CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

M.D.安德森癌症中心SPORE前列腺职业发展项目的目标是培养一批致力于人类前列腺癌转化研究的研究人员。该项目将招募、培训医生和博士后，让他们提问和回答问题，使他们成为前列腺癌领域有能力的转化研究人员。2)提供癌症生物学基础科学原理方面的培训，这些培训通常不包括在临床奖学金培训或博士课程中。3)提供前列腺癌研究的具体知识，以增强获奖者针对该疾病进行创新转化科学的能力。MDACC独特的教育环境将确保这些目标的实现。每年将选出三名职业发展奖得主。我们将向学院内外的合格候选人进行征集。鉴于MDACC内有大量合格的候选人，大多数研究金受训者很可能将从这组调查人员中选出。获奖者将根据客观标准从响应征集的候选人中选出，实验室调查人员将为获奖者提供全面的培训。这些导师是从一个更大的、多样化的科学家和临床医生群体中挑选出来的，因为他们对转化科学感兴趣，并且具备作为教育者和导师的技能。该计划将每年进行评估，并在适当的时候对培训的选择过程进行修改。

The goal of the career development program at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center SPORE in prostate is to develop a cadre of investigators dedicated to translational studies in human prostate cancer. The program will 1) recruit, train physicians and post-doctoral fellows to ask and answer questions that will enable them to become competent translational investigators in the field of prostate cancer. 2) To provide training in basic science principles of cancer biology that is not commonly included in clinical fellowship training or Ph.D. programs. 3) To provide specific knowledge of research in prostate cancer that will enhance the ability of the awardees to conduct innovative translational science directed toward this disease. The unique educational environment that exists at MDACC will assure that the goals will be met. Three career development awardees will be selected annually. Solicitations will be made for qualified candidates from within and outside of the institution. Given the large pool of qualified candidates within the MDACC, it is likely that most fellowship trainees will be selected from this group of investigators. Awardees will be selected from the pool of candidates who have responded to the solicitation based on objective criteria laboratory investigators that will provide comprehensive training of awardees. The mentors have been selected from a larger and diverse group of scientists and clinicians because of their interests in translational science and skill as educators and mentors. The program will be evaluated annually and modifications in the selection process of training made when appropriate.
