The future development and dissemination of molecular imaging research depends on the availabilityof scientists who are well grounded not only in their basic discipline, but also in translational aspectsof cancer research. The overall goal of the Career Development Program of this P50 has been toprovide broad multidisciplinary training for two junior investigators per year who have an outstandingacademic track record and who wish to change research directions and/or who need additional timein a productive scientific environment to establish an independent research program. The programemphasizes the education of basic (PhD) and clinical (MD or MD/PhD) scientists in the principles andapplications of molecular imaging techniques to answer basic science or clinical questions through invivo imaging. The program consists of multidisciplinary training by senior preceptors, didactic lecturesindividual research projects and design of hypothesis driven research, publication and grant writing.
The specific aims of the Program are:1. Recruit two outstanding junior faculty per year from a larger applicant pool2. Provide broad training and research support to the above individuals3. Promote excellence in science and medicine
