DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This COBRE is designed to develop the research careers of a series of promising junior investigators in the field of Cancer Genetics. Their careers will be developed utilizing a strong core of research mentors who will help craft a plan for the development of each investigator, and provide advice and encouragement to those investigators. The five projects in this COBRE focus on two critical, overlapping areas in cancer genetics, genetic instability and gene regulation. An internal advisory committee composed of mentors and other scientists with extremely strong research and mentoring records, along with a prominent board of external advisors with outstanding research careers and track records of career development for junior scientists, will participate not only in the guidance, but also the evaluation of progress of the junior investigators. Besides the strong mentoring program, career development will involve a series of program meetings, exposure to didactic grant-writing sessions, mini-symposia, and seminars to develop a highly collaborative environment for both the junior faculty, as well as other members of the COBRE and the Cancer Genetics Research Program under the auspices of the Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium (LCRC). The LCRC is a joint effort of Tulane University and the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans to develop a Cancer Consortium. The Consortium is funded by a long-term State of Louisiana commitment, with the goal of obtaining NCI-designation for a Cancer Center in New Orleans. The Consortium is providing funds for recruitment of at least 6 new investigators for the Cancer Genetics Research Program in the next two years, as well as providing a new building that will allow investigators from both Tulane and LSUHSC to share common space designed around this Program. This COBRE will represent the ideal centerpiece to develop successful and productive careers of promising junior investigators who are valuable members of the Cancer Genetics Research Program, in a manner centered on collaboration and faculty development, resulting in strong growth and establishing long-term success of both the COBRE and the Cancer Genetics Research Program.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该COBRE旨在发展癌症遗传学领域一系列有前途的初级研究人员的研究事业。他们的职业生涯将利用研究导师的强大核心来发展，他们将帮助制定每个研究人员的发展计划，并为这些研究人员提供建议和鼓励。COBRE的五个项目集中在癌症遗传学，遗传不稳定性和基因调控的两个关键重叠领域。一个由导师和其他具有极强研究和指导记录的科学家组成的内部咨询委员会，沿着一个由具有杰出研究生涯和初级科学家职业发展记录的杰出外部顾问组成的杰出董事会，不仅将参与指导，而且还将参与对初级研究者进展的评估。除了强大的指导计划，职业发展将涉及一系列的程序会议，接触教学补助金写作会议，小型研讨会和研讨会，以开发一个高度协作的环境，为初级教师，以及COBRE和癌症遗传学研究计划的其他成员路易斯安那州癌症研究联盟（LCRC）的主持下。LCRC是杜兰大学和新奥尔良路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心共同努力建立的癌症联盟。该联盟由路易斯安那州的长期承诺资助，目标是为新奥尔良的癌症中心获得NCI指定。该联盟将在未来两年内为癌症遗传学研究计划招募至少6名新研究人员提供资金，并提供一座新建筑，使杜兰大学和LSUHSC的研究人员能够共享围绕该计划设计的公共空间。这个COBRE将代表理想的核心，以发展有前途的初级研究人员的成功和富有成效的职业生涯，这些研究人员是癌症遗传学研究计划的宝贵成员，以合作和教师发展为中心，从而实现强劲增长，并建立COBRE和癌症遗传学研究计划的长期成功。
