Workshop for junior Biostatisticians in Cancer Research

我们建议每年为癌症研究的初级生物统计学家举办一次研讨会，与国际生物识别学会（ENAR）的北美东部地区年会一起举行，ENAR是美国生物统计研究人员的主要专业聚会。研讨会的目的是为经验有限的初级生物统计学家提供具备必要的知识，必要的技能和机会必不可少的一个成功的研究事业。我们建议来自学术界、政府和工业界的40名获得生物统计科学博士学位不到5年的初级生物统计学家参加研讨会。研讨会将邀请10位杰出的高级研究人员、2位成功的中级研究人员和1位CSR/NIH工作人员，为初级参与者提供深入的主题报道，如在学术期刊上发表论文、NIH资助信息和拨款写作策略、与研究人员在癌症研究中的合作技巧、成功职业生涯的生存技能等，并有机会提出坦诚的问题和寻求建议。研讨会将由首席研究员和她的联合研究员组织和促进，并得到ENAR商务办公室的协助和ENAR的支持。将认真努力招募妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。

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.
