DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Research Training Program in Surgical Oncology is intended to provide mentor-based training to young surgeon-scientists who will pursue research and teaching careers in Surgical Oncology. The two year postdoctoral program optimizes the ability of the trainees to translate modern molecular biology and other basic sciences to contemporary clinical problems. In the past five years our institution has developed an outstanding laboratory-based training program for academic surgical oncologists successfully training ten individuals who are now pursuing academic careers in different institutions throughout the country. Our goal is to continue this Program, while improving its attributes, to maximize the potential of our trainees to develop their own independent Surgical Oncology translational research efforts. Research training is accomplished through four areas of experience: 1) required core curriculum, 2) mentor-directed laboratory training in one of six areas of oncologic research, 3) basic and clinical science- oriented interactive seminars, and 4) attendance at national scientific meetings. All Core Faculty mentors have active, funded laboratories, and provide a broad base of experience in oncology-related basic research and prior mentoring experience. Their particular research strengths include chemoprevention, immunology, molecular biology/gene therapy, molecular biomarkers, applied pharmacology, and radiation biology. The Executive Committee provides administrative guidance to the Program Director, evaluates program progress and trainee applications, and suggests future directions. The Trainee Advisory Committee consists of a Core Faculty Mentor and additional Participating Faculty with appropriate research expertise. The External Review Committee provides for independent, extramural review of the program content and process. The UAB Department of Surgery offers trainees in all surgical subspecialties a unique opportunity to receive expert training in the basic and translational sciences. Funding of this Program will enable these trainees to pursue two years of uninterrupted study of fundamental Surgical Oncology problems while encouraging these surgeon-scientists to enter active academic careers with an emphasis on translational research that will undoubtedly impact the quality of cancer patient care in our country.

描述（由申请人提供）：该外科肿瘤学研究培训计划旨在为年轻的外科医生科学家提供基于导师的培训，他们将从事外科肿瘤学研究和教学职业。两年的博士后计划优化了受训者将现代分子生物学和其他基本科学转化为当代临床问题的能力。在过去的五年中，我们的机构为学术外科肿瘤学家开发了一项杰出的基于实验室的培训计划，成功培训了十个现在正在全国各地不同机构从事学术职业的人。我们的目标是继续该计划，同时改善其属性，以最大程度地提高学员开发自己的独立外科肿瘤学转化研究工作的潜力。 研究培训是通过四个经验领域来完成的：1）需要核心课程，2）在肿瘤学研究的六个领域之一，3）基本和临床科学的互动研讨会，以及4）参加国家科学会议。所有核心教师的导师都有积极的资助实验室，并在与肿瘤有关的基础研究和事先指导经验方面提供了广泛的经验。他们的特殊研究优势包括化学预防，免疫学，分子生物学/基因治疗，分子生物标志物，应用药理学和放射生物学。执行委员会为计划主任提供行政指导，评估计划进度和受训人员的申请，并提出未来的指导。学员咨询委员会由核心教师导师和其他参与教师组成，并具有适当的研究专业知识。外部审查委员会提供了对程序内容和过程的独立，外部审查。 UAB外科部为所有手术亚专业的受训者提供了接​​受基础科学和转化科学专家培训的独特机会。该计划的资金将使这些受训人员能够对基本手术肿瘤学问题进行两年的不间断研究，同时鼓励这些外科医生，从而进入积极的学术职业，重点是转化研究，这无疑会影响我国癌症患者护理的质量。
