Career Development Program

I.目标和概述 职业发展奖励计划的目标是吸引基础，翻译和临床 研究人员进入皮肤癌研究，为他们提供有关人类皮肤癌的信息，导师 他们在他们选择的职业道路，并整合收件人到翻译使命的孢子。 BWH皮肤癌孢子内的许多研究人员有长期的兴趣和大量的跟踪 指导和发展初级教师的记录。该计划为以下方面建立了正式程序： 识别、选择、资助和指导寻求从事皮肤癌职业的年轻研究人员 research. 职业发展计划每年将获得10万美元的资金，其中5.5万美元将从 美国国立卫生研究院在这个竞争性的更新应用程序，和45,000美元来自机构的支持。目的是 每年资助一至两名获奖者。个人获奖者可以在一年或多年内获得资金 年，满足他们的需求。该奖项的候选人可以在几个级别的培训：高级 博士后研究员在三年内进入教师地位和教师级别的初级教师， 完成他们的培训谁有兴趣追求假设驱动的研究。典型的申请人是 初级教员，具有强大的研究计划，在指导环境中有一个安全的位置， 需要资金作为独立的桥梁。还考虑到已建立的调查人员 将研究重点转移到皮肤癌上提名、申请和委员会的过程 一般采用评审的方式进行奖项的分配。有时，主要研究者可能会建议 预约（例如，如果资金在计划外可用）。提名程序的目的 （高级教师推荐初级教师）是为了确保每天都有一位导师出席颁奖典礼 受惠人士高级教师有资格申请，如果他们不是黑色素瘤和皮肤 丹娜-法伯哈佛癌症中心（DFHCC）的肿瘤学项目，寻求与SPORE的联系 并有一个有前途的项目，将受益于孢子成员。实际上，获奖者 应该参加孢子功能，使用孢子核心，并定期与Kupper博士会面。

I. GOALS AND OVERVIEW The goal of the Career Development Award Program is to attract basic, translational and clinical investigators into skin cancer research, to provide them with information about human skin cancer, mentor them in their chosen career pathways, and integrate the recipients into the translational mission of the SPORE. Many investigators within the BWH Skin Cancer SPORE have longstanding interest and a substantial track record of mentoring and developing of junior faculty. This Program establishes a formal process for the identification, selection, funding and mentoring of young investigators seeking to pursue careers in Skin cancer research. The Career Development Program will be funded at $100,000 per year, with $55,000 being requested from the NIH in this competitive renewal application, and $45,000 deriving from institutional support. The intent is to fund one or two awardees per year. Individual awardees may receive funds over a single year or multiple years as fits their needs. Candidates for this award can be at several levels of training: senior level postdoctoral fellows who are moving into faculty status and instructor level junior faculty within three years of completing their training who are interested in pursuing hypothesis-driven research. The typical applicant is a junior faculty member with a strong program of research, a secure position in a mentoring environment, and the need for funding as a bridge to independence. Consideration is also given to established investigators interested in shifting their research focus to skin cancer. A process of nomination, application and committee review will generally be used to distribute the awards. On occasion, the Principal Investigator may recommend appointment (for instance if funds become available off-schedule). The purpose of the nominating process (senior faculty recommending junior faculty) is to assure the day-to-day presence of a mentor for the award recipients. Senior faculty are eligible to apply if they are not members of the Melanoma and Cutaneous Oncology Program in the Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center (DFHCC), seek association with the SPORE and have a promising project that would benefit from SPORE membership. In practice, award recipients should attend SPORE functions, use SPORE Cores, and meet with Dr. Kupper on a regular basis.
