Career development activities were a major focus of the initial funding period of the Kidney Cancer SPORE. Many investigators within the DF/HCC Kidney Cancer SPORE have had a longstanding interest and substantial track record in mentoring of junior faculty with an interest in cancer research. The funding of the Kidney Cancer SPORE in 2003 enabled us to establish a formal process for the identification, selection, funding and mentoring of young investigators seeking to pursue careers in basic and clinical aspects of kidney cancer research. In addition, as this field has traditionally received only modest interest from young investigators, it enabled us to focus on marketing to young investigators the potential benefits of pursuing a research career focused on kidney cancer. We feel that our efforts to date have been an unqualified success, with no fewer than 15 young investigators establishing independent academic careers focused at least partially on kidney cancer as a consequence of their interactions with the SPORE. Several of these individuals are leading Kidney Cancer Programs at major academic institutions creating opportunities to multiply the impact of the SPORE on the field (see below and in the Career Development Program Progress Report). We have also been successful at obtaining institutional and outside support for the Career Development Program, which has added to our ability to support young faculty pursuing careers in kidney cancer.

职业发展活动是肾癌 SPORE 初始资助期间的主要重点。 DF/HCC 肾癌 SPORE 的许多研究人员对指导对癌症研究感兴趣的初级教师有着长期的兴趣和丰富的记录。 2003 年肾癌 SPORE 的资助使我们能够建立一个正式的流程，用于识别、选择、资助和指导寻求在肾癌研究的基础和临床方面从事职业的年轻研究人员。此外，由于传统上年轻研究人员对该领域的兴趣不大，因此我们能够专注于向年轻研究人员推销从事肾癌研究职业的潜在好处。我们认为迄今为止我们的努力取得了绝对的成功， 由于与 SPORE 的相互作用，不少于 15 名年轻的研究人员建立了独立的学术生涯，至少部分关注肾癌。其中一些人正在主要学术机构领导肾癌项目，创造机会扩大 SPORE 在该领域的影响（见下文和职业发展项目进度报告）。我们还有 职业发展计划成功地获得了机构和外部的支持，这增强了我们支持年轻教师从事肾癌职业的能力。
