These education and career development experiences will have to provide wide access to multiple scientific disciplines and methodologies, involve mentors from more than one discipline, and will have to be tailored to the individual education and training needs of the investigator. Due to the likely breadth of the science involved, these experiences will frequently have to be facilitated and coordinated across departments, schools, centers and institutions. They should also provide the trainees with the research and communication skills to conduct cancer research in an interdisciplinary and highly collaborative team research setting. This PA will use the NIH R25 mechanism. The total project period for an application submitted may not exceed five years.
