SPOREsBreastDevelopmental ResearchCareer Development
The purpose of Career Development Awards is to attract basic, translational, and clinical investigators into breast cancer research; provide them with information about human breast cancer; mentor them in their chosen career pathways, and integrate them into the translational mission of the SPORE.
Awards are distributed based on a process of nomination, application, and committee review. On occasion, the Principal Investigator may recommend appointment (e.g., if funds become available off-schedule).
The nominating process is intended to ensure the day-to-day presence of a mentor for award recipients; however, senior faculty are eligible to apply if they are not members of the DF/HCC Breast Program but seek association with the SPORE and have a promising project that would benefit from SPORE membership.
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. Award recipients attend SPORE functions, use SPORE Cores, and meet with the SPORE’s Principal Investigator on a regular basis.
