On September 17, 2014, the Cancer Community of Scholars hosted a Cancer Research Symposium for Early Career/Assistant Professors at the Wood Auditorium, UT Medical Center. Sponsored by the Community of Scholars including the University of Tennessee, Knoxville Office of Research and Engagement, the College of Veterinary Medicine, the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine and the University of Tennessee Medical Center Cancer Center of Excellence, the symposium provided an opportunity for early career professors to present their work in progress and receive feedback on new ideas for future projects. It also allowed the assistant professors an opportunity to learn more about an avenue for applying for pilot project funding from a proposed American Cancer Society (ACS) Institutional Research Grant (IRG) proposal.
