| Description: | The OCRP Ovarian Cancer Academy, which was initially created in FY09, is intended to be a unique, interactive virtual academy providing intensive mentoring, national networking, and a peer group for junior faculty. The overarching goal of the Ovarian Cancer Academy is to develop successful, highly productive ovarian cancer researchers in a collaborative research training environment. The Ovarian Cancer Academy is a virtual career development and research training platform that currently consists of 11 Early-Career Investigator/Designated Mentor pairs from different institutions and 1 Academy Dean; 3 additional Early-Career Investigator/Designated Mentor pairs and the new Academy Leadership (Dean and Assistant Dean) are pending awards. In addition, three to four Early-Career Investigators are expected to graduate from the Academy in the summer of 2015, but may remain associated with the Academy via the FY14 Ovarian Cancer Academy Collaborative Award. Information about the Academy is available in the FY12, FY13, and FY14 Ovarian Cancer Program Booklets at http://cdmrp.army.mil/ocrp/pbks/pbks.shtml. The Academy Leadership serves as a resource for the Early-Career Investigators and Mentors, assessing the progress of the Early-Career Investigators, and facilitating communication and collaboration among all of the Early-Career Investigators and Mentors, as well as with national research and advocacy communities. |
