Career Development Program

爱荷华大学/梅奥临床淋巴瘤孢子(UI/MC淋巴瘤孢子)职业目标 发展计划(CDP)是培养知识渊博、训练有素的科学家，在 翻译淋巴瘤研究的未来研究的多学科研究。提供充足的 培训和职业提升的机会是爱荷华大学和梅奥诊所的首要任务 科学界。这两个机构提供的广泛的研究和培训基础提供了 大力支持UI/MC淋巴瘤孢子CDP。CDP的主要目标是：(1)培训 年轻研究人员(高级博士后研究员和年轻教员)在翻译、多学科临床或 基础淋巴瘤研究；(2)将现有研究人员重新定向到进一步的淋巴瘤研究；以及(3) 与有兴趣从事研究工作的其他机构的研究人员合作 转化性淋巴瘤研究。在最初的资助期间，6名年轻调查人员获得了奖励。 他们的工作导致了新的易位的发现，潜在的抗原提呈的新方法， 以及目前正在进行临床试验的新疗法。在下一个资助期内，UI/MC 淋巴瘤孢子将维持：(1)严格的候选人遴选制度；(2)综合实习生 来自两个地点的导师和其他调查人员的指导；(3)通过科学导师小组提供支持 (个别受训人员咨询委员会)由两个地点的调查员组成，每个地点都有专门知识 学员的兴趣领域；。(4)多学科研究课程及持续的培训活动，例如 在两个地点举办多学科癌症研讨会系列会议和淋巴瘤小组会议；(5)鼓励 与调查小组在两个地点举行的会议进行协作；(6)鼓励与 爱荷华州和梅奥州的研究人员以及(7)通过 发展研究计划。

The goal of the University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic Lymphoma SPORE (UI/MC Lymphoma SPORE) Career Development Program (CDP) is to develop knowledgeable, well-trained scientists experienced in multidisciplinary research for future studies in translational lymphoma research. The provision of ample opportunities for training and career enhancement is a top priority of the University of Iowa and Mayo Clinic scientific communities. The extensive research and training base available at these two institutions provides strong support for the UI/MC Lymphoma SPORE CDP. The primary objectives of the CDP are to: (1) train young investigators (senior postdoctoral fellows and young faculty) in translational, multidisciplinary clinical or basic lymphoma research; (2) redirect established investigators to further lymphoma research; and (3) collaborate with investigators from other institutions who are interested in pursuing a research career in translational lymphoma research. During the initial funding period 6 young investigators received awards. Their work has led to the discovery of novel translocations, potential new methods of antigen presentation, and new treatments that are now being tested in clinical trials. During the next funding period, the UI/MC Lymphoma SPORE will maintain: (1) a stringent candidate selection system; (2) comprehensive trainee guidance by a mentor and other investigators from both sites; (3) support through a scientific mentor group (the Individual Trainee Advisory Committee) comprised of investigators from both sites with expertise in each trainee's area of interest; (4) multi-disciplinary research courses and on-going training activities such as the Multidisciplinary Cancer Seminar Series and Lymphoma Group meetings at both sites; (5) encouragement of collaboration with Investigator Group meetings at both sites; (6) encouragement of collaboration with investigators at both Iowa and Mayo and (7) opportunities for research enhancement through the Developmental Research Program.
