Ovarian Cancer Training Program at the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center
Abstract
This Award funded the initiation of a mentored research experience in ovarian cancer biology at the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. The primary aims, articulated in the Statement of Work, included creating a mechanism to identify and select outstanding postdoctoral fellows who had a commitment to serous multi-year experience in research that was directly related to a topic in or immediately applicable to ovarian cancer. The second aim was to provide a mentored experience for selected fellows. The third aim specified the delivery of feedback to the trainees by mentors and the program PI. The final aim described a rigorous review process for the program. These aims are all being addressed. The program has selected 3 talented senior post doctoral fellows who are all assigned to work with Professors at Harvard Medical School in the fields of Medicine/Oncogenesis, Surgery/Signal transduction, and Cell Biology/Signal transduction. These fellows conduct their research at 3 different institutions within the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. All the fellows are productive in their research and one has already successfully competed for a faculty development grant. Formal review of the program is planned latter this spring as is the second round of competition for fellows.
