Career Development Program

爱荷华州神经内分泌肿瘤孢子职业发展计划的目标是发展 知识渊博、训练有素的科学家在未来的研究中具有多学科研究经验 翻译神经内分泌肿瘤研究。提供充足的培训和职业机会 改进是爱荷华大学科学界的首要任务。职业发展计划 是我们长期致力于神经内分泌肿瘤研究的关键组成部分，使我们能够 招募聪明、精力充沛的新研究人员从事翻译孢子研究。广泛的研究和 爱荷华大学的培训基地为孢子职业发展提供了强有力的支持 程序。爱荷华州神经内分泌肿瘤孢子职业发展计划的主要目标是 对年轻研究人员进行翻译、多学科基础、临床或基于人群的研究方面的培训 神经内分泌肿瘤。这是他们职业生涯中培养协作性、翻译关注点的理想时机。 每年将选出一名职业发展奖获得者，并提供1-2年的支持。孢子职业生涯 发展奖将提供为期一年的最高100,000美元(50,000美元来自孢子基金和匹配的 爱荷华大学提供5万美元)。根据进展情况，可能再提供一年的支助 成功的复赛。职业发展计划主任将保持：(1)严格的候选人 选拔制度；(2)由导师对学员进行全面指导；(3)通过科学导师提供支持 由研究人员组成的小组(学员个人指导委员会)，每个小组都有专门知识 学员的兴趣领域；。(4)多学科研究课程及持续的培训活动，例如 多学科癌症研讨会系列和神经内分泌肿瘤小组会议；(5)出席 调查员小组会议和每年一次的孢子撤退；(6)鼓励与调查员合作 在爱荷华州和外部机构；以及(7)通过以下途径加强研究的机会 发展研究计划。

The goal of the Career Development Program of the Iowa Neuroendocrine Tumor SPORE is to develop knowledgeable, well-trained scientists experienced in multidisciplinary research for future studies in translational neuroendocrine tumor research. The provision of ample opportunities for training and career enhancement is a top priority of the University of Iowa scientific community. The Career Development Program is a critical component of our long-term commitment to research in neuroendocrine tumors that allows us to recruit bright, energetic new investigators into translational SPORE research. The extensive research and training base available at the University of Iowa provides strong support for the SPORE Career Development Program. The primary objective of the Iowa Neuroendocrine Tumor SPORE Career Development Program is to train young investigators in translational, multidisciplinary basic, clinical or population-based research in neuroendocrine tumors. This is an ideal point in their careers to develop a collaborative, translational focus. One career development awardee will be chosen each year and supported for 1-2 years. The SPORE Career Development award will provide up to $100,000 for one year ($50,000 from SPORE funds and a matching $50,000 from the University of Iowa). An additional year of support is possible based on progress and successful re-competition. The Career Development Program Director will maintain: (1) a stringent candidate selection system; (2) comprehensive trainee guidance by a mentor; (3) support through a scientific mentor group (the Individual Trainee Mentorship Committee) comprised of investigators with expertise in each trainee's area of interest; (4) multi-disciplinary research courses and on-going training activities such as the Multidisciplinary Cancer Seminar Series and Neuroendocrine Tumor Group meetings; (5) attendance at Investigator Group meetings and yearly SPORE retreat; (6) encouragement of collaboration with investigators at both Iowa and outside institutions; and (7) opportunities for research enhancement through the Developmental Research Program.
