Inter-Center Training Opportunities & Collaborative Visits
for Junior Investigators
Program Description
This program supports a one to six week visit of Integrative Cancer Biology Program (ICBP) or Tumor Microenvironment Network (TMEN) - associated junior investigator to a “host” ICBP or TMEN Center. The purpose of the visit would provide junior investigators opportunities to master and exchange techniques and/or analyze series of samples, tasks that could not otherwise carried out in their “home” laboratory setting. Further, the collaborative visits would provide a cross-fertilization of ideas pertaining to the multi and diverse disciplines which comprise the field of integrative cancer biology (e.g., cancer biology, computational modeling, data integration and mathematics) or are pertinent to tumor microenvironment (e.g., mechanisms of tumor-stroma interactions, composition of the stroma in normal tissues and the role in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis.
This program will enble junior investigators to gain a broader understanding and appreciation of major questions currently under investigation as well as novel approaches being used within the ICBP and TMEN Centers.
Proposal and Application Submissions
Proposals and applications may be submitted anytime during the year. The review process will occur in a timely manner.
