DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH PROGRAM

头颈部癌症孢子支持一项发展研究计划，目标是确定 头颈癌翻译研究的新研究机会，支持其他 未来可能扩展为完整研究项目的有价值的建议，并加强研究 通过增加研究头颈癌的研究人员的数量，减少头颈癌的风险。这个 具体目标是：1)通过向所有可能的人发送征求建议书(RFP)来征求研究建议书 调查人员。RFP将通过电子邮件发送给埃默里大学所有现任和潜在的HNC调查人员， 佐治亚理工学院和佐治亚州医学院。2)确定资助的最佳方案。 申请将由该孢子的PI领导的一个委员会进行审查，该委员会由所有 项目和核心/计划以及与头颈癌相关的不同领域的研究人员， 遵循美国国立卫生研究院的审查标准。3)为最好的项目提供资金并监督其进度。平均5 项目将每年提供资金，进展情况将每年评估两次。

The Head & Neck Cancer SPORE supports a Developmental Research Program with the goals of identifying new research opportunities in translational research of head and neck cancer, supporting additional meritorious proposals that might expand into full research projects in the future, and enhancing the research of head and neck cancer by increasing the number of investigators working on head and neck cancer. The specific aims are: 1) To solicit research proposals by sending a request for proposals (RFP) to all possible investigators. The RFP will be emailed to all current and potential HNC investigators in Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Medical College of Georgia. 2) To identify the best proposals to fund. Applications will be reviewed by a committee led by the PI of this SPORE and comprised of leaders of all projects and cores/programs as well as investigators in different fields related to head and neck cancer, following the NIH review criteria. 3) To fund the best projects and monitor their progress. On average 5 projects will be funded annually, and progress will be evaluated twice a year.
