The goal of the Career Development Award Program (CDAP) of the Yale SPORE in Skin Cancer is to enhance our capacity to develop a new cadre of investigative cutaneous oncologists and scientists committed to multidisciplinary studies investigating the relevance of biological discoveries in human skin cancer risk, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis or treatment, as well as to enhance and focus the careers of individuals who have already shown interest and promise in this field. Requested funding for this component of the SPORE includes $70,000 per year with $50,000 in "matching" funds from the Yale Cancer Center, to be used for the support of two faculty-level Career Development Awards per year. Funding is for one year, but may be renewed for a second year. Potential candidates for these awards include both promising junior faculty (either already holding appointments at Yale or outside candidates/new recruits for such Yale appointments), but also established Investigators, either currently at Yale or in the process of being recruited to Yale, whose previous research focus has been in other arenas, but who wish to re-orient a significant portion of their research on translational research in cutaneous oncology. All junior faculty awardees are paired with an established investigator in translational cutaneous/ oncology who also has a documented record of successful mentoring. During its initial five-year funding cycle, YSPORE CDAP funds were used to support the career development of 6 different investigators: four investigators (including one woman and one Hispanic) received support for two years each, while two others will have received support for one year each. Individuals supported to date have had diverse backgrounds and previous experience; 2 PhDs, 2 MDs, and 2 MD/PhDs, with experience ranging from an established investigator in melanoma research newly recruited to Yale, to an established basic science investigator refocusing on translational investigation in cutaneous T cell lymphoma, to junior faculty just embarking on investigative careers in biostatistics, melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. A similarly diverse group of outstanding potential future CDAP awardees have been identified for the next funding cycle.

耶鲁 SPORE 皮肤癌职业发展奖计划 (CDAP) 的目标是提高我们培养新骨干皮肤肿瘤学家和科学家的能力，他们致力于多学科研究，调查生物学发现与人类皮肤癌风险的相关性，预防、诊断、预后或治疗，以及加强和集中那些已经对该领域表现出兴趣和前景的个人的职业生涯。 SPORE 的这一部分请求的资金包括每年 70,000 美元，以及耶鲁大学癌症中心提供的 50,000 美元“配套”资金，用于支持每年两个教员级职业发展奖。资助期限为一年，但可以续展第二年。这些奖项的潜在候选人包括有前途的初级教师（已经在耶鲁大学任职或耶鲁大学任命的外部候选人/新聘人员），也包括目前在耶鲁大学或正在被耶鲁大学聘用的既定研究员，他们以前在耶鲁大学任职。研究重点一直在其他领域，但他们希望将其研究的很大一部分重新定位于皮肤肿瘤学的转化研究。所有初级教师获奖者都会与一位在转化皮肤/肿瘤学方面有丰富经验的研究人员配对，该研究人员也拥有成功指导的记录记录。在最初的五年资助周期中，YSPORE CDAP 资金用于支持 6 名不同研究人员的职业发展：四名研究人员（包括一名女性和一名西班牙裔）每人获得两年的支持，而另外两名研究人员将获得一年的支持每年。迄今为止获得支持的个人拥有不同的背景和以往的经验； 2 名博士、2 名医学博士和 2 名医学博士/博士，经验丰富，从耶鲁大学新招募的黑色素瘤研究资深研究员，到重新专注于皮肤 T 细胞淋巴瘤转化研究的资深基础科学研究人员，再到刚刚开始研究的初级教师生物统计学、黑色素瘤和鳞状细胞癌的职业。已经为下一个资助周期确定了同样多样化的未来 CDAP 杰出潜在获奖者群体。
