CORE--DEVELOPMENTAL

华盛顿大学艾滋病研究中心（CFAR）的主要目标是发展 核心是支持感兴趣的年轻科学家的职业发展， 各种学科的研究事业对艾滋病毒/艾滋病提供 研究支援（新研究者奖）。第二个目标是 在重要的新研究中为艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究提供初步支持 新兴机会赠款[OG]。第三个目标是提高 调查人员之间的沟通，促进合作， 在华盛顿大学及其附属机构进行艾滋病毒/艾滋病的跨学科研究 机构，通过支持CFAR系列研讨会和访问教授 程序.其他目标是授予试点赠款， 合作，跨学科的研究;并提供学员支持 用于艾滋病毒研究相关活动（培训人员支助赠款），因为资金 available.这些活动将由一个多学科的 发展核心委员会，由具有专业知识的资深科学家组成 在艾滋病毒/艾滋病临床研究、基础科学、行为科学和 公共卫生这四类病房将在竞争激烈的 根据申请人从华盛顿大学及其附属机构（和 夏威夷大学国家情报机构），经联邦武装部队和难民署一个委员会审查后 研究者，遵循预先规定的标准，使用NIH类型的审查 评分系统。明确的政策和程序，为每种类型的核心 奖励和活动，包括资格标准、甄选标准， 审查委员会成员资格和具体的可衡量成果， 介绍了将鼓励少数民族调查员的申请。 例如，NIA将提供3名年轻科学家（高级博士后 研究员或初级教员）尚未担任主要研究者 在NIH R 01赠款30 - 40000美元，每年为期2年，以发展 数据，以提高后续外源资金的可能性。选择 候选人的选择将基于拟议调查的优点， 研究者的资质和学术潜力， 研究对艾滋病毒/艾滋病领域的贡献，以及与华盛顿大学的相关性 CFAR主题NIA的接受者将有一名CFAR顾问。的接受者 NIA、EOG和试点赠款将提交书面进度报告， 每年参加三次CFAR研讨会之一，这将有助于 为CFAR赞助的研究提供一个论坛。三个CFAR访问 每年教授，具有艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究各个领域的专门知识， 将在CFAR研讨会上发表演讲，并在 与NIA获奖者、学员和CFAR进行密切的小组互动 investigators.

The major goal of the UW Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Developmental Core is to support career development of interested young scientists from a variety of disciplines into research careers on HIV/AIDS by providing research support (New Investigator Awards [NIAs]. The second goal is to provide initial support for HIV/AIDS research in important new research areas (Emerging Opportunity Grants[OGs]. The third goal is to enhance communication among investigators and foster collaborative, interdisciplinary research on HIV/AIDS at UW and its affiliated institutions, by supporting a CFAR Seminar Series and Visiting Professors Program. Additional goals are to award Pilot Grants, to foster collaborative, interdisciplinary research; and provide trainees support for HIV research-related activities (Trainee Support Grants), as funds are available. These activities will be organized by a multi-disciplinary Developmental Core Committee, composed of senior scientists with expertise in HIV/AIDS clinical investigation, basic science, behavioral science, and public health. The four types of wards will be awarded on a competitive basis to applicants from UW and its affiliated institutions (and University of Hawaii for NIAs), after review by a committee of CFAR investigators, following pre-specified criteria, using a NIH-type review and scoring system. Explicit policies and procedures for each type of Core award and activity, including eligibility criteria, selection criteria, review committee membership, and specific measurable outcomes are described. Applications from minority investigators will be encouraged. For example, NIAs will provide 3 young scientists (senior postdoctoral fellows or junior faculty) who have not yet been principal investigators on a NIH R01 grant $30-40,000 per year for a 2-year period, to develop data to enhance the likelihood of subsequent exogenous funding. Selection of candidates will be based on merit of the proposed investigation, qualifications and academic potential of the investigator, potential contribution of the research to the HIV/AIDS field, and relevance to UW CFAR themes. Recipients of NIAs will have a CFAR advisor. Recipients of NIAs, EOGs and Pilot Grants will submit written progress reports and will present at one of the three CFAR Seminars per year, which will be help provide a forum for CFAR-sponsored research. Three CFAR Visiting Professors per year, with expertise in various areas of HIV/AIDS research, will make presentations at the CFAR Seminars and spend one day each in close, small group interactions with NIA awardees, trainees, and CFAR investigators.
