Rethink’s research program is aimed specifically at young scientists who show special promise in breast cancer research. It’s an extremely competitive grant as we are looking for that really special young researcher who has shown creativity and productivity early in his or her career.
Rethink’s Career Development Award is a “mentored award,” which means the recipient is a Trainee working in an established lab under the guidance of his or her Supervisor. When reviewing applications, our Rethink Research Council looks closely at the Supervisor’s CV and credentials as well as the quality and productivity of the lab environment. The Research Council also evaluates the “Integration and Independence” of the Trainee’s project They both examine both how it is an independent project that the Trainee is leading and how the Trainee’s project is integrated into the overall work being done in their Mentor’s lab. As well, the mentor must explain how the project will cultivate the Trainee’s independence.
Our hope is that by enabling Trainees to largely take control of their own project’s research plan, budget and resource allocation, they will emerge from Rethink’s fellowship competitively poised to apply for larger grants and establish their own breast cancer research programs, and, Rethink hopes, to ultimately make a significant contribution in breast cancer research!
Rethink’s Career Development Award is an excellent way to steer scientists early in their careers, including clinicians, into breast cancer research. We must keep supporting upcoming researchers who show productivity and creativity if we are to continue to make progress in the fight against breast cancer in Canada. These mentored awards enable us to attract the most promising talent available.
We are really excited to announce our latest Rethink Career Development Award Recipient, Dr. Maggie Chon U Cheang (pictured above). Our Review Council describes Maggie as “perfectly poised to be a rising superstar,” and is confident that she has a really exciting research future ahead of her.
