DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS

在最初的CCSG赠款中，发展资金被要求作为一种工具来支持一个试点项目计划 促进项目内部和项目间的互动，支持项目发展。分析 荒漠化、土地退化和气候变化协调委员会试点项目方案表明，尽管该方案尚不成熟，但已取得成功。该程序已经生成了 新的合作，校外赠款和出版物在理想的目标领域。中心领导 认为，在可持续发展环境中，CCSG发展基金的额外有效使用是提供 提供业务支持，以开发基于新技术的共享资源。具体而言，中心希望 利用机构在三个新的共享资源方面的大量投资，包括1） 高分子X射线晶体学，2）人口科学生物储存库，和3）细胞遗传学。 DLDCC正在申请10万美元的CCSG资金，以扩大其成功和强大的试点项目 程序. CCSG试点项目计划的目的是为三个项目提供资金-每年30 - 40，000美元 旨在资助创新的新想法或支持加强战略计划的强有力的项目 发展 DLDCC申请总额为210，000美元的资金，以支持共享资源， 癌症中心不断变化的需求和创造新的研究机会。高分子X射线 晶体学资源建立在最近的机构投资在一个设备齐全的国家的最先进的X- 雷设施。运营支持资金将使该设施能够将服务扩展到癌症中心 研究人员谁不是训练有素的X射线晶体学家，并为他们提供机会，以确定 癌症相关大分子的结构。人口科学生物储备资源（PSB） 建立以满足癌症中心新兴分子流行病学家的需要， 储存基于人群和临床研究的生物样本。PSB正在由启动资金建造 我们正在向CCSG申请持续的运营支持资金。的 细胞遗传学共享资源是德克萨斯州儿童医院（TCH）的一个既定设施， 将其服务限于TCH教师和儿科部门。请拨的业务支助资金将 将这些高度相关的细胞遗传学技术的用户群扩大到联合国 癌症中心编制工作人员代表的个别摘要已列入预算，以协助审评人员。

In the original CCSG grant, developmental funds were requested to support a pilot project program as a tool to stimulate inter and intra programmatic interaction and support program development. Analysis of the DLDCC pilot project program indicates that while young it has been successful. The program has generated new collaborations, extra-mural grants and publications in the desired targeted areas. Center leadership believes that an additional effective use of CCSG Developmental funds in the BCM environment is to provide operating support to develop new technology-based shared resources. Specifically, the Center would like to leverage large investments made by the Institution in three new Shared Resources including 1) Macromolecular X-Ray Crystallography, 2) Population Sciences Biorepository, and 3) Cytogenetics. The DLDCC is requesting $100,000 in CCSG funding to augment its successful and robust Pilot Project Program. The intent of the CCSG pilot project program would be to fund three - $30-40,000 per year projects targeted at funding innovative new ideas or to support strong projects that enhance strategic program development. The DLDCC is requesting a total of $210,000 to support Shared Resource with the intent of meeting specific evolving needs of the cancer center and for creating new research opportunities. The Macromolecular X-Ray Crystallography Resource builds on a recent Institutional investment in a fully equipped state-of-the art X- Ray facility. Operational support funds will enable this facility to expand services to cancer center investigators who are not trained X-ray crystallographers, and provide them with the opportunity to determine structures of cancer related macromolecules. A Population Sciences Biorepository Resource (PSB) is being set up to meet the needs of the emerging molecular epidemiologists in the Cancer Center for processing and storing biospecimens from population-based and clinical studies. The PSB is being built by start-up funds from the Cancer Center and we are requesting on-going operational support funds from the CCSG. The Cytogenetics Shared Resource is an established facility at Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) that has largely limited its services to TCH faculty and the Pediatrics Department. Operational support funds requested will expand the user base of these highly relevant cytogenetic technologies to the general membership of the cancer center. Individual abstracts for the developing SRs are included with budgets to assist the reviewer.
