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, an 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 four years of this award we have provided stipends to nine predoctoral and twelve postdoctoral trainees. Five of nine predoctoral trainees have completed their graduate training and have secured postdoctoral positions in outstanding laboratories in research areas directly related to breast cancer. Five postdoctoral trainees have moved to other institutions and seven remain in training. Publications in highly ranked journals are beginning to result from the research of the BCTP trainees. Though DOD funding for the BCTP is ending, the program will continue and tbe program faculty will seek resources elsewhere to continue student and postdoctoral training in breast cancer research.
