DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB) of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) School of Medicine (SOM) resubmits this proposal to continue an innovative and successful pre-doctoral training program in cancer biostatistics. The objective of this program is to train individuals to be rigorous and independent academic investigators able to use the range of approaches in biostatistics to address questions in cancer research. The program is specifically built upon existing collaborative relationships among biostatistics, statistics, and cancer research faculty in the CCEB and Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology (DBE), the Abramson Cancer Center (ACC), and Wharton's Department of Statistics (STAT) at Penn. This pre-doctoral training program for PhD students in Statistics and Biostatistics who have advanced to the dissertation stage of their training, provides didactic training in fundamental skills, methodologies, and principles of biostatistics, with emphasis on the areas of most importance to cancer research. Trainees are required to obtain a strong background in substantive areas related to cancer through participation in research seminars and a series of interdisciplinary courses in cancer research and cancer biology that examine methodologic issues, scientific approaches, technologies, concepts, and applications of statistical approaches in cancer research. Specifically, the training program is designed to: 1) provide in-depth knowledge of the biostatistical techniques appropriate to cancer research; 2) provide research experiences with mentors in both biostatistics and cancer research; and 3) provide an inter-disciplinary infrastructure, bringing together faculty and students in the CCEB, DBE, ACC, and STAT, designed to support graduate education in cancer biostatistics. The strengths of the program are its training program in biostatistics, including comprehensive course offerings available to students; the wide-ranging experience of the biostatistics faculty in multiple areas of biostatistics methods and cancer research; the commitment of the faculty to collaborative research and training; the established teaching program in Statistics offered by the Wharton School; the long history of successful clinical research training programs offered by the CCEB; and the existing collaborative links among CCEB and DBE faculty in biostatistics and epidemiology, the ACC, and STAT. The resources available to students include a broad array of ongoing research projects, including clinical trials, observational studies, translational research, and experimental studies. Penn's commitment to collaborative research and training and the broad range of expertise and experiences of faculty participating in this training program provide an ideal environment for this training program.

描述（由申请人提供）：宾夕法尼亚大学（Penn）医学院（SOM）临床流行病学与生物统计学中心（CCEB）（SOM）将这项提议重新提交，以继续一项创新且成功的癌症生物统计学研究前培训计划。该计划的目的是训练个人进行严格和独立的学术研究人员，能够使用生物统计学中的一系列方法来解决癌症研究中的问题。该计划特别建立在CCEB生物统计学，统计和癌症研究学院之间的现有协作关系基础上，生物统计学和流行病学系（DBE），艾布兰森癌症中心（ACC）和沃顿统计局（STAT）在宾夕法尼亚州的艾伯兰癌症中心（ACC）和沃顿统计局（STAT）。 这项针对统计学和生物统计学的博士学位学生的博士前培训计划，他们晋升为培训的论文阶段，提供了基本技能，方法论和生物统计学原理的教学培训，重点是对癌症研究最重要的领域。要求受训者通过参与研究研讨会以及一系列癌症研究和癌症生物学的跨学科课程来获得与癌症有关的实质领域的强大背景，这些课程研究了方法论问题，科学方法，技术，技术，概念以及统计方法在癌症研究中的应用。具体而言，培训计划旨在：1）对适合癌症研究的生物统计技术提供深入的知识； 2）为生物统计学和癌症研究的导师提供研究经验； 3）提供一个跨学科的基础设施，将CCEB，DBE，ACC和STAT的教职员工汇集在一起​​，旨在支持癌症生物统计学的研究生教育。 该计划的优势是其生物统计学的培训计划，包括学生可以使用的全面课程；生物统计学教师在生物统计学方法和癌症研究的多个领域的广泛经验；教师对合作研究和培训的承诺；沃顿学校提供的统计学既定教学计划； CCEB提供的成功临床研究培训计划的悠久历史；以及CCEB和DBE教师在生物统计学和流行病学，ACC和STAT中的现有协作联系。学生可用的资源包括一系列正在进行的研究项目，包括临床试验，观察研究，翻译研究和实验研究。宾夕法尼亚州对合作研究和培训的承诺以及参加该培训计划的教师的广泛专业知识和经验为该培训计划提供了理想的环境。
