的学员要么担任教职、其他学术职位，要么从事生物技术工作。对 SMIS 培训的需求很高；现在，我们平均每年收到 20 多份来自合格候选人的申请，寻求加入我们的项目，而该项目每年只能容纳 2-4 名新学员。对于即将到来的周期，我们提出了一个丰富的 SMIS 计划，该计划可实现以下目标：扩展我们最近添加的纳米技术计划领域；战略性地选择额外的教师导师；提出所有其他培训和职业发展组成部分的改进；扩大我们的模拟资助计划和临床暴露部分的领导力；并严格招募代表性不足的少数族裔候选人。 SMIS 计划的目标是继续为有才华的年轻研究人员提供科学和专业教育/职业发展机会，使其成为癌症分子成像领域的领导者。
