DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the past 70 years, the University of Minnesota (UMN) General Surgery training program has established a culture of excellence in basic science investigation and translational research, leading to 343 (213 Ph.D./132 M.S.) laboratory trained surgical scientists. More significantly, we lead the production of 45 department of surgery chairs, 80 division directors, and over 200 full professors of surgery. The UMN Surgical Oncology Research Training Program will provide independent basic science training experience in cancer biology through a mentor-based program for the development of basic science projects and through a UMN Graduate School curriculum and thesis. The program uniquely focuses on bridging the graduate education disparity of women and underrepresented minority surgical oncologists, through partnerships with the Society of Black Academic Surgeons, the Association of Women Surgeons, and the departments of surgery at Morehouse Medical School and Howard University College of Medicine. Trainees' research objectives include a core curriculum and thesis in the M.S.Surg program; a mentor-based leadership program for career and leadership development; presentation at a national scientific meeting. All Core Faculty mentors have funded laboratories and provide a broad base in oncology related research and prior mentoring experience. The training areas of strength include tumor biology, cancer epidemiology and prevention, molecular pathology, cancer immunology, molecular biology and gene therapy, early detection of cancer, and cancer treatment. The Executive Committee will provide administrative guidance to the Director and Associate Director and evaluate program progress, trainee applications, program goals, and strategic planning for future direction. The Trainee Advisory Committee will include local participating faculty mentors with appropriate research expertise and a leadership mentor. The External Review Committee provides independent, extramural review of the program content and process. The UMN Surgical Oncology Research Training Program will offer expert basic and translational research experience. Funding of this program will offer a unique opportunity for all trainees, but particularly for women and underrepresented minorities, to pursue uninterrupted graduate school (M.S.Surg) while developing leadership skills for a career in surgical oncology.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的 70 年里，明尼苏达大学 (UMN) 普通外科培训项目在基础科学研究和转化研究方面建立了卓越的文化，培养了 343 名博士生（213 名博士/132 名硕士）。 ）经过实验室培训的外科科学家。更重要的是，我们领导了45名外科主任、80名科主任和200多名外科教授。 UMN 肿瘤外科研究培训计划将通过基于导师的基础科学项目开发​​计划以及 UMN 研究生院课程和论文，提供癌症生物学方面的独立基础科学培训经验。该计划的独特重点是通过与黑人学术外科医生协会、女外科医生协会以及莫尔豪斯医学院和霍华德大学医学院的外科部门合作，缩小女性和代表性不足的少数族裔肿瘤外科医师的研究生教育差距。学员的研究目标包括外科硕士项目的核心课程和论文；基于导师的职业和领导力发展领导力计划；在全国科学会议上的演讲。所有核心教师导师都资助了实验室，并在肿瘤学相关研究和先前的指导经验方面提供了广泛的基础。优势培养领域包括肿瘤生物学、癌症流行病学与预防、分子病理学、癌症免疫学、分子生物学与基因治疗、癌症早期检测、癌症治疗等。执行委员会将为主任和副主任提供行政指导，并评估项目进展、学员申请、项目目标和未来方向的战略规划。实习生咨询委员会将包括具有适当研究专业知识的当地参与教师导师和领导导师。外部审查委员会对项目内容和流程进行独立的外部审查。 UMN 肿瘤外科研究培训计划将提供专家基础和转化研究经验。该计划的资助将为所有学员，特别是女性和代表性不足的少数族裔，提供一个独特的机会，让他们能够不间断地攻读研究生（M.S.Surg），同时培养肿瘤外科职业的领导技能。
