Research Abstract
Dr. Hollenbeck is committed to being a force-multiplier in the field by catalyzing the scientific and professional trajectories of colleagues and learners. His lab has been continuously funded since 2007 and has served as a substrate for learners to pursue their own avenues of discovery. He is supported by R01s from the NCI, AHRQ and NIA and a Research Scholar Grant from the American Cancer Society. His research focuses on how financial incentives influence physician behavior and affect the quality of care, particularly with respect to prostate cancer.
Dr. Hollenbeck has served or serves as primary research mentor for 4 predoctoral students and 22 postdoctoral fellows and faculty. While measures of academic success, including extramural funding and scholarship, are tangible and imperative, they are a byproduct of his most important contribution of inspiring others to sustain impactful careers in science and cancer-related research. Among his mentees, 10 have successfully competed for career development awards and 8 have secured independent (R01 or similar) funding. Currently, 7 of his mentees serve as PI of 13 active R01s and one research-focused training award.
