核心B：发展核心 该中心的工作人员将包括核心主任、美国癌症学会教授约翰·M·科芬博士 塔夫茨大学医学院分子生物学和微生物学系。科芬博士是研究领域的领军人物 关于逆转录病毒的生物学。科芬博士的职责将是监督征集过程， 审查和授予发展资金，以继续该计划，以鼓励招募和 促进少数群体科学家的发展，并通过以下方式协助CFAR主任推进其使命 拓展到两个校区、新英格兰地区，以及整个生物医学研究社区。 Peter Shank博士，医学教授，曾任布朗医学院研究副院长 学校将作为发展奖获得者的教师导师，并帮助发展核心 导演按要求就位。 核心的基本目的将是1)通过同行审查的申请提供发展资金 每两年进行一次，以鼓励创新研究和吸引新的研究人员 艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究领域；2)扩大来自代表性不足的少数群体的调查人数 他们活跃在艾滋病研究领域。 发展基金将专门用于三种类型的奖励 1)初步艾滋病研究项目：艾滋病研究领域的新入门基础或临床研究人员 没有艾滋病相关的研究支持，重点是初级调查人员。 2)试点项目：在有或没有前艾滋病相关研究支持的情况下，现有调查人员可以 申请资金，研究有前景的新研究领域，目的是开发数据， 将导致申请R01类型的资金。 3)合作项目：两名或两名以上的资深调查人员(至少其中一人有艾滋病相关疾病 研究支持)谁愿意就当前未完成的特定项目进行协作 得到外部或内部资金的支持，并承诺提高综合质量 艾滋病研究，可以申请合作项目的资金。

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.
