Developmental Research Core

发展核心 核心董事：Meir Stampfer，医学博士，DrPH 综述：发展核心的使命是促进能量学和癌症的发展 通过支持研究人员发起的、规模较小、高度创新(和高风险)的研究项目进行研究 在哈佛TREC中心和跨TREC中心。成功的项目将为以下项目提供基础 与TREC紧密结合，但有独立资金的更大规模的研究。这一机制 将最大限度地利用TREC的资源，以促进在这一广泛领域的开创性跨学科研究 区域。它将强调支持新的研究人员开始肥胖症和癌症相关的职业生涯 研究。它还支持那些致力于使用新方法研究能量平衡的有经验的研究人员 和癌症，补充了现有中心活动的范围。我们将特别努力识别和 支持被视为跨学科和跨不同领域和机构协同的领域的工作。这个 汉德公共卫生学院已承诺提供等额资金(150,000美元)，以支持其他 通过TREC机制进行试点研究(一个TREC内部试点项目和两个跨TREC试点项目)。 发展核心的目标是支持能量学方面的创新和跨学科研究 和癌症，并刺激能量学和癌症的职业发展，特别强调 支持新的调查人员。我们已经建立了严格的同行审查程序，包括初步的 提交和审查意向书，并由科学中心广泛审查全部提案 覆核委员会。核心主任Meir Stampfer博士在NIH持续资助的记录中有着良好的记录 在过去的二十年里，他是美国国立卫生研究院癌症和癌症培训基金的首席研究员 是Dana-Farber/哈佛癌症中心前列腺癌孢子中心的联席主任。他有丰富的经验 在美国国立卫生研究院拨款审查委员会任职(通常担任主席)。他将监督这一项目的管理 方案，包括征求和审查试点奖项申请，以及指导和整合 参加中心活动的获奖者。核心将促进建立在 中心的主题和资源。预期核心的工作将对实地产生影响 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.
