Developmental Core

抽象-发展的核心 该发展核心的目标是提供基础设施和知识，以招募和支持初级员工 以及新的研究人员进入艾滋病毒相关癌症领域，特别是肺癌领域。核心将招募，资助， 监测进展，提供指导，并支持正在进行/完成的研究项目在 3个国家和地区的3个机构。我们将调整已在 Case CCC，拥有Paul Calabresi临床肿瘤学职业发展奖(K12学者 项目)现已进入第18个资助年头，CWRU/UH CFAR符合这一U54的具体要求。 具体地说，这项计划每年将为我们合作院校的3名初级教师提供试点资助。 (在该项目中总共有15名教职员工)，这将与指导和专业密切相关 发展计划。该计划的创新方面将是发展点对点辅导 定期访问乌干达的CWRU教职员工参与的方案，以及广泛使用网络研讨会和基于网络的 沟通，以举办联合审查小组、研讨会和举行指导委员会会议。在当前 在竞争激烈的资金环境中，成功的关键是提供一致的支持以及具体的 必要时，向初级调查人员提供指导，以便为提交材料生成足够的初步数据 具有很强竞争力的拨款申请。我们31年的密切合作历史，以及相互 我们与乌干达同事建立的尊重(这将延伸到我们的坦桑尼亚人 同事)，构成了这一新颖和创新的发展核心的基础。

ABSTRACT – Developmental Core The goal of this Developmental Core is to provide the infrastructure and know-how to recruit and support junior and new investigators to field of HIV-associated cancers and in particular lung cancer. The Core will recruit, fund, monitor progress, provide mentorship and support the presentation of ongoing/completed research projects at three institutions across 3 countries. We will adapt methods and activities that have been used successfully in the Case CCC, which has a Paul Calabresi Career Development Award for Clinical Oncology (K12 Scholars Program) now in its 18th year of funding and the CWRU/UH CFAR to the specific requirements of this U54. Specifically, this initiative will provide pilot grant support for 3 junior faculty from our partner institutions per year (leading to a total of up to 15 faculty in the program) which will be closely linked to mentoring and professional development plans. Innovative aspects of the program will be the development of peer-to-peer mentoring program involving CWRU faculty who visit Uganda regularly, and the extensive use of webinars and web-based communication to run joint review panels, workshops and hold mentoring committee meetings. In the current highly competitive funding environment, the key to success is to provide consistent support as well as specific guidance, when needed, to junior investigators to allow generation of enough preliminary data for a submission of a strong competitive grant application. Our 31-year history of close collaboration, and the climate of mutual respect that we have developed with our Ugandan colleagues (which will be extended to our Tanzanian colleagues), form the basis for this novel and innovative Developmental Core.
