Career Development Program

职业发展计划（CDP）将支持早期职业乳腺癌研究人员，他们的研究概念集中在乳腺癌的生物学，预防，诊断和治疗上。CDP的目的是帮助发展致力于乳腺癌的年轻研究人员的职业生涯，并希望这些资金将支持获奖者成为独立研究人员的努力。Breast SPORE每年将向CDP指定至少25万美元，其中7.5万美元来自SPORE基金，至少17.5万美元来自机构承诺。 CDP专注于初级教师级别的年轻研究人员。鼓励希望将研究重点转向乳腺癌的更多高级人员申请SPORE发展研究计划奖，而不是CDP，除非他们有资格获得特殊少数民族职业发展奖。职业发展奖的所有申请人都必须在参加SPORE的DF/HCC机构担任教职;博士后奖学金计划中的个人可以申请，如果他们的系主任将保证教师任命年，申请人将获得CDP奖。申请人需要有一封来自教师导师的提名信，并应详细说明指导计划，其中最好包括一个指导委员会。由于需要识别和发展来自少数民族背景的乳腺癌研究人员，我们优先考虑招募少数民族到我们的CDP奖项，并专门为少数民族候选人设立了一个特别奖项。 每年的申请要求将通过电子邮件公布，通过留言板在DF/HCC机构中发布，并在DF/HCC和SPORE共享网站上进行介绍。该公告将描述该奖项的目的，为申请人提供说明，并详细说明审查标准。本节介绍了对导师的要求、审查标准和监测进展的步骤。 CDP在上一届（2000-2010年）为14名教员提供了一年或两年的奖励。所有获奖者目前都是癌症研究人员，大多数人选择将职业生涯集中在乳腺癌上。我们有信心在新的SPORE应用程序中取得更大的成功。

The Career Developmental Program (CDP) will support early career breast cancer researchers, who have research concepts focused on the biology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. The purpose of the CDP is to help develop the careers of young investigators committed to breast cancer, and it is hoped that these funds will support the awardees¿ efforts to become independent researchers. The Breast SPORE will designate a minimum of $250,000 a year to the CDP, $75,000 from SPORE funds and at least $175,000 from institutional commitment. The CDP is focused on young investigators at a junior faculty level. More senior individuals who wish to change their research focus to breast cancer are encouraged to apply for the SPORE Developmental Research Program awards, not the CDP, unless they are eligible for the Special Minority Career Advancement Award. All applicants for the Career Development Awards will be required to have a faculty appointment at a DF/HCC institution participating in the SPORE; individuals in a post-doctoral fellowship program may apply if their Department Chair will guarantee a faculty appointment year should the applicant receives a CDP award. Applicants need to have a nominating letter from a faculty mentor and should detail the mentoring plan, which preferably should include a mentoring committee. Because of the need to identify and develop breast cancer researchers from minority backgrounds, we have prioritized recruitment of minorities to our CDP awards and have also created a special award exclusively for minority candidates. The annual Request for Applications will be announced by e-mail, posted throughout the DF/HCC institutions via message boards and featured on the shared DF/HCC and SPORE website. The announcement will describe the purpose of the award, provide instructions for applicants, and detail the review criteria. The requirements for mentors, review criteria and steps to monitor progress are described in this section. The CDP provided one or two-year awards for 14 faculty members in the last SPORE (2000-2010). All awardees are currently cancer researchers and most have chosen to focus their careers on breast cancer. We are confident that we can surpass this degree of success in this new SPORE application.
