TEAM-BASED INTERDISCIPLINARY CANCER RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT In advancing innovative ways to address complex cancer challenges, there is a growing trend to bring together scientists with knowledge and perspectives from different disciplines. The emphasis on developing relationships across scientific disciplines and adopting collaborative interdisciplinary approaches to scientific discovery has been recognized and shown to lead to significant advances in our fundamental understanding of cancer and its clinical management. In addition, it is abundantly clear that such advances rarely occur in isolation but typically represent team-based research endeavors. We believe that early exposure of trainees to interdisciplinary education and training coupled with team-based learning and research environments will better position them for successful careers in any area of cancer research. At present, there are no existing NCI-funded T32 programs devoted to team-based training. This concept is emphasized in our proposed Team-based Interdisciplinary Cancer Research Training (TICaRT) Program. The Program is based on four premises: 1) interdisciplinary training in team science will be critical in preparing future generations of cancer scientists; 2) team-based research translates into an improved training environment by providing trainees with access to scientists in different disciplines; 3) Florida needs a continuous supply of highly-trained cancer researchers including women, underrepresented minorities and individuals with disabilities; and 4) program graduates must have the skills to translate their knowledge and experience to achieve successful cancer research careers in academic, industry, or government positions. Our goal is to develop a cadre of outstanding independent investigators in a training program that encompasses cancer research across disciplines and unites laboratories, trainees, and mentors in areas, including dentistry, engineering, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, veterinary medicine, and communication. The TICaRT program capitalizes on our existing strengths at the University of Florida, including a core of well-established and productive investigators, outstanding research facilities, an exemplary record of collaboration, excellent institutional commitment, and a culture of successful mentorship of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and early stage faculty. We have assembled a cohesive group of 29 basic science and clinical faculty from 22 departments, 9 Colleges, and 10 PhD Programs. Upon entering the TICaRT Program, each member of the trainee team will create and implement a tailored training plan under the guidance of his/her faculty mentors. Trainees will achieve their research and career development objectives through a combination of didactic, research, and professional development activities. The TICaRT Program requests NCI support for 1 pre-doctoral and 3 post-doctoral trainees; support for 2 additional pre-doctoral trainees is pledged by our institution. The TICaRT T32 is led by a Director and two Co-Directors, who will obtain input from Internal and External Advisory Boards, and ongoing program evaluations and quality improvement will be in place to ensure the long-term success of the trainees.

基于团队的跨学科癌症研究培训计划 项目概要/摘要 在推进创新方法来应对复杂的癌症挑战时，越来越多的趋势是将 具有不同学科知识和观点的科学家。重视发展关系 跨科学学科并采用跨学科协作方法进行科学发现 被认可并被证明会导致我们对癌症及其相关疾病的基本理解取得重大进展 临床管理。此外，很明显，这种进步很少单独发生，但通常是 代表基于团队的研究工作。我们相信受训者尽早接触跨学科 教育和培训加上基于团队的学习和研究环境将使他们更好地定位 在癌症研究的任何领域取得成功的职业生涯。目前，尚无 NCI 资助的 T32 项目 致力于团队培训。我们提出的基于团队的跨学科方案强调了这一概念 癌症研究培训 (TICaRT) 计划。该计划基于四个前提：1）跨学科 团队科学培训对于培养下一代癌症科学家至关重要； 2) 以团队为基础 通过为受训者提供接触科学家的机会，研究转化为改善的培训环境 不同学科； 3) 佛罗里达州需要持续供应训练有素的癌症研究人员，包括女性， 少数群体和残疾人代表性不足； 4）项目毕业生必须具备以下技能： 转化他们的知识和经验，在学术、工业、 或政府职位。我们的目标是通过培训培养一支优秀的独立调查员骨干队伍 该计划涵盖跨学科的癌症研究，并将实验室、学员和导师联合起来 领域，包括牙科、工程、医学、护理、药学、公共卫生、兽医等 沟通。 TICaRT 项目充分利用了佛罗里达大学现有的优势，包括 一个由完善且富有成效的研究人员组成的核心、出色的研究设施、模范的记录 协作、出色的机构承诺以及成功指导研究生的文化， 博士后研究员和早期教师。我们组建了一个由 29 名基础科学和 来自 22 个系、9 个学院和 10 个博士项目的临床教师。进入 TICaRT 计划后， 学员团队的每位成员将在其指导下制定并实施量身定制的培训计划 教师导师。学员将通过结合实现他们的研究和职业发展目标 教学、研究和专业发展活动。 TICaRT 计划请求 NCI 支持 1 博士前、博士后3名；我们承诺为另外 2 名博士前培训生提供支持 机构。 TICaRT T32 由一名董事和两名联合董事领导，他们将获得内部和外部的意见 将设立外部咨询委员会以及持续的计划评估和质量改进，以确保 学员的长期成功。
