Career Enhancement Program

项目总结/摘要 职业提升计划（CEP）的总体具体目标是招聘和发展以下人员的职业生涯： 年轻的教师谁致力于前列腺癌的转化研究，并在合理的 案例，中级和高级研究人员谁已经建立在另一个研究领域谁想要 将他们的研究重点转移到前列腺癌领域。 前列腺癌研究的未来在于创造性和创新性研究人员的持续进入 在这方面，我们的工作重点是将妇女和儿童纳入实地，并制定解决未满足需求领域的基本和转化项目。 对这些努力的机构支持对于该领域的进步也至关重要;因此， SPORE的CEP由机构资金补充，以便为重要的新举措提供快速资金 在我们的SPORE研究目标范围内。SPORE项目已获得机构资金 和核心支持，以及为CEP预算提供补充资金， 计划，以支持有前途的新的研究人员在前列腺癌领域的工作转化 research.资助的优先事项将是那些有潜力的独立研究生涯的申请人 在前列腺癌领域，其倡议被认为具有最高的科学价值， 翻译潜力和相关性的整体研究使命的加州大学洛杉矶分校前列腺孢子。后 经CEP遴选委员会初步审查，执行委员会批准供资项目， 确定CEP资金使用的优先次序。每个项目的年度资金将至少为 25，000美元，目标为50，000美元，每年至少资助两个CEP奖项。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall Specific Aim of the Career Enhancement Program (CEP) is to recruit and develop the careers of junior faculty members who are committed to translational research in prostate cancer, and, in well-justified cases, mid-level and senior investigators who are already established in another area of research who want to redirect their research focus to the field of prostate cancer. The future of prostate cancer research lies in the continued entry of creative and innovative investigators into the field and the development of basic and translational projects that solve areas of unmet need. Institutional support of these endeavors is also critical to advances in the field; therefore the Prostate SPORE's CEP is supplemented by institutional funds to allow for rapid funding of important new initiatives within the scope of our SPORE research goals. Institutional funding has been secured for SPORE project and core support, as well as to provide supplemental funds for the CEP budget, allowing for the SPORE program to support promising new investigators working in the field of prostate cancer translational research. The priority for funding will be those applicants with potential for an independent research career in the field of prostate cancer, and whose initiatives are considered of highest scientific merit and with translational potential and relevance to the overall research mission of the UCLA Prostate SPORE. After initial review by the CEP Selection Committee, the Executive Committee approves the funding line and determines priorities for use of the CEP funds. Annual funding for each project will be a minimum of $25,000, with a goal of $50,000, and a minimum of two CEP awards will be funded annually.
