N1 - Funding Information: There are additional factors that may negatively impact those physicians who derive the most meaning from research and education. In recent years, funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that supports cancer research has declined [56] . It is increasingly challenging for translational scientists to secure funding and protected time for research, and this leads to the need for research during ‘personal time’. Faculty who value education have experienced changes in the structure of training programs, leaving less time (and diminished value) for academic pursuits such as teaching [49] . Challenges to career fit also include changing interests and career drift that can develop over time [43,50] .
