Breast Cancer Training Program
Abstract
The Breast Cancer Training Program (BCTP) in the Eppley Cancer Institute of the University of Nebraska Medical Center offers predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees a comprehensive training environment in breast cancer by supporting, in part, and outstanding breast cancer seminar program, a short course in cancer biology, a breast cancer focus group and by providing stipend support to trainees performing research that is highly relevant to breast cancer. In the first three years of this award, we have provided stipends to seven predoctoral and nine postdoctoral trainees. Four of the seven of the predoctoral trainees have completed their graduate training and have secured postdoctoral positions in outstanding laboratories in research areas directly related to breast cancer. Four of the postdoctoral trainees have obtained new positions, one is pursuing additional educational training and four remain in training. Publications in highly ranked journals are beginning to result from the research of the BCTP trainees. We are currently evaluating a large group of highly qualified applicants for support in year four.
