Developmental Funds

CCSG发展基金对Winship癌症研究所(Winship)的持续增长和发展至关重要。这些资金提供了关键的资金基础，使Winship能够通过投资于癌症中心的最高优先事项来推进其战略计划。Winship最初的第一类CCSG奖励包括三年内约800,000美元的开发基金，这些资金支持了Winship的试点赠款计划和两个开发共享资源--生物信息学和转基因小鼠设施。自2009年4月以来，Winship已经发放了24笔与CCSG发展基金直接相关的试点赠款。此外，在同一时期，Winship已拨出100多万美元的慈善基金，用于配套的试点赠款。Winship总共向其成员发放了超过140万美元的试点赠款资金，以加快其研究计划的进展，在当前的申请中，Winship每年申请437,818美元的发展资金，主要用于继续其试点赠款计划，并通过招聘教师来推动Winship的战略举措。这笔资金将分配为200,000美元/年，用于Winship 2010-2015战略计划确定的特定领域的教师招聘。另有200,000美元/年将继续支持Winship Pilot Grant计划，特别关注的奖励涉及：1.与埃默里化学生物学中心合作进行的新研究；2.肿瘤学比较有效性研究的新举措；3.与NCI支持的癌症合作小组或网络联合开展的研究项目；4.与NCI指定的另一癌症中心的研究人员的研究伙伴关系；或5.与佐治亚州另一家研究机构的教师合作进行的调查。目前对发展资金的要求，加上机构资金的持续承诺，将使执行主任及其领导团队能够继续在一些战略征聘和研究开发方面按计划发展。这种支持将使Winship能够实现其愿景，即成为整合癌症研究、教育和护理的变革性领导者。

CCSG Developmental Funds are critical to the continued growth and development of the Winship Cancer Institute (Winship). These funds provide a critical base of funding enabling Winship to advance its strategic plan by investing in the cancer center's highest priorities. Winship's initial type 1 CCSG award Included approximately $800,000 of Development Funds over three years, and these funds have supported Winship's pilot grant program and two developing shared resources, Bioinfonnatics and Transgenic Mouse Facility. Since April 2009, Winship has distributed 24 pilot grants directly linked to CCSG developmental funds. In addition, the Winship has allocated over $1 million in philanthropic funds for matching pilot grants during the same time period. In total, Winship has distributed over $1.4 million in pilot grant funding to its members to accelerate progress within their research programs, in this current application, Winship is requesting $437,818 in developmental funds per year primarily to continue its pilot grant program and to advance Winship's strategic initiatives through faculty recruitment. This would be allocated as $200,000/year for faculty recruitment in defined domains as identified by the Winship Strategic Plan 2010-2015. Another $200,000/year would continue to support the Winship Pilot Grant Program, with a particular focus on awards that Involve: 1. New Investigations in partnership with the Emory Chemical Biology Center; 2. New initiatives in comparative effectiveness research In oncology; 3. Research projects in conjunction with an NCI-supported cancer cooperative group or network; 4. Research partnerships with investigators from another NCI-designated cancer center; or 5. Investigations in partnership with faculty from another research institution in Georgia. The current request for Developmental Funds in combination with the continued commitment of institutional funds will allow the Executive Director and his leadership team to continue the planned development in a number of strategic recruitments and research development. This support will enable Winship to move toward fulfilling its vision of being a transformative leader in the integration of cancer research, education, and care.
