Career Enhancement Core
The overall goal of the Career Enhancement Core is to provide a broad range of research-related activities that will build and improve research expertise in Tobacco Regulatory Science (TRS). The focus is on supporting project teams, raising awareness of TRS at the University of Rochester and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (Roswell Park), growing the number of TRS researchers, and engaging with investigators at other NIH/FDA Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS). We will use traditional and innovative approaches to address the following aims:
1) Create competency-based approaches and case studies for TRS career enhancement.
2) Provide collaborative pilot projects and other supervised TRS research experiences.
3) Provide flexible career enhancement resources to enhance TRS learning and research capacity.
4) Foster collaborative networks among TCORS investigators nationally.
Career enhancement activities will include mentored pilot projects, webinars and career stories by current investigators, an annual student TRS competition, virtual lab tours, independent studies, internship and exchange programs, and infusion of TRS content into existing curricula, seminars, and trainee and mentor development programs.
