Career Enhancement Program

项目摘要/摘要 Case GI SPORE职业发展计划（CEP）的总体目标是开发下一个 一代GI癌症转化学者，他们1）接受过GI癌症广泛基础的培训 病理生物学; 2）准备好领导一个独立的转化胃肠道癌症研究计划; 3）面向并能够 最有效地利用创新的转化和跨学科的科学方法来攻击和解决 与GI恶性肿瘤相关的问题; 4）致力于改善与GI相关的患者健康的各个方面 从病因学到预防、筛查、诊断、治疗和 生存，和5）准备与学术政策和机构，社区和 国家资源，以最有效地支持计划的发展，促进学术进步。 GI孢子CEP建立在为GI癌症的成功职业生涯做好准备的良好记录基础上 护理和研究。它将支持3，有时4 CEP学者每年提供的资金从 SPORE Grant，Case综合癌症中心和CWRU医学院。机会 将与CWRU和临床转化科学合作提供转化研究培训 奖项（CTSA）-KL 2职业发展计划。学生将获得75%的保护时间， 研究和职业培训。培训计划将包括4个主要核心组成部分：1）研究项目; 2)研究培训; 3）多学科指导和4）结构化研究和职业发展 规划每位学者将获得一个由3名导师组成的团队，包括1）研究项目导师，2） 翻译研究导师，3）职业发展导师，指导学者发展 成功的研究和学术生涯专注于转化GI癌症研究。学者进步 CEP学者理事会和学者将监督整个计划的执行和绩效 将在地方和国家一级征聘，特别努力征聘妇女和 代表性不足的族裔群体。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall objective of the Case GI SPORE Career Development Program (CEP) is to develop the next generation of GI Cancer Translational Scholars who are 1) trained in the broad fundamentals of GI cancer pathobiology; 2) ready to lead an independent translational GI cancer research program; 3) oriented and able to most effectively utilize innovative translational and transdisciplinary science approaches to attack and solve problems associated with GI malignancies; 4) committed to improving all aspects of patient health relevant to GI malignancies across the spectrum from etiology through prevention, screening, diagnosis, therapy and survivorship, and 5) prepared with sufficient understanding of academic policies and institutional, community and national resources to most effectively support program development and promote academic advancement. The GI SPORE CEP builds on a strong track record of preparing trainees for successful careers in GI Cancer Care and Research. It will support 3 and sometimes 4 CEP Scholars per year with funds provided from the SPORE Grant, the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center and CWRU School of Medicine. Opportunities for translational research training will be provided in collaboration with the CWRU and Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) – KL2 Career Development Program. Scholars will be provided with 75% protected time for research and career training. The training program will consist of 4 main core components: 1) Research Project; 2) Research Training; 3) Multidisciplinary Mentoring and 4) Structured Research and Career Development Planning. Each scholar will be provided with a team of 3 mentors including 1) a Research Project Mentor, 2) a Translational Research Mentor, and 3) a Career Development Mentor to guide the scholars to develop successful research and academic careers focused on translational GI Cancer Research. Scholars progress and performance and that of the overall program will be monitored by the CEP Scholars Council and scholars will be recruited on both a local and national level with special efforts made to recruit women and members of underrepresented ethnic groups.
