Career Development (Ingle)

马约诊所乳腺癌孢子的职业发展计划致力于识别和指导初级教师与发展转化乳腺癌研究的独立计划的最大潜力。这将通过严格的审查过程来实现，旨在确定最有才华和最有前途的候选人，然后是密集，严格和有效的指导计划。该指导计划是基于建立和多学科指导委员会的最佳运作，该委员会由具有科学专业知识的高级研究员领导，并致力于培养下一代转化型乳腺癌研究人员。多学科指导委员会将由主要指导者和全面指导计划所需的辅助临床和/或基础研究者以及一名统计学家组成。据认为，持续和有力的辅导对获奖者的成功至关重要。这将通过职业发展方案主任对指导过程和获奖者的进展进行密切监督来实现。职业发展计划主任将向SPORE主任报告，SPORE主任则向SPORE执行委员会报告。这种强化监督过程的建立是因为SPORE主任坚信，独立调查人员和转化乳腺癌研究的发展是SPORE使命的核心。明确的期望是，获奖者将利用提供给他们的资源，发展独立的研究计划，并在乳腺癌研究中获得独立的资金。我们每年需要5万美元来支持这个项目。这将得到马约诊所癌症中心50 000美元的补充支持。每年将颁发10万美元的奖金，可用于工资、技术支持和用品。每年将支持一名获奖者，并且如果证明取得了令人满意的进展，特定获奖者最多可以获得两年的支持。到目前为止，该计划已经取得了成功，因为前两名职业发展计划获奖者一直是高效的，并成功地竞争成为项目共同领导人在这个竞争性的续约申请。

The Career Development Program of the Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer SPORE is committed to identifying and mentoring junior faculty with the greatest potential of developing independent programs in translational breast cancer research. This will be accomplished through a rigorous review process aimed at identifying the most talented and promising candidate followed by an intensive, rigorous and effective mentoring program. The mentoring program is based on the establishment and optimal functioning of a Multidisciplinary Mentoring Committee led by a senior investigator with the scientific expertise and commitment to developing the next generation of translational breast cancer researchers. The Multidisciplinary Mentoring Committee will be composed of the primary mentor and the complementary clinical and/or basic investigator necessary for a comprehensive mentoring program plus a statistician. It is viewed as crucial to the success of the awardee that the mentoring be ongoing and robust. This will be accomplished by close oversight by the Director of the Career Development Program of the mentoring process and progress of the awardee. The Director of the Career Development Program will report to the SPORE Director who in turn reports to the SPORE Executive Committee. This intensive oversight process was established because of the firm conviction of the SPORE Director that the development of independent investigators and translational breast cancer research is central to the SPORE mission. The explicit expectation is that the awardees will utilize the resources made available to them for the development of independent research programs and acquisition of independent funding in breast cancer research. We are requesting $50,000 per year to support this program. This will be supplemented by $50,000 of Mayo Clinic Cancer Center support. One award of $100,000 per year will be made, which can be used for salary, technician support, and supplies. One awardee will be supported per year and a given awardee can be supported for up to two years providing satisfactory progress is demonstrated. To date the Program has been successful in that the first two Career Development Program awardees have been highly productive and have successfully competed to become Project Co-Leaders in this competitive renewal application.
