Pilot Projects Core

加州大学洛杉矶分校-CMCR试点项目计划取得了重大成功。它带来了28名研究人员进入辐射研究领域；年轻的研究人员刚刚开始他们的职业生涯，经验丰富的研究人员是辐射研究的新手。因此，加州大学洛杉矶分校-CMCR已经成长为一支强大的研究队伍，来自17个不同的部门，他们保持着一个充满活力的不断发展的研究环境，重点是减轻辐射对正常组织的影响。这一核心为计划注入了新的血液，这从续签提交的文件中可以看出，8名试点项目调查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赠款申请、出版物、产业合作，并建立了一个关于CMCR正在产生的化合物信息的数据库。 在下一个资助期，我们建议由核心资助的试验研究项目少于 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，因此目前适合我们的是规模较小的试点项目计划。 我们将每年颁发3笔助学金。招聘申请者将通过电子邮件和网站进行。描述加州大学洛杉矶分校CMCR试点研究资助项目的公告将通过我们的合同和拨款办公室单独发送给加州大学洛杉矶分校以及加州大学洛杉矶分校附近的医院和研究机构的所有符合条件的公关人员。它还将通过南加州生物技术计划分发。申请书将很短(3-5页)，所有建议都将由内部和外部科学咨询小组以及执行委员会的成员审查和评分。适合癌症中心资助的小项目 (JCCC)将被识别并重新路由到该来源。将为Young制定一个指导计划 尚未获得RO-1资金的调查人员和为那些几乎没有资金的人提供的教育计划 辐射研究方面的知识。

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.
