Career Development Program

职业发展计划（CDP）是PNW前列腺孢子的重要组成部分，旨在通过吸引和培养新的优秀研究人员来维持和加强我们的使命。CDP将继续实施一项战略，该战略已成功地培养了临床，基础和人口科学家，以从事前列腺癌转化研究的生产性职业。具体目标是： 1.为初级教师，高级研究员和希望发展或重新专注于转化前列腺癌研究的既定研究人员提供研究支持; 2.提供一个系统，指导教师和高级研究员在广泛的学科从事前列腺癌研究; 3.创建一个框架，使研究者能够接触到他们专业领域以外的转化前列腺癌研究的各个方面（例如，分子生物学家将通过参加肿瘤委员会和临床前列腺癌会议接触前列腺癌护理中的临床问题）; 4.吸引和留住妇女，少数民族和初级教师谁可以在包括PNW前列腺孢子机构转化前列腺癌研究作出关键贡献。 CDP将在FHCRC和华盛顿大学（UW）、温哥华总医院前列腺中心（VGH）和俄勒冈州健康科学大学（OHSU）之间进行协调。我们的组织结构跨站点工作，包括由职业发展委员会招募和监测候选人，通过会议和教育委员会进行教育协调，以及获得超过45名多学科研究人员，无论是在SPORE内部还是外部，其研究兴趣提供了转化前列腺癌研究的相关经验。CDP教育计划结合了广泛的个人研究机会，正式的教育课程，以及大量的转化前列腺癌研究会议和研讨会。我们计划继续招募合格的教职员工和高级研究员，他们希望扩大他们在转化前列腺癌研究方面的工作，重点是纳入代表性不足的少数民族申请人。除了SPORE赠款支持外，该方案还将得到大量机构资源的补充。

The Career Development Program (CDP) is an essential component of the PNW Prostate SPORE that serves to sustain and enhance our mission by attracting and nurturing new and talented research faculty. The CDP will continue to implement a strategy that has successfully developed clinical, basic, and population scientists for productive careers in translational prostate cancer research. The specific aims are: 1. Provide research support for junior faculty, advanced fellows, and established investigators who wish to develop or refocus their careers on translational prostate cancer research; 2. Provide a system for mentoring faculty and advanced fellows pursuing prostate cancer research in a broad range of disciplines; 3. Create a framework in which investigators can gain exposure to, and training in, aspects of translational prostate cancer research outside their areas of expertise (e.g., a molecular biologist would be exposed to clinical issues in prostate cancer care by attending tumor boards and clinical prostate cancer conferences); 4. Attract and retain women, minorities and junior faculty who can make key contributions to translational prostate cancer research at the institutions comprising the PNW Prostate SPORE. The CDP will be coordinated between the FHCRC and the University of Washington (UW); the Prostate Centre at the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH); and the Oregon Health Science University (OHSU). Our organizational structure works across sites and includes recruitment and monitoring of candidates by a career development committee, educational coordination through a conference and education committee, and access to more than 45 multidisciplinary investigators both within and outside the SPORE whose research interests provide relevant experience in translational prostate cancer research. The CDP educational program combines a wide spectrum of individual research opportunities, formal educational courses, and a large number of conferences and seminars in translational prostate cancer research. We plan to continue to recruit both qualified faculty members and senior research fellows who wish to expand their work in translational prostate cancer research, focusing on the inclusion of underrepresented minority applicants. In addition to SPORE grant support, this program will be augmented by substantial institutional resources.
