Developmental Research Core

开发核心 核心总监：Meir Stampfer，MD，DrPH 发展核心的使命是促进能量学和癌症的发展 通过支持科研机构发起的、规模较小的、高度创新（和高风险）的研究项目， 在哈佛TREC中心和整个TREC中心。成功的项目将为 与TREC紧密结合的更大规模的研究，但有独立的资金。这一机制 将最大限度地利用和利用TREC资源，促进这一广泛领域的开创性跨学科研究。 区它将强调新的研究人员开始在肥胖和癌症相关的职业生涯的支持 research.它还支持经验丰富的研究人员，他们的目标是使用新的方法来研究能量平衡 和癌症，以补充现有的中心活动的范围。我们将特别努力查明和 支持在被视为跨学科和跨不同领域和机构的协同领域开展工作。的 汉/阿德公共卫生学院已承诺提供配套资金（15万美元），以支持更多的 通过TREC机制开展试点研究（一个TREC内部试点项目和两个TREC跨部门试点项目）。 发展核心的目标是支持能量学的创新和跨学科研究 和癌症，并刺激职业发展的能量和癌症，特别强调 支持新的调查员。我们已经建立了严格的同行评审流程，包括初步的 提交和审查意向书，并由中心科学委员会广泛审查全部提案。 审查委员会。核心主任Meir Stampfer博士在NIH持续资助的 在过去的二十年里，他是两个国家卫生研究院癌症培训赠款的主要研究者， 是达纳-法伯/哈佛癌症中心前列腺癌SPORE的联合主任。他拥有丰富的经验 在服务（通常是主席）对NIH补助审查委员会。他将监督管理这一点 计划，包括征求和审查试点奖申请，以及指导和整合 获奖者进入中心活动。核心将促进小规模的创新研究， 中心的主题和资源。预期核心的工作将对外地产生影响 这超出了我们的TREC活动。

Developmental Core Core Director: Meir Stampfer, MD, DrPH Summary: The mission of the Developmental Core is to foster the development of energetics and cancer research by supporting investigator-initiated, smaller-scale, highly innovative (and high-risk) research projects within the Harvard TREC Center and across TREC Centers. Successful projects will provide the basis for larger-scale research that is closely integrated with the TREC, but with independent funding. This mechanism will maximize and leverage the TREC resources to foster pioneering transdisciplinary research in this broad area. It will emphasize the support of new investigators starting a career in obesity and cancer-related research. It also supports experienced investigators who aim to use novel approaches to study energy balance and cancer that complement the scope of existing Center activities. We will make special effort to identify and support work in areas viewed as transdisciplinary and synergistic across different fields and institutions. The Han/ard School of Public Health has committed to provide matching funds ($150,000) to support additional pilot studies through the TREC mechanism (one within-TREC pilot project and two cross-TREC pilot projects). The goals ofthe Developmental Core are to support innovative and transdisciplinary research in energetics and cancer and to stimulate career development in energetics and cancer, with a particular emphasis on supporting new investigators. We have established a rigorous peer review process that includes initial submission and review of Letters of Intent and extensive review of full proposals by the Center Scientific Review Committee. The Core Director, Dr. Meir Stampfer, has a strong track record of continuous NIH-funded research in cancer over the past two decades, is principal investigator of two NIH training grants in cancer and is co-Director of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center SPORE in prostate cancer. He has vast experience in serving (usually as Chair) on NIH grant review committees. He will oversee the management of this program, including solicitation and review of the pilot award applications, and mentorship and integration of the awardees into Center activities. The Core will foster smaller-scale innovative research that builds on the Center's theme and resources. The expectation is that the work of the Core will have an impact on the field that goes beyond our TREC activities.
