DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this competitive renewal training grant application is to promote and support the successful career of pediatric hematologist-oncologists as physician-scientists in cancer research. There has been dramatic progress in biomedical research over the last 2 decades and it is now critical that this knowledge translate into new and better diagnostic and therapeutic advances for patients. Physician-scientists with strong research training play a critical role in this regard because of their dual training in research and clinical care. Paradoxically, the pool of such individuals has in fact decreased since the late 1990's. There is however indication that, as a result of initiatives taken by the NIH and other foundations, there is a progressive increase in "late bloomers" interested in a research career. This T32 grant application funded since 1991 by the NIH will now specifically target a group of such individuals with training in Pediatric Oncology. Twenty-eight faculty members at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California and City of Hope, with more than $ 26 million in extramural funding and with a combined expertise in laboratory, clinical and population-based research, will contribute as mentors and faculty resourced. The proposed training program will provide a minimum of 2 years of training in cancer research to 2 new individuals each year, who will be selected from the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program pt Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, a program with a solid record of training academic physicians. This training program will be conducted within the strong research and education environments of The Saban Research Institute of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center of the Keck School of Medicine and City of Hope, which will provide the trainees with a comprehensive curriculum that combines formal classes, workshops and seminars, one-on-one education sessions, and access to more than 20 core facilities. It is anticipated that individuals who complete this training program will contribute to enhancing the pool of physician-scientists in the nation and most particularly in the field of pediatric cancer. RELEVANCE (See instructions): This training grant application focuses on addressing the critical issue of the shortage of physician-scientists in biomedical and translational research. It will focus on training individuals with MDs or MD/PhDs selected from a pool of participants in the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program at CHLA/USC in laboratory or clinical/translational research. It is expected that this training program will contribute to replenishing the pool of physician-scientists in translational biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项竞争性更新培训授予申请的目的是促进和支持小儿血液学家肿瘤学家作为癌症研究中科学家的成功职业。在过去的20年中，生物医学研究取得了巨大的进步，现在至关重要的是，这些知识转化为患者的新诊断和治疗进步。具有强大研究培训的医师科学家在这方面起着至关重要的作用，因为他们在研究和临床护理方面进行了双重培训。自相矛盾的是，自1990年代后期以来，此类人的库实际上已经下降了。但是，有迹象表明，由于NIH和其他基金会采取的倡议，对研究职业感兴趣的“晚开花者”逐渐增加。 NIH自1991年以来资助的T32赠款申请现在将专门针对一群接受小儿肿瘤学培训的人。洛杉矶儿童医院的28位教职员工，南加州大学的凯克医学院和希望之城，拥有超过2600万美元的校外资金，并具有实验室，临床和人群研究的综合专业知识，将以导师和教师资源为基础。拟议的培训计划每年将为2个新人提供至少2年的癌症研究培训，这些培训将从儿科血液肿瘤学奖学金计划PT洛杉矶医院中选出，这是一项具有良好培训学术医师记录的计划。该培训计划将在Saban研究所洛杉矶研究所的强大研究和教育环境中进行，洛杉矶，凯克医学院诺里斯综合癌症中心和希望之城，该中心将为受训者提供一项全面的课程，与正式的课程，讲习班，研讨会和研讨会，一次性的教育会议，以及超过20个核心的设施相结合。预计完成该培训计划的个人将有助于加强全国医师科学家的库，尤其是在小儿癌症领域。 相关性（请参阅说明）：本培训赠款申请的重点是解决生物医学和转化研究中医师科学家短缺的关键问题。它将专注于培训从CHLA/USC在实验室或临床/转化研究中，在CHLA/USC的儿科血液肿瘤学奖学金计划中选出的MDS或MD/PHD的个人。预计该培训计划将有助于补充转化生物医学研究中的医师科学家库。
