Developmental Research Program

发展研究计划（DRP）将资助小型企业发起的项目，直接成本预算在50，000 - 75，000美元之间。我们保证每年为DRP提供20万美元。联邦SPORE基金将在第一年提供75 000美元，随后几年可能会增加，这取决于资金的可用性。丹娜-法伯癌症研究所的机构承诺每年将提供125 000美元。将尽一切努力在这一数额上增加更多的慈善资金。在之前的DF/HCC乳腺孢子赠款中，DRP导致了出版物、赠款和临床试验。来自前一个SPORE的DRP奖项之一构成了该赠款项目3的大部分基础。本节介绍了申请、授予赠款、监测研究进展和决定持续资助的过程。DRP有一个透明的同行审查的选择过程，其中包含供资决定的明确标准。监督过程和选择获奖者的委员会是发展研究计划和职业发展奖（DRP/CDP）治理和审查委员会。DRP将发起广泛的提案征集，以确保最有前途的早期研究项目获得有价值的资助，DF/HCC成员机构的研究人员都有资格提交提案。DF/HCC拥有一个庞大而有才华的调查小组，可以提供丰富的应用程序供选择，我们预计将对宣布的每一个应用程序请求做出强有力的回应。

The Developmental Research Program (DRP) will fund small investigator-initiated projects with direct cost budgets of between $50,000-75,000. We are guaranteeing $200,000 per year for the DRP. Federal SPORE funds will make up $75,000 in the first year, with possible increases in subsequent years depending upon the availability of funds. Institutional commitment from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute will provide $125,000 per year. Every effort to add additional philanthropic dollars to this amount will be made. In the previous DF/HCC Breast SPORE Grants, DRPs led to publications, grants, and clinical trials. One of the DRP awards from the previous SPORE has formed the basis of a large portion of Project 3 of this grant. The process for soliciting applications, awarding grants, monitoring research progress, and making decisions about ongoing funding are described in this section. The DRP has a transparent peer-reviewed selection process that incorporates defined criteria for funding decisions. The committee that oversees the process and selects the award recipients is the Developmental Research Program and Career Development Awards (DRP/CDP) Governance and Review Committee. The DRP will initiate a broad call for proposals to ensure the most promising early-phase research projects to receive meritorious funding, and investigators at all DF/HCC member institutions will be eligible to submit proposals. The DF/HCC has a large and talented investigator group to provide a wealth of applications from which to choose, and we anticipate a robust response to each and every request for applications that is announced.
