Career Enhancement Program

摘要：职业提升计划(CEP) MSCP孢子职业提升计划(CEP)的使命是激发基础、翻译、 通过招募和支持黑色素瘤和其他皮肤领域的新研究人员进行临床研究 癌症。CEP为这项任务提供了财政资源，而孢子本身提供了一个支持性的 和激励的研究环境。在最近的MSCP孢子授权期，我们支持了8个CEP 获奖者，他们都是早期调查人员(2名讲师、1名研究助理教授和5名研究助理教授 助理教授)。CEP获奖者在职业发展方面取得了成功(有6人获得了 学术晋升和担任行业高级领导职位)，出版他们的工作，以及 获得外部资金。我们将继续每年通过RFP征求建议书1-2次，并使用同行- 审查评分系统，以确定资助提案的优先顺序(2-3年/年，每个提案最高75K美元)。CEP和 孢子联席董事、RMC代表、内部和外部咨询委员会成员参加 审查流程，以及患者权益倡导者和在特殊情况下可能需要的其他专家 评审员的专业知识是必要的。CEP将跟踪成功申请的进展情况，并提供 资助调查人员的顾问，以确保他们从MSCP孢子核心获得任何所需的服务 他们完全融入了孢子计划。获奖者将其研究成果提交给 孢子调查人员在一年的支持后，才有资格获得第二年的支持。 翻译方面的进展以及可能的影响和创新决定了正在进行的CEP项目 演变为未来的完整孢子项目(如当前申请中的项目1和2)。获奖者 在准备孢子外资助的拨款申请时，亦会视乎情况而定。 机制，并允许获得核心资源，以协助这一努力。

ABSTRACT: Career Enhancement Program (CEP) The mission of the MSCP SPORE Career Enhancement Program (CEP) is to stimulate basic, translational, and clinical research by recruiting and supporting new investigators in the area of melanoma and other skin cancers. The CEP provides financial resources for this mission, while the SPORE itself provides a supportive and stimulating research environment. In the most recent MSCP SPORE grant period, we supported 8 CEP awardees, all of whom were early-stage investigators (2 Instructors, 1 Research Assistant Professor and 5 Assistant Professors). CEP Awardees have experienced success in advancing their careers (with 6 receiving academic promotions and 1 assuming a senior leadership position in industry), publishing their work, and obtaining extramural funding. We will continue to solicit proposals via RFP 1-2 times/year and to use a peer- reviewed scoring system to prioritize proposals for funding (2-3/year at up to $75K each). The CEP and SPORE Co-Directors, RMC representatives, Internal and External Advisory Board members participate in the review process, together with Patient Advocates and additional experts who may be called upon if special reviewer expertise is necessary. The CEP will track progress of the successful applications and provide advisors to funded investigators to ensure that they obtain any needed services from the MSCP SPORE Cores and that they are fully-integrated into the SPORE program. Awardees present their research results to the SPORE investigators after one year of support in order to become eligible for a second year of support. Progress toward translation as well as likely impact and innovation determine whether ongoing CEP projects evolve into future full SPORE projects (as in the case of Projects 1 and 2 in the current application). Awardees will also be advised as appropriate in the preparation of grant applications for funding outside the SPORE mechanism and given access to Core resources to aid in this endeavor.
