The UCLA-CMCR Pilot Project Program has been a major success. It has brought 28 investigators into the field of radiation research; young investigators who are just starting their career and experienced investigators who were new to radiation research. As a result the UCLA-CMCR has grown into a strong cadre of investigators from 17 different departments who maintain a vibrant evolving research environment with a focus on mitigating the effects of radiation on normal tissues. This Core has fed new blood into the Program as is seen in renewal submission that has 8 Pilot Project investigators contributing to the proposed Projects and Cores, including one new Project. Core support has led to new grant submissions, publications, industrial collaborations, and the establishment of a database for information on compounds that are being generated by the CMCR. In the next funding period, we propose to have fewer Pilot Research Projects funded by the Core than before, but we have built a strong infrastructure and identified key players who will continue their radiation research, so a smaller Pilot Project program is appropriate for us at this time. We will award 3 grants per year. Recruitment of applicants will be by e-mail and web site. An announcement describing the UCLA CMCR Pilot Research Grant Project will be sent via our Contracts and Grants Office individually to all eligible P.l.s at UCLA and at hospitals and research institutes in the vicinity of UCLA. It will be also distributed through the Southern California Biotechnology Program. The application will be short (3-5 pages) and all proposals will be reviewed and scored by members ofthe Internal and External Scientific Advisory Groups, as well as the Executive Committee. Small projects suited to funding by the Cancer Center (JCCC) will be identified and rerouted to that source. A mentoring program will be in place for young investigators who have yet to receive RO-1 funding and an educational program for those with little knowledge of radiation research.

UCLA-CMCR 试点项目取得了重大成功。吸引了28名研究人员进入辐射研究领域；刚刚开始职业生涯的年轻研究人员和刚刚接触辐射研究的经验丰富的研究人员。因此，UCLA-CMCR 已发展成为一支由来自 17 个不同部门的强大研究人员组成的骨干队伍，他们维持着一个充满活力、不断发展的研究环境，重点关注减轻辐射对正常组织的影响。这一核心为该计划注入了新的血液，正如在更新提交中看到的那样，有 8 名试点项目研究人员为拟议的项目和核心做出了贡献，其中包括一个新项目。 核心支持导致了新的拨款申请、出版物、工业合作以及建立了 CMCR 生成的化合物信息数据库。 在下一个资助期内，我们建议核心资助的试点研究项目少于 之前，但我们已经建立了强大的基础设施，并确定了将继续进行辐射研究的关键参与者，因此目前较小的试点项目计划适合我们。 我们每年将颁发 3 笔补助金。申请人的招聘将通过电子邮件和网站进行。描述 UCLA CMCR 试点研究资助项目的公告将通过我们的合同和资助办公室单独发送给 UCLA 以及 UCLA 附近的医院和研究机构的所有符合条件的 P.l.。它还将通过南加州生物技术计划进行分发。申请书很短（3-5 页），所有提案都将由内部和外部科学顾问小组以及执行委员会的成员进行审查和评分。适合癌症中心资助的小型项目 (JCCC) 将被识别并重新路由至该来源。将为年轻人制定指导计划 尚未获得 RO-1 资助和针对那些贫困者的教育计划的研究人员 辐射研究知识。
