Overview
The goal of the Career Development Program of the UAB Breast SPORE is to recruit basic and clinical investigators who are early in their career for pursuit of translational breast cancer research. A program is proposed in which young investigators who have recently completed postdoctoral training or subspecialty training assume a junior faculty position in an appropriate basic science or clinical department and are incorporated into the ongoing research efforts of one of the UAB Breast SPORE's major projects under the supervision of an experienced mentor. Hence, the awardee will be exposed to and participate in the interdisciplinary and translational research emphasis of the UAB Breast SPORE. Less commonly, the recipient may be an individual at the Assistant or Associate Professor level with a successful research record, who wishes to alter his/her career path to translational research. During the time span of the award, the awardee will seek other career development awards and grant support so that he/she can establish an independent research effort, thereby expanding the UAB Breast SPORE translational research effort.
