: The ARRA RFA-OD-09-005 provides an opportunity to recruit outstanding scientists to our institution. This application is directed to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) which is specifically focusing its investments to early stage investigators (ESIs) who are either physician-scientists or laboratory-based/quantitative scientists who are committed to a career working with clinician and physician-scientist translational research teams moving observations into clinical applications. Our proposal is to recruit an early-stage PhD scientist with critical expertise to join a stellar group of clinicians and translational scientists many of whom are involved in the UNC-Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Breast and Gl SPOREs and Cancer Genome Atlas group.
The application is relevant to this ARRA RFA in that it describes the recruitment of an early stage investigator who brings specific skills to a translational research team at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
