Core--Developmental Funds

Karmanos癌症研究所（KCI）要求获得年度发展基金的支持，以允许(1)招募新的基础和转化研究人员，(2)支持跨越多个研究领域的创新项目，(3)支持新的共享资源。根据外部咨询委员会和中心高层领导的建议，KCrs的发展基金（在上一个周期中非ccsg）被用于增强当前科学项目的优势，并提高共享资源的利用率。发展基金对于利用韦恩州立大学主要利益相关者和底特律慈善家的支持至关重要。该研究所将重新启动其非常成功的虚拟发现资助计划，以激励具有高潜力的提案继续发展

The Karmanos Cancer Institute (KCI) requests support in annual Developmental Funds to allow (1) recruitment of new basic and translational investigators, (2) support for innovative projects that bridge several areas of research and (3) support for new shared resources. KCrs developmental funds (non-CCSG in the past cycle) have been used in response to the advice of the External Advisory Board, and the senior leadership of the Center, to enhance the strengths of the current scientific programs and to increase utilization of the Shared Resources. The Developmental Funds are critical to leverage the support of key Wayne State University stakeholders and Detroit philanthropists. The Institute will re-start its very successful Virtual Discovery Grant program in order to stimulate proposals that have a high potential to go on to program project or SPORE funding proposals. As the Population Studies and Prevention Program continues its new emphasis on communication between and among patients, family members, physicians and communities (under the direction of Dr. Terrance Albrecht) it is critical that a new shared resource be developed that can support the unique technical requirements of these trials. A Behavioral and Field Research Core is currently under development in response to this need.
