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孢子最初供资期间的主要重点。 DF/HCC肾癌孢子内的许多研究人员在指导对癌症研究感兴趣的初级教师方面有着长期的兴趣和大量的跟踪记录。2003年对肾癌孢子的资助使我们能够建立一个正式的程序，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，由于这一领域传统上只受到年轻研究者的适度兴趣，它使我们能够专注于向年轻研究者营销追求专注于肾癌研究事业的潜在好处。我们认为，我们迄今为止的努力是绝对成功的， 不少于15名年轻的研究人员建立了独立的学术生涯，至少部分集中在肾癌上，因为他们与孢子的相互作用。其中几个人正在主要学术机构领导肾癌项目，创造机会扩大SPORE对该领域的影响（见下文和职业发展计划进展报告）。我们还 成功地获得了机构和外部对职业发展计划的支持，这增加了我们支持年轻教师从事肾癌职业的能力。
