The Career Development Component of the Emory Molecular and Translational Imaging Center(EMTIC) is designed to provide systematic, interdisciplinary, and in-depth training to academicphysician-scientists, clinician-investigators, and laboratory-based scientists who wish to dedicatetheir efforts to in vivo cellular and molecular imaging (ICMI) research in cancer for developing theirresearch career in this area. The trainees could be young investigators who are at the beginningstage of their career or established investigators who would like to move into ICMI of cancer. We planto enroll 1 trainee per year and train each trainee for 2 years. In the training period, trainees will have50% salary coverage through the EMTIC to have protected time for career development. The trainingprogram will be administered by a Career Development Steering Committee and supported by astrong educational and research environment and a productive, interdisciplinary mentoring team.Interdisciplinary by design, our training will include 3 major areas: imaging methodology, biology, andclinical application. Specific training will include didactic coursework, seminars, clinical rotation,mentored research and NIH grant writing. The overall goal of our proposed Career DevelopmentProgram is to provide trainees with an interdisciplinary background and integrated researchexperience to prepare them for successful research careers in ICMI.
