Career Enhancement Program

项目总结 职业提升计划旨在增加梅奥的翻译调查员基础 通过鉴定和培养对骨髓瘤孢子感兴趣的年轻研究人员的早期职业生涯 多发性骨髓瘤的翻译研究。特别是，该计划提供了亟需的支持， 在职业生涯早期就有希望的年轻实验室或临床研究人员，这样他们就可以集中精力 与多发性骨髓瘤相关的研究项目。孢子CEP提供50,000美元一年的费用 (孢子基金90,000美元和梅奥诊所癌症中心提供的50,000美元机构支持)2-3 每年的奖项。在取得进展和成功重新竞争的基础上，有可能提供第二年的支持。 作为通过梅奥综合癌症中心做出的承诺的一部分，梅奥已经同意与这些项目相匹配 资金。职业提升计划最大限度地利用梅奥内部的科学专业知识 社区。职业提升计划委员会负责组织该计划，并 审查提交的研究提案。在前一次资助期间(第1-5年)，孢子有 支持12名调查人员，每人为期1年。他们都参与了骨髓瘤的翻译研究。 以及相关的血液恶性肿瘤，12个中有10个仍在我们的孢子中，1个在另一个NCI 指定的癌症中心。 在下一个资助期内，该孢子将维持： ·严格的候选人遴选制度，鼓励少数族裔和妇女提出申请 ·由导师提供全面的实习生指导 ·通过一个科学指导小组(个别学员指导委员会)提供支助，该小组由以下人员组成 在每个受训人员感兴趣的领域拥有专业知识的调查人员 ·多学科研究课程和正在进行的培训活动，如多学科癌症 系列研讨会和骨髓瘤小组会议 ·鼓励与梅奥所有地点的调查人员合作 ·通过发展研究方案和完整的 项目。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Career Enhancement Program is designed to increase the translational investigator base in the Mayo Myeloma SPORE by identifying and fostering the early careers of young investigators who have an interest in multiple myeloma translational research. In particular, this program provides much-needed support for promising young laboratory or clinical investigators early in their careers so that they can focus their energies on research projects related to multiple myeloma research. The SPORE CEP provides $50,000 for one year ($90,000 from SPORE funds and institutional support of $50,000 from the Mayo Clinic cancer Center) for 2-3 awards per year. A second year of support is possible based on progress and successful re-competition. Mayo, as part of its commitment through the Mayo Comprehensive Cancer Center, has agreed to match these funds. The Career Enhancement Program makes maximal use of the scientific expertise within the Mayo community. The Career Enhancement Program Committee is responsible for organizing the program and reviewing research proposals as submitted. During the prior funding period (years 1-5), the SPORE has supported 12 investigators each for 1 year. All of them remain involved in translational research in myeloma and related hematologic malignancies, and 10 of 12 are still involved in our SPORE and one is at another NCI designated Cancer Center. During the next funding period, the SPORE will maintain: · a stringent candidate selection system that encourages applications from minorities and women · comprehensive trainee guidance by a mentor · support through a scientific mentor group (the Individual Trainee Mentorship Committee) comprised of investigators with expertise in each trainee’s area of interest · multi-disciplinary research courses and on-going training activities such as the Multidisciplinary Cancer Seminar Series and Myeloma Group meetings · encouragement of collaboration with investigators at all Mayo sites · opportunities for further research enhancement through the Developmental Research Program and full Projects.
