DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposal is to continue a training program in cancer research at Columbia University that was established in 1984. The rationale of the Cancer Biology Training Program is to identify and recruit individuals with outstanding potential and prepare them for highly productive careers in cancer research. This will be achieved by offering a rigorous didactic curriculum, providing opportunities for cancer research in the laboratories of Columbia University faculty, and fostering an interactive environment in which trainees can gain exposure to the full range of scientific disciples involved in cancer research. Funds are initially requested to support 6 postdoctoral and 4 predoctoral trainees. The participating faculty are selected on the basis of the cancer focus and quality of their research programs, their record of productive interactions with other cancer investigators, and their experience in training postdoctoral fellows and predoctoral students. Trainees are chosen competitively according to the cancer focus and quality of their proposed research project, their past academic and research performance, their future potential as independent investigators, and their commitment to a career in cancer research. The Cancer Biology Training Program will benefit greatly from a dramatic expansion of cancer research that is now underway at Columbia University. This expansion is driven by the opening in 2005 of the Irving Cancer Research Facility, a new 300,000 square-foot 10-story building devoted entirely to cancer research. To occupy this facility, Columbia University and New York Presbyterian Hospital have made large investments to recruit leading scientists in the basic, translational, and clinical arenas of cancer research. Most of these recruits should become active participants in the Cancer Biology Training Program by 2007. These developments should broaden the scope and enhance the quality of the Cancer Biology Training Program, as well as attract a superior pool of trainees seeking academic careers in cancer research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是在1984年成立哥伦比亚大学的癌症研究培训计划。癌症生物学培训计划的理由是识别和招募具有杰出潜力的个人，并为他们在癌症研究领域的高产职业做好准备。这将通过提供严格的教学课程，为哥伦比亚大学教师实验室提供癌症研究的机会来实现这一目标，并促进互动环境，在该环境中，学员可以在其中接触到参与癌症研究的各种科学门徒。最初要求资金支持6个博士后和4位培训前学员。 参与的教师是根据其研究计划的癌症重点和质量，与其他癌症研究者进行生产互动的记录以及他们在培训博士后研究员和专业学生培训的经验中选择的。根据他们提议的研究项目的癌症重点和质量，他们的过去的学术和研究表现，作为独立研究人员的潜力以及他们对癌症研究职业的承诺，可以竞争竞争。 癌症生物学培训计划将受益于哥伦比亚大学正在进行的癌症研究的巨大扩展。这一扩展是由2005年Irving Cancer Research Facility开业的驱动的，Irving Cancer Research设施是一座新的300,000平方英尺的10层建筑，完全专门用于癌症研究。为了占据这一设施，哥伦比亚大学和纽约长老会医院已经进行了大量投资，以招募主要，转化和临床癌症研究领域的领先科学家。这些新兵中的大多数应该在2007年成为癌症生物学培训计划的积极参与者。这些事态发展应扩大范围并提高癌症生物学培训计划的质量，并吸引寻求学术职业癌症研究的优越的受训者。
