Career development is a particularly important activity for translational research programs. By its verynature, translational research is multidisciplinary. Because of the depth of knowledge required of eachindividual discipline, our present educational structure seldom allows trainees to function in amultidisciplinary environment. This Career Development Awards Program is designed to provide theincentive and structure necessary to bring junior investigators into the multidisciplinary translational researcharena. The key to success of this endeavor is the availability and willingness of mentors throughout DF/HCCto meet the challenges of translational research. This Program will be led by Dr. Monica Bertagnolli,Program Director of the Feinberg Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Co-Pi of the DF/HCC SPORE, and Dr. Robert Mayer, Vice-Chair for Academic Affairs at the Dana-FarberCancer Institute (DFCI) and Director of the DF/PCC Medical Oncology Fellowship. They are joined by acommittee including leaders in the fields of cancer therapeutics (Drs. Chabner and Schnipper), Gl cancersurgery (Drs. Warshaw and Zinner), tumor biology and genetics (Drs. Livingston, Kucherlapati, andPodolsky), cancer epidemiology (Dr. Willett), and women's health and health care disparities (Dr. Bigby).These outstanding senior mentors, representing BWH, MGH, DFCI, and BIDMC, will direct a program thatensure optimal selection, support, and oversight of the Gl SPORE Career Development Awards Program.
