Early career faculty rarely get invited to participate in leadership-related activities within cancer center. Through this experience, early career faculty will learn about the external advisory board (EAB) process and be prepared to enter in to leadership opportunities related to cancer centers and cancer research in the future.

This opportunity is designed for future leaders who represent groups underrepresented in biomedical science and in cancer center leadership positions across the country.

Benefits

Early career Cancer Center faculty will learn about the Cancer Center review processes through participation in the UVMCC External Advisory Board annual meeting. Faculty selected for participation will participate as program reviewers with assignments based on their individual qualifications.

Eligibility

Early career faculty who are members of an AACI cancer center and who represent groups underrepresented in biomedical science or in national cancer center leadership (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, first generation college, women) are eligible for participation.

Commitment

The EAB fall meeting will be held at the UVM campus in Burlington, Vt. Selected faculty will participate as program reviewers with assignments based on their individual qualifications.

Applications are now closed.
