Developmental Funds

：发展基金继续在上一个CCSG预算期间启动的癌症中心全球重组中发挥关键作用。在彻底、透明和包容性的战略规划流程的支持下，癌症中心在行政基础设施、科学和教育目标的细化、项目主题的扩展以及共享资源的全球调整方面发生了重大变化。这次重组的一个关键方面是一个重点和主题的教师招聘工作，导致在所有学术级别的九个新的癌症中心成员的招聘，并在上一个预算期间在三个科学计划任命。CCSG发展基金作为灵活、包容和以目标为导向的决策过程的一部分进行了明智的部署，有助于实现2012年癌症中心战略计划的长期指示，促进新的教师招聘，促进跨计划和合作试点项目，支持推出新的发展性转化研究管理核心，以及扩大临床注释的原发性肿瘤样本的收集，用于分子验证研究、预后生物标志物评估和新癌症靶点的鉴定。在这种情况下，CCSG发展基金为癌症中心在上一个预算期的急剧上升做出了切实贡献，这反映在癌症关注的显著增加，NCI和癌症相关资金的增长，跨计划和计划内合作出版物的扩展，以及基础，转化和以患者为导向的癌症研究连续体的科学举措组合的推出沿着。在这些经过验证的原则的基础上，CCSG发展基金将继续支持癌症中心在下一个预算期内的上升轨迹，支持新的教师招聘，并扩大已经到位的中心范围内的工具，以实现所有三个科学项目的转化和以患者为导向的癌症研究。

: Developmental Funds have continued to play a key role in the global reorganization of the Cancer Center that was initiated during the last CCSG budget period. Supported by a thorough, transparent and inclusive strategic planning process, the Cancer Center has undergone major changes in its administrative infrastructure, refinement of scientific and educational objectives, expansion of programmatic themes and global realignment of Shared Resources. A pivotal aspect of this reorganization was a focused and thematic faculty recruitment effort that led to the hiring of nine new Cancer Center members at all academic ranks and appointed across the three scientific Programs during the last budget period. Judiciously deployed as part of a flexible, inclusive and goal-oriented decision-making process, CCSG Developmental Funds have been instrumental to enable the long-range directives ofthe 2012 Cancer Center Strategic Plan, contributing to new faculty recruitment, facilitating inter-programmatic and collaborative pilot projects, supporting the launch of a new developmental Translational Research Management core, and expanding the collection of clinically annotated primary tumor samples for molecular validation studies, prognostic biomarker assessment and identification of new cancer targets. In this context, CCSG Developmental Funds have tangibly contributed to the sharp upward trajectory of the Cancer Center of the last budget period, reflected in significantly increased cancer focus, growth in NCI and cancer-related funding, expansion of inter- and intraprogrammatic collaborative publications, and launch of a portfolio of scientific initiatives along the continuum of basic, translational and patient-oriented cancer research. Building on these validated principles, CCSG Developmental Funds will continue to support the upward trajectory of the Cancer Center over the next budget period, supporting new faculty recruitment and expanding the Center-wide tools that have been put in place to enable translational and patient-oriented cancer research across all three scientific Programs.
