Developmental Research Program

在全国范围内，针对膀胱癌（BC）的试点项目几乎没有资助机会。 此外，作为全国唯一的此类项目，MD安德森BC SPORE必须伸出援手 通过促进机构间的合作，直接向其他对BC研究感兴趣或可能感兴趣的科学家提供信息。 协作为了满足这些重要需求，SPORE发展研究中心 该计划已经从一个主要支持MD安德森项目的结构演变为一个 寻求与其他机构的团体建立合作，并建立灵活和敏捷的 确定并迅速提供资金的程序。为此，我们提出以下具体目标： 此更新申请： I.确定潜在的高影响力新兴的转化研究项目，重点关注尿路上皮癌， 最好是在其他机构; 2.为这些项目提供1-2年的种子资金; 3.将最成功的项目作为完整项目纳入SPORE。

Few funding opportunities exist nationwide for pilot projects that are focused on bladder cancer (BC). Furthermore, as the only program of its kind in the country, the MD Anderson BC SPORE must reach out directly to other translafional scientists who are or may become interested in BC research by fostering interinstitutional collaboration. To address these important needs, the SPORE Developmental Research Program has evolved from a structure that largely supported projects based at MD Anderson to one that seeks to establish collaborations with groups at other institutions and establish fiexible and nimble processes for identifying and rapidly funding them. To this end, we propose the following Specific Aims in this renewal applicafion: I.To identify potentially high impact emerging translational research projects focused on urothelial cancer, preferably at other institutions; 2. To provide seed funding for these projects for 1-2 years; 3. To incorporate the most successful as full projects within the SPORE.
