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.

任何一奋进领域的健康状况在很大程度上都是由其成员对培养年轻研究人员的承诺来衡量的。性传播疾病领域也不例外，组成性传播疾病预防和局部杀微生物剂合作研究中心的研究人员已经培养了新一代的性传播疾病研究人员，他们已经成长为杰出的独立研究人员。 自1991年STD CRC成立以来，华盛顿大学一直在积极开展发展奖励计划，支持22名新的研究人员。其中，19人（86%）目前持有教师（或同等学历）的任命，并继续在性病研究工作; 14人（64%）担任主要研究者的研究赠款金，包括NIH资助的R 01的，P01的，和K奖;其他大多数是共同研究者。在其他性病-儿童权利中心，发展基金的接受者也取得了类似的成功。 新的STI-TM CRC将有一个单一的发展奖励计划服务于性病社区。这代表了对年轻研究人员的发展的重要和广泛的承诺，以取代我们这些秃顶或白发（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发展奖励计划的行政中心。华盛顿大学已经建立了发展奖励计划的行政框架，主任在指导此类计划方面具有多年的经验。与竞争性STI-TM的主要研究者协商制定的拟议计划 CRC每年将资助四个发展奖，重点是年轻的研究人员谁是在从奖学金过渡到教师地位的关键时期，并正在收集所需的数据，成功地竞争他们的第一个独立的赠款。为了优化该计划的成功，这些奖项将是指导奖，类似于NIH K奖，以便在颁奖期间解决职业发展的各个方面。从STI-TM CRC和外部研究中心征集的申请将由STI-TM CRC执行委员会审查，并由该委员会监测进展情况。
