CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

前列腺癌安德森癌症中心孢子医学中心职业发展计划的目标是培养一支致力于人类前列腺癌转译研究的研究队伍。该计划将1)招聘、培训医生和博士后研究员，询问和回答问题，使他们成为前列腺癌领域的合格翻译调查人员。2)提供通常不包括在临床奖学金培训或博士项目中的癌症生物学基础科学原理的培训。3)提供前列腺癌研究的专门知识，这将增强获奖者针对这种疾病进行创新的翻译科学的能力。MDACC现有的独特教育环境将确保实现这些目标。每年将选出三名职业发展奖获得者。将从机构内外征集合格的候选人。鉴于反腐败委员会内部有大量合格的候选人，很可能大多数研究金受训人员将从这组调查员中挑选出来。获奖者将从根据客观标准对邀请函作出答复的候选人库中选出，实验室调查员将为获奖者提供全面培训。这些导师是从一个更大、更多样化的科学家和临床医生群体中挑选出来的，因为他们对翻译科学和作为教育者和导师的技能感兴趣。该计划将每年进行评估，并在适当时对培训的选择过程进行修改。

The goal of the career development program at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center SPORE in prostate is to develop a cadre of investigators dedicated to translational studies in human prostate cancer. The program will 1) recruit, train physicians and post-doctoral fellows to ask and answer questions that will enable them to become competent translational investigators in the field of prostate cancer. 2) To provide training in basic science principles of cancer biology that is not commonly included in clinical fellowship training or Ph.D. programs. 3) To provide specific knowledge of research in prostate cancer that will enhance the ability of the awardees to conduct innovative translational science directed toward this disease. The unique educational environment that exists at MDACC will assure that the goals will be met. Three career development awardees will be selected annually. Solicitations will be made for qualified candidates from within and outside of the institution. Given the large pool of qualified candidates within the MDACC, it is likely that most fellowship trainees will be selected from this group of investigators. Awardees will be selected from the pool of candidates who have responded to the solicitation based on objective criteria laboratory investigators that will provide comprehensive training of awardees. The mentors have been selected from a larger and diverse group of scientists and clinicians because of their interests in translational science and skill as educators and mentors. The program will be evaluated annually and modifications in the selection process of training made when appropriate.
