DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UCLA scholars in Oncologic Molecular Imaging (SOMI) is a diverse training program bringing together 9 Departments, predominantly from the UCLA Life and Health Sciences, in order to train the next generation of molecular imaging scientist. Oncologic molecular imaging is a rapidly growing area which combines the disciplines of cell/molecular biology, chemistry, biomedical physics, biomathematics, pharmacology, imaging sciences, and clinical medicine to advance cancer research, diagnosis and management. The UCLA Department of Molecular & Medical Pharmacology (DMMP) and the Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging (CIMI) are key players in helping to move the field of molecular molecular imaging forward. With initial critical seed support from the UCLA Jonson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC), UCLA has helped to rapidly grow the field of molecular imaging. Funding sources for the molecular imaging program at UCLA now include the Department of Energy, NCI (P50) In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imigaing Center (ICMIC) grant, Several NCI R01'a, and NCI Small Animal Imaging Resource Program (SAIRP) grant. The time is ripe for training the next generation of scientists that can bridge the various fields needed to study cancer biology/therapeutics in intact living organisms. In the current proposal, our goals are to train 19 post-doctoral fellows through a diverse group of 29 basic science and clinical faculty mentors representing 7 program areas, 6 formal courses in molecular imaging, pharmacology, cancer biology, cancer immunology, virology, gene therapy, and clinical hematology/oncology rounds. Fellows will be recruited into a three year program and will complete coursework and research with at least two mentors. Furthermore, they will do a mock grant proposal in their third year to help them gain experience and confidence in the grant application process. Special attention will be given towards recruiting minority applicants. A Training Committee will carefully monitor the process of all SOMI trainees, and an Advisory Committee will monitor the entire SOMI program. Graduates of SOMI will be uniquely trained to study cancer in an organism context with state-of-the-art technologies. We are evolving area of the oncologic molecular imaging.

描述（由申请人提供）：肿瘤学分子成像（SOMI）中的UCLA学者是一项多样化的培训计划，将9个部门汇集在一起​​，主要是来自UCLA生活和健康科学，以培训下一代分子成像科学家。肿瘤分子成像是一个快速生长的区域，结合了细胞/分子生物学，化学，生物医学物理学，生物护理学，药理学，成像科学和临床医学的学科，以提高癌症研究，诊断和管理。 UCLA分子与医学药理学系（DMMP）和Crump分子成像研究所（CIMI）是帮助移动分子分子成像领域的主要参与者。 在UCLA Jonson综合癌症中心（JCCC）的最初关键种子支持下，UCLA帮助迅速发展了分子成像领域。 UCLA分子成像计划的资金来源现在包括能源部，NCI（P50）在体内和分子IMIGAINGING CENTER（ICMIC）GRANT，几个NCI R01'A和NCI小动物成像资源计划（SAIRP）。 培训下一代科学家的时间已经成熟，这些科学家可以弥合研究完整生物体中癌症生物学/治疗剂所需的各个领域。 在当前的提案中，我们的目标是通过29个基础科学和临床教师指导者组成的多样化培训19名博士后研究员，这些群体代表7个计划领域，6种分子成像，药理学，癌症生物学，癌症免疫学，病毒学，基因治疗，基因治疗以及临床血液学/肿瘤学循环的正式课程。 研究员将被招募为三年计划，并将与至少两名导师一起完成课程和研究。 此外，他们将在第三年做出模拟赠款提案，以帮助他们获得对赠款申请流程的经验和信心。 将特别关注招募少数民族申请人。 培训委员会将仔细监视所有SOMI学员的过程，咨询委员会将监视整个SOMI计划。 SOMI的毕业生将接受以最先进的技术在生物环境中研究癌症的独特培训。 我们正在肿瘤分子成像的发展区域。
