## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY 
The Investigators assembled in the DF/HCC Myeloma SPORE have a substantial long-term record in 
mentorship and development of junior faculty working in translational myeloma research. The goal of the 
Career Enhancement Program of our Myeloma SPORE is to build upon this record and establish a formal 
process for the identification, selection, funding, and mentoring of individuals pursuing careers in the study of 
the basic and clinical aspects of myeloma. These awards will facilitate the development of physicians, 
physician scientists, clinical investigators, and scientists in training within the Myeloma SPORE Program 
towards faculty status. Thus, candidates will be junior faculty or fellows and postdoctoral fellows within the 
various training programs across DF/HCC and participating institution. Our Career Enhancement Program has 
been extremely successful in the previous funding period, with three investigators now having independent 
funding and eight have attained independent faculty positions and promotions as a direct result of this 
Program. It is our goal to continue to attract, mentor, and assure the success of several candidates within the 
timeframe of this SPORE. Success will be defined as the development of physician/scientists in training 
towards careers as independent investigators.
