Success in cancer research and research-related fields requires
a solid background in a specific discipline in addition to extensive
practical experience. However, for individuals to develop into accomplished
professionals, a wide range of professional development skills are
also needed. These skills include the ability to select an appropriate
mentor(s), to present your scientific accomplishments at national
and international meetings, to publish research articles and obtain
grant funding, to interview for jobs, to obtain and keep a job,
to manage both your professional and personal life, to manage stress
and time, and to behave responsibly.
This section of our web is devoted to the above topics as well
as other RESOURCES offered by CMBB, NCI, NIH and other professional
groups who are interested in increasing the number of competitive
minority individuals and institutions participating in the cancer
research enterprise.
