Career Development Program

由于进入该领域的新研究人员很少，前列腺癌的研究受到了极大的阻碍。认识到在转化型前列腺癌研究领域帮助建立独立资助的研究人员的必要性，UM前列腺癌孢子每年资助两到三名初级教员。职业发展计划(CDP)的重点是为调查人员提供资源，为后续的NIH投资回报拨款申请生成初步数据。密歇根州立大学前列腺分生孢子每年承诺为每位研究人员提供7万美元。职业发展奖获得者的资助期限最长为两年，并接受年度审查。获奖者的部门每年还提供10,000美元的等额资金。调查人员中的许多人都不在前列腺癌领域，他们每季度都会与库尼和罗宾斯医生会面，他们的行为 分别作为临床资源和基础科学导师。一名前CDP调查员。库尼博士是一位 内科和泌尿科预约的肿瘤内科医生。库尼博士是

Prostate cancer research has been greatly hindered by the paucity of new investigators entering into the field. In recognition of the need to help establish independently funded investigators in the field of translational prostate cancer research, the UM Prostate SPORE has supported two to three junior faculty per year. The focus of the Career Development Program (CDP) is to provide investigators the resources to generate preliminary data for subsequent NIH ROI grant applications. The UM Prostate SPORE commits $70,000 annually per investigator. Career Development awardees are funded for a maximum of two years, subject to annual review. The awardees' departments supply another $10,000 per year in matching funds. Investigators, many of whom are outside the field of prostate cancer, meet quarterly with Drs. Cooney and Robins who act as clinical resource and basic science mentors, respectively. A former CDP investigator. Dr. Cooney is a medical oncologist with appointments in internal medicine and urology. Dr. Cooney is the
