Workshop for junior Biostatisticians in Cancer Research

我们提议每年举办一次癌症研究初级生物统计师研讨会，与国际生物统计学会(ENAR)北美东部地区年会同时举行，ENAR是美国生物统计学研究人员的主要专业聚会。研讨会的目的是为通常经验有限的初级生物统计学家提供必要的技能和机会方面的知识，这些技能和机会对于成功的研究生涯至关重要。我们建议有40名初级生物统计学家在获得学术界、政府和工业界的生物统计学博士学位后不到5年的时间内参加讲习班。通过由十名杰出的高级研究人员、两名成功的中级研究人员和一名CSR/NIH工作人员参加的研讨会，研讨会将为初级参与者提供深入的关键主题，如在学术期刊上发表文章，NIH资金信息和赠款撰写策略，与癌症研究人员的合作技能，以及成功职业生涯的生存技能，并有机会提出坦率的问题和寻求建议。研讨会将由首席调查员和她的联合调查员在ENAR商业办公室的协助和ENAR的支持下组织和协助。将认真努力招募妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。

We propose an annual Workshop for Junior Biostatisticians in Cancer Research, to be held in Conjunction with the annual meeting of the Eastern North American Region of the International Biometric Society (ENAR), the major professional gathering of biostatistical researchers in the U.S. The purpose of the Workshop is to provide junior biostatisticians, who often have limited experience, with the requisite knowledge about necessary skills and opportunities essential for a successful research career. We propose to have forty junior biostatisticians less than five years from receipt of a doctoral degree in biostatistical science from academia, government and industry participate in the Workshop. Through sessions featuring prominent ten senior researchers, two successful mid-level researchers, and one CSR/NIH staff member, the Workshop will offer junior participants in-depth coverage of key topics such as publishing in scholarly journals, NIH funding information and grant writing strategies, collaboration skills with investigators in cancer research, and survival skills for a successful career, with opportunity to ask candid questions and seek advice. The Workshop will be organized and facilitated by the Principal Investigator and her Co-investigators with the assistance of the ENAR Business Office and support from ENAR. Serious efforts will be made recruiting women and underrepresented minorities.
