Career Development Program

一、目标和概述 职业发展奖计划的目标是吸引基础、翻译和临床 研究人员皮肤癌研究，为他们提供有关人类皮肤癌的信息，导师 他们在自己选择的职业道路上，并将接受者融入孢子的翻译使命中。 BWH皮肤癌孢子中的许多研究人员都有长期的兴趣和实质性的追踪 初级教师的指导和发展记录。该计划建立了一个正式的程序，用于 确定、选拔、资助和指导寻求从事皮肤癌职业生涯的年轻研究人员 研究。 职业发展方案的资金将为每年100,000美元，其中55,000美元将从 国家卫生研究院在这次竞争性续签申请中，以及来自机构支持的45,000美元。其目的是为了 每年资助一到两名获奖者。个人获奖者可以在一年或多年内获得资金 几年的时间就符合他们的需要。该奖项的候选人可以接受多个级别的培训：高级级别 博士后研究员将在三年内进入教职员工和教师级别的初级教职员工 完成他们的培训，谁有兴趣从事假设驱动的研究。典型的申请者是 初级教员，具有强大的研究计划，在指导环境中有稳定的职位，以及 需要资金作为独立的桥梁。也会考虑现有的调查人员。 有兴趣将他们的研究重点转向皮肤癌。提名、申请和委员会的程序 通常将使用审查来分发奖项。有时，首席调查员可能会建议 预约(例如，如果资金在计划外可用)。提名过程的目的 (高级教员推荐初级教员)是为了确保该奖项的日常导师在场 收件人。如果资深教员不是黑色素瘤和皮肤学会的成员，他们有资格申请 达纳-法伯哈佛癌症中心的肿瘤学项目，寻求与孢子的联系 并有一个前景看好的项目，将受益于孢子会员资格。在实践中，获奖者 应参加孢子活动，使用孢子芯，并定期与库珀博士会面。

I. GOALS AND OVERVIEW The goal of the Career Development Award Program is to attract basic, translational and clinical investigators into skin cancer research, to provide them with information about human skin cancer, mentor them in their chosen career pathways, and integrate the recipients into the translational mission of the SPORE. Many investigators within the BWH Skin Cancer SPORE have longstanding interest and a substantial track record of mentoring and developing of junior faculty. This Program establishes a formal process for the identification, selection, funding and mentoring of young investigators seeking to pursue careers in Skin cancer research. The Career Development Program will be funded at $100,000 per year, with $55,000 being requested from the NIH in this competitive renewal application, and $45,000 deriving from institutional support. The intent is to fund one or two awardees per year. Individual awardees may receive funds over a single year or multiple years as fits their needs. Candidates for this award can be at several levels of training: senior level postdoctoral fellows who are moving into faculty status and instructor level junior faculty within three years of completing their training who are interested in pursuing hypothesis-driven research. The typical applicant is a junior faculty member with a strong program of research, a secure position in a mentoring environment, and the need for funding as a bridge to independence. Consideration is also given to established investigators interested in shifting their research focus to skin cancer. A process of nomination, application and committee review will generally be used to distribute the awards. On occasion, the Principal Investigator may recommend appointment (for instance if funds become available off-schedule). The purpose of the nominating process (senior faculty recommending junior faculty) is to assure the day-to-day presence of a mentor for the award recipients. Senior faculty are eligible to apply if they are not members of the Melanoma and Cutaneous Oncology Program in the Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center (DFHCC), seek association with the SPORE and have a promising project that would benefit from SPORE membership. In practice, award recipients should attend SPORE functions, use SPORE Cores, and meet with Dr. Kupper on a regular basis.
