MENTORSHIP, EDUCATION AND TRAINING (MET) APPLICATION

The Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (CFCCC) Cancer Research Training & Education Coordination (CRTEC) sponsors the Mentorship, Education and Training (MET) Program. The CFCCC MET Program is a year-long mentoring program designed to engage the expertise of senior CFCCC members with the goal of supporting junior and mid-career CFCCC faculty (basic, clinical, and population science) and to catalyze strategies for overcoming career and scientific challenges.

Each MET participant (mentee) kicks off their experience by presenting a brief overview of their research program, including identifying any challenges they have encountered, to a panel of 3-5 senior CFCCC investigators. These experts provide structured guidance on next steps, available resources, and help facilitate collaborations for the mentee.

The mentee is then paired with a primary mentor who continues to meet with them for 12 months and serves as a thought-partner for challenges along the way. The MET experience culminates at the CFCCC Annual Scientific Retreat (held at the end of September), in which the mentee presents the outcomes and accomplishments of their experience as part of the retreat agenda.

If you are interested in the MET program, please complete the application below by Tuesday, August 15th, 2023. For questions, please email Kimberly Castellanos at kecastel@hs.uci.edu.
