By combining SPORE and institutional funds, the SPORE’s Career Enhancement Program funds up to two investigators per year, with one being a woman and/or URM awardee. The program’s new two-tiered review process ensures that the projects qualify as translational, are scientifically feasible and appropriately powered to achieve their stated aims, include a qualified mentor, and are appropriately budgeted. Each of the three Career Enhancement Program Co-Directors represents a different career stage and each has personally received funding from a SPORE career enhancement and/or developmental research program.
