Career Development Program

DF/HCC GI孢子职业发展计划(CDP)旨在提供必要的激励和结构，以吸引初级研究人员从事GI癌症的基础、翻译和临床研究。CDP的总体目标是培养有才华的新研究人员在胃肠道癌症领域取得成功。通过提供研究支持和接触GI孢子研究人员，我们希望促进初级教师的独立研究生涯。此外，孢子CDP努力吸引少数族裔和女性研究人员进入胃肠道癌症领域。聚集在DF/HCC GI孢子中的研究人员在指导从事GI癌症研究的初级教员方面有很高的记录。GI孢子CDP已经建立了一个正式的程序，用于识别、选择和指导在GI癌症的基础、临床和人口科学方面寻求职业生涯的个人。CDP治理和审查委员会由BWH、MGH、DFCI和BIDMC的杰出高级导师领导，指导一个确保对GI孢子CDP进行最佳选择、支持和监督的计划。在过去的资助周期中，CDP挑选、资助和指导了15名有才华的GI癌症年轻研究人员，他们在GI癌症领域做出了非凡的职业发展和重大贡献。 职业发展计划的具体目标是： 1.建立一个系统，以寻找有前途的年轻研究人员，寻求成为胃肠道癌症研究的独立调查人员。 2.提供资金和资源，监测获奖者的进展情况。 3.促进孢子中的指导环境，这将有助于CDP获奖者和其他初级教员的职业发展。 4.培养和发展下一代胃肠道肿瘤转化研究带头人。

The DF/HCC GI SPORE Career Development Program (CDP) is designed to provide the incentive and structure necessary to attract junior investigators in basic, translational and clinical research into GI cancer. The overall goal of the CDP is to nurture the success of talented new researchers in GI cancer. By providing research support and exposure to the GI SPORE investigators, we hope to promote the independent research careers of junior faculty. Moreover, the SPORE CDP strives to attract minority and female investigators to the field of GI cancer. The investigators assembled in the DF/HCC GI SPORE have a substantial record in mentorship of junior faculty working in GI cancer research. The GI SPORE CDP has established a formal process for the identification, selection, and mentoring of individuals pursuing careers in the study of basic, clinical, and population science-based aspects of GI cancer. The CDP Governance and Review Committee, led by outstanding senior mentors across BWH, MGH, DFCI, and BIDMC, direct a program that ensures optimal selection, support, and oversight of the GI SPORE CDP. Over the past funding cycle, the CDP has selected, funded, and mentored 15 talented young investigators in GI cancer who have made exceptional career development as well as substantial contributions to the field of GI cancer. The Specific Aims of the Career Development Program are: 1. Establish a system to identify promising young investigators seeking to become independent investigators in GI cancer research. 2. Provide funding and resources and monitor awardee progress. 3. Promote a mentoring environment in the SPORE that will assist in the career development of CDP awardees as well as other junior faculty. 4. Train and develop the next generation of leaders in GI cancer translational investigation.
