Developmental Research Program

全国范围内几乎没有资助以膀胱癌(BC)为重点的试点项目的机会。 此外，作为全国唯一的此类节目，MD Anderson BC孢子必须接触到 直接给其他对BC研究感兴趣或可能对BC研究感兴趣的跨地区科学家 协作。为了解决这些重要需求，孢子发展研究 计划已经从一个主要支持MD Anderson项目的结构演变成一个 寻求与其他机构的团队建立合作关系，并建立灵活和灵活的 确定并迅速为它们提供资金的过程。为此，我们提出了以下具体目标： 此续订申请： 为了确定潜在的高影响力的新出现的专注于尿路上皮癌的翻译研究项目， 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的项目纳入孢子中。

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.
