## Abstract

ABSTRACT – CANCER RESEARCH CAREER ENHANCEMENT AND RELATED ACTIVITIES
The Lurie Cancer Center (LCC) provides a comprehensive training environment to enhance the career
development of cancer researchers and caregivers at all levels. Education and training at the LCC is led by Dr.
John Crispino, Associate Director for Education and Training since 2012, with support of several faculty and LCC
staff. The combination of substantial NIH training grant funding and dedicated philanthropic support enables
numerous training opportunities for students, research fellows, clinical fellows, oncology nurses, and junior
faculty. These include numerous seminar series, symposia, retreats, intramural grants, and travel awards. The
LCC manages five NCI T32 grants, and trainees are further supported by four other cancer relevant T32 grants
and two K12 grants. New to this cycle are a formal mentorship program for clinical trainees and the Translational
Bridge Initiative, which provides combined laboratory and clinical mentor oversight for selected post-doctoral
fellows. In addition, there are LCC-sponsored education opportunities for health care professionals and
oncologists in the Chicago area, nationally and internationally. Over the next funding period the LCC will continue
to expand the ongoing activities, optimize training for precision medicine and other emerging fields and intensify
efforts to increase the diversity of our trainees.
