在过去的预算期间，伯明翰CFAR在新的发展中发挥了重要作用。 在UAB的基础和临床艾滋病研究的方案领域。在比阿特丽斯博士的指导下 哈恩，发展核心将： 1.组织和促进一个有竞争力的艾滋病研究发展资助计划，重点是初级艾滋病研究。 研究人员和多学科的互动。 2.指导年轻的艾滋病研究人员。 3.从其他机构招募高素质的艾滋病科学家。 发展补助金Pro.qram：发展资金（522，875美元）用于竞争性地资助10个新的 研究者奖，8个试点项目和7个多学科项目。这些是从总共 向CFAR发展赠款方案提交了59份申请。编写的申请 根据NIH指南，由内部审查委员会审查，并完全基于科学 功在25份竞争性申请中，16份随后提交给了国家供资机构， 12人获得校外资助，总费用超过1 200万美元（3份申请正在准备中， 2项申请仍待审查）。在34项未获得资金的提案中，6项提交给了备选方案， 其中五个机构获得的校外资金超过200万美元。发育 因此，赠款计划在促进新的和具有国家竞争力的 研究工作。 招聘：发展资金（120 000美元）用于协助招聘3名新教师：（1） Jalie Tucker博士M.P.H.来自奥本大学，他是一名高级研究员， 药物滥用;（2）Patricia Lee，Ph.D.，她最近完成了多尔奇尼博士的博士后培训 和卡塔尼亚在加州大学旧金山分校加州艾滋病毒和性病预防培训中心和艾滋病研究中心; 和（3）Allan Zajac，Ph.D.他最近在埃默里大学完成了Raft Ahmed的博士后培训， 大学Tucker和Lee博士在CFAR内扩大了预防科学计划，而Zajac博士 在微生物学中贡献了T细胞免疫研究的新专业知识。为了继续这些发展 努力，要求资金支持优秀的发展奖申请-重点是 支持初级调查员和促进方案项目发展-150 000美元。 将像过去一样征求、审查和资助申请。此外， 请批40 000美元，以进一步协助征聘优秀的外部调查员， 艾滋病的努力。这些招聘资金将与该中心可用的国家资金一对一匹配。

During the past budget period, the Birmingham CFAR has played a major role in the development of new programmatic areas both in basic and clinical AIDS research at UAB. Under the direction of Dr. Beatrice Hahn, the Developmental Core will: 1. Organize and foster a competitive Developmental Grant Program in AIDS research that focuses on junior investigators and multidisciplinary interactions. 2. Mentor young investigators in AIDS research. 3. Recruit high caliber AIDS scientists from other institutions. Developmental Grant Pro.qram: Developmental moneys ($522,875) were used to competitively fund 10 New Investigator Awards, 8 Pilot Projects, and 7 Multidisciplinary Programs. These were selected from a total of 59 applications submitted to the CFAR Developmental Grant Program. Applications were prepared according to NIH guidelines, reviewed by an internal review committee, and funded solely based on scientific merit. Of the 25 competitive applications, 16 were subsequently submitted to national funding agencies, and 12 received extramural funding with Total Costs exceeding $12 million (3 applications are in preparation and 2 applications are still pending review). Of the 34 non-funded proposals, 6 were submitted to alternative funding agencies, and five of these received extramural funds exceeding $2 million. The Developmental grant program has thus been extremely successful in facilitating new as well as nationally competitive research efforts. Recruitment: Developmental moneys ($120,000) were used to assist in the recruitment of 3 new faculty: (1) Jalie Tucker, Ph.D., M.P.H. from Auburn University who is a senior investigator with expertise related to substance abuse; (2) Patricia Lee, Ph.D., who recently completed her post-doctoral training with Drs. Dolcini and Catania at the UCSF California HIV & STD Prevention Training Center and the Center for AIDS Studies; and (3) Allan Zajac, Ph.D. who recently completed post-doctoral training with Raft Ahmed at Emory University. Drs. Tucker and Lee broaden the Prevention Sciences Program within the CFAR, while Dr. Zajac contributes new expertise in T cell immunity studies within Microbiology. To continue these developmental efforts, funds are requested to support meritorious Developmental Award Applications - with emphasis on supporting junior investigators and stimulating program project development - at the level of $150,000. Applications will be solicited, reviewed and funded as in the past. In addition, recruitment moneys in the amount of $40,000 are requested to further facilitate recruitment of outstanding outside investigators to the AIDS effort. These recruitment moneys will be matched one-to-one with state funds available to the Center.
