Available Opportunities and Resources

Short courses offered by NCI Awardee Skills Development Consortium (NASDC)

The goal of NASDC is to provide opportunities for current NCI K01, K07, K08, K22, K23, K25, R00, R21, or first R01-equivalent grantees (R01-equivalent grants are defined as activity codes DP1, DP2, DP5, R01, R23, R29, R37, R56, RF1, RL1, U01) who are also junior faculty (e.g., assistant professors, instructors, research scientists, or equivalent) to participate in educational opportunities that will enhance their skills in areas that are not traditionally part of research training programs, but are critical for maintaining successful, long-term, academic research careers. The areas initially identified include: cutting-edge techniques in cancer research and leadership, mentorship, coping and networking/collaboration skills. NASDC is funded by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health, through Cooperative Agreements and offered at no cost to participants.
