Career Development Program

职业发展计划的目标是为医生和科学家的独立职业做好准备 在肉瘤的临床研究中。我们希望，通过这一进程获得资助的妇女和男子将 花费他们的职业生涯进行转化研究，特别是在这一组疾病， 他们将成为自己感兴趣领域的领导者。纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症中心（MSKCC）是理想的 我很适合这项任务，我有大量的物质和师资资源，以及超过世纪的经验 培养最高质量的医生和科学家。我们的机构环境包括K12， 转化科学培训和K30临床研究者培训。在职业发展中 计划，我们计划加强MSKCC已经存在的正式培训计划。我们将鼓励 更多的医生专注于肉瘤的临床研究，并将同样努力吸引基础科学家 致力于博士后奖学金培训这个快速发展的领域。我们还将提供部分支持， 每2到3年有两名新的初级教师研究员，他们致力于翻译研究， 肉瘤。在我们努力招募这些投资者时，我们将利用MSKCC现有的项目， 招募、培训和指导研究生科学家和医学科学家。我们将预算至少15万美元 每年为这个计划，包括50,000美元的孢子奖本身和至少100,000美元的资金承诺 关于MSKCC为了不断教育学员和SPORE员工，我们将定期安排 会议、SPORE研究项目和核心成员的数据演示以及演示 受邀演讲者职业发展计划将由职业发展委员会指导， 由大卫·斯普里格斯博士和罗伯特·马基博士主持。

The goal of the Career Development Program is to prepare physicians and scienfists for independent careers in translafional research in sarcoma. It is our hope that the women and men funded through this process will spend their professional lifefimes conducfing translational research specifically in this set of diseases and that they will become leaders in their fields of interest. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is ideally suited for this task, with substantial physical and faculty resources and more than a century of experience training physicians and scientists of the highest quality. Our institufional environment includes a K12 for translational science training and a K30 for the training of clinical investigators. In the Career Development Program, we plan to enhance the formal training programs that already exist at MSKCC. We will encourage more physicians to focus on translafional research in sarcoma and will similariy strive to attract basic scientists to devote postdoctoral fellowship training to this quickly evolving field. We will also provide partial support for two new junior faculty investigators every 2 to 3 years who commit their careers to translational research in sarcoma. In our efforts to recruit these invesfigators, we will draw upon existing programs at MSKCC that recruit, train, and mentor postgraduate scientists and physician-scientists. We will budget at least $150,000 yearly for this program, including $50,000 from the SPORE award itself and at least $100,000 in funds pledged by MSKCC. To continually educate both trainees and SPORE staff, we will utilize regulariy scheduled conferences, data presentations by members of the SPORE research projects and cores, and presentafions by invited speakers. The Career Development Program will be directed by a Career Development Committee, chaired by Dr. David Spriggs and Dr. Robert Maki.
