核心B：发展核心 核心工作人员将包括核心主任John M.科芬博士，美国癌症协会教授 分子生物学和微生物学，塔夫茨大学医学院。科芬博士是研究 逆转录病毒的生物学。科芬医生的职责是监督拉客的过程， 审查和授予发展资金，继续该计划，以鼓励招聘， 少数民族科学家的发展，并协助CFAR主任推进其使命， 外展到两个校区，新英格兰地区，并在整个生物医学研究界。 Peter Shank博士，医学科学教授和布朗医疗研究的前副院长 学校将作为教师的导师，发展获奖者，并协助发展核心 导演要求的。 核心的基本目的是：1）通过同行评审的申请提供发展资金 一年两次，以鼓励创新研究，吸引新的研究人员到 艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究领域; 2）增加来自代表性不足的少数群体的调查人员人数 在艾滋病研究领域很活跃的人。 发展基金将用于三种类型的奖励 1)初步艾滋病研究项目：艾滋病研究领域的基础或临床研究人员， 没有与艾滋病有关的研究支持，主要侧重于初级调查人员。 2)试点项目：有或没有以前艾滋病相关研究支持的知名研究人员可以 申请资金调查有前途的新研究领域，目的是开发数据， 将导致申请R 01类型的资金。 3)合作项目：两名或两名以上已建立的研究人员（其中至少一人与艾滋病有关） 研究支持）谁愿意在一个特定的项目，目前还没有合作 由校外或校内资金支持，并承诺提高整体质量， 艾滋病研究，可申请合作项目经费。

Core B: Developmental Core Staff of the core will include the Core Director, John M. Coffin, Ph.D., American Cancer Society Professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Tufts University School of Medicine. Dr Coffin is a leader in research on the biology of retroviruses. Dr. Coffin's responsibilities will be to oversee the process of soliciting, reviewing and awarding developmental funding, to continue the program to encourage the recruitment and development of minority scientists, and to assist the Director of the CFAR in furthering its mission through outreach to the two campuses, the New England region, and to the biomedical research community at large. Peter Shank, Ph.D., Professor of Medical Science and past Associate Dean for Research at Brown Medical School will serve as a faculty mentor to developmental awardees and assist the Developmental Core Director as requested. Basic purposes of the core will be 1) to provide developmental funds through a peer-reviewed application process on a biannual basis to encourage innovative research and to attract new investigators to the HIV/AIDS research field; 2) to expand the number of investigators from under-represented minority groups who are active in the field of AIDS research. Developmental Funds will be earmarked for three types of awards 1) Initial AIDS Research Projects: Basic or clinical investigators new to the AIDS research field who do not have AIDS-related research support, with a strong focus on junior investigators. 2) Pilot Projects: Established investigators with or without former AIDS-related research support may apply for funding to investigate promising new areas of research with the aim of developing data that will result in an application for R01-type funding. 3) Collaborative Projects: Two or more established investigators (at least one of whom has AIDSrelated research support) who would like to collaborate on a specific project that is not currently supported by extramural or intramural funds and which promises to enhance the overall quality of AIDS research, may apply for funds for a collaborative project.
