Career Enhancement Program

项目总结/摘要 职业提升计划（CEP）是PNW前列腺癌孢子的重要组成部分 这有助于通过吸引和培养新的和有才华的研究人员来维持和加强我们的使命。 CEP将继续实施已成功开发临床、基础和人群的战略 科学家在转化前列腺癌研究的生产性职业生涯。 该方案的具体目标是： 1.为初级教师，高级研究员和已建立的研究人员提供研究支持和协作专业知识 希望发展或重新专注于翻译PC研究的研究人员; 2.提供一个协调的系统，指导教师和高级研究员在整个计算机领域进行PC研究。 广泛的学科; 3.创建一个框架，使研究者能够接触并接受翻译PC方面的培训 他们专业领域之外的研究;以及 4.吸引和留住女性，少数民族和早期职业的初级教师谁可以作出关键贡献， PNW Prostate SPORE的翻译PC研究机构。 CEP将在Fred Hutch和华盛顿大学（UW）之间协调;前列腺 中心在温哥华总医院（VGH）和俄勒冈州健康科学大学（OHSU）。我们 组织结构适用于各地点，包括按职业招聘和监测候选人 提高委员会，通过会议和教育委员会进行教育协调， 超过50多个多学科的研究人员内外的孢子，其研究兴趣 提供转化前列腺癌研究的相关经验。CEP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 在转化前列腺癌研究的会议和研讨会。我们计划继续招募合格的 教师和高级研究员谁希望扩大他们的工作在转化前列腺癌 研究，重点是纳入妇女和代表性不足的少数民族申请人。除了孢子 在赠款支持下，该方案将得到大量机构资源的补充。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Career Enhancement Program (CEP) is an essential component of the PNW Prostate Cancer SPORE that serves to sustain and enhance our mission by attracting and nurturing new and talented research faculty. The CEP 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 of the CEP are to: 1. Provide research support and collaborative expertise for junior faculty, advanced fellows, and established investigators who wish to either develop or refocus their careers on translational PC research; 2. Provide a coordinated system for mentoring faculty and advanced fellows pursuing PC research across a broad range of disciplines; 3. Create a framework in which investigators can gain exposure to and training in aspects of translational PC research outside their areas of expertise; and 4. Attract and retain women, minorities, and early career junior faculty who can make key contributions to translational PC research at the institutions comprising the PNW Prostate SPORE. The CEP will be coordinated between the Fred Hutch 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 enhancement committee, educational coordination through a conference and education committee, and access to more than 50 multidisciplinary investigators both within and outside the SPORE whose research interests provide relevant experience in translational prostate cancer research. The CEP 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 women and underrepresented minority applicants. In addition to SPORE grant support, this program will be augmented by substantial institutional resources.
