The health of any field of endeavor is measured in large part by the commitment of its members to nurturing the development of young investigators. The STD field is no exception, and the investigators who comprise the Sexually Transmitted Infections-Topical Microbicide Cooperative Research Centers have trained a new generation of STD investigators who have matured into outstanding, independent researchers. The University of Washington has had an active Developmental Awards Program since the inception of the STD CRC's in 1991, supporting 22 new investigators. Of these, 19 (86%) currently hold faculty (or equivalent) appointments and continue to work in STD research; 14 (64%) serve as principal investigators on research grants, including NIH-funded R01 's, P01's, and K awards; most of the others are co-investigators. Recipients of developmental funds at other STD-CRC sites have demonstrated similar success. The new STI-TM CRC's will have a single Developmental Awards Program serving the STD community. This represents an important and broad commitment to the development of young investigators to take the place of those of us who are balding or graying (or both). This application proposes that the University of Washington serve as the administrative center for the new STI-TM CRC Developmental Awards Program. The administrative framework for a Developmental Awards Program is already in place at the University of Washington, and the Director has many years of experience in the direction of such a program. The proposed program, developed in consultation with the Principal Investigators of the competing STI-TM CRC's, will fund four Developmental Awards per year, focusing on young investigators who are in the critical period of transition from fellowship to faculty status and are collecting data required to compete successfully for their first independent grant. To optimize the success of the program, these awards will be mentored awards, similar to the NIH K awards, so that all aspects of career development will be addressed during the award period. Applications, solicited from both STI-TM CRC and external research sites, will be reviewed by the STI-TM CRC Executive Committee, and progress will be monitored by this committee.

任何努力领域的健康状况在很大程度上是由其成员对培养年轻研究人员发展的承诺来衡量的。性病领域也不例外，由性传播感染-局部杀微生物剂合作研究中心组成的调查人员培养了新一代性病调查人员，他们已经成熟为杰出的独立研究人员。 自1991年STD CRC成立以来，华盛顿大学一直有一个积极的发展奖计划，支持22名新的研究人员。在这些人中，19人(86%)目前担任教职(或同等职位)并继续从事性病研究；14人(%)担任研究补助金的首席研究员，包括NIH资助的R01‘S、P01’S和K奖；其他大多数人是联合研究员。其他STD-CRC网站的发展基金接受者也证明了类似的成功。 新的STI-TM CRC将有一个单一的发展奖计划，为性病社区服务。这代表着对培养年轻调查人员的重要和广泛的承诺，以取代我们中那些秃顶或白发(或两者兼而有之)的人。本申请建议华盛顿大学作为新的STI-TM CRC发展奖计划的行政中心。华盛顿大学已经建立了发展奖方案的行政框架，主任在指导这一方案方面拥有多年经验。拟议的计划，是与竞争的STI-TM的首席调查人员协商制定的 CRC将每年资助四个发展奖，重点是年轻的研究人员，他们正处于从研究员身份向教员身份过渡的关键时期，并正在收集成功竞争他们第一笔独立拨款所需的数据。为了优化项目的成功，这些奖项将是导师奖，类似于NIH K奖，因此在颁奖期间将涉及职业发展的方方面面。从STI-TM CRC和外部研究站点征集的申请将由STI-TM CRC执行委员会审查，并由该委员会监测进展情况。
