发展研究计划：项目摘要/摘要 发育研究计划(DRP)是前列腺孢子的重要组成部分，提供 每年为4-6个有潜力的翻译项目提供资金。资金是灵活的，支持 两年或两年以下的项目。预计DRP调查人员将开发他们的飞行员 足以取代没有进展的主要项目，或者将在#年获得独立资金 前列腺癌研究。DRP遵循高度结构化的程序向调查人员征集项目 根据美国国立卫生研究院的说法，他们有兴趣开发前列腺癌领域的项目，以审查项目 审查标准并监测项目的科学进展。DRP在整个过程中始终保持 孢子资助期。发展研究方案的具体目标是： 具体目标1.在整个过程中保持发展研究方案的行政程序 孢子资助期。 具体目标2.通过高度的 结构化流程。向西北大学的调查人员发出申请请求(RFA) (NU)，芝加哥大学和北岸大学卫生系统。科学审查委员会 根据试验项目的质量和对整个孢子任务的重要性审查试验项目。 具体目标3.在孢子总体目标的范围内监测试点项目的进展情况。引航员 项目调查员被要求每年两次在孢子调查员会议上展示他们的结果。他们 还每年与DRP主任举行两次会议，以获得翻译方面的见解，并确保 里程碑正在实现。DRP调查人员必须提交书面进度报告，该报告是 由孢子国际和执行委员会成员进行严格评估。 具体目标4.鼓励更多的研究人员通过 孢子网站，并广泛分发RFA，宣布资金可用。妇女和少数群体 强烈鼓励调查人员提交试点项目。

DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH PROGRAM: PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Developmental Research Program (DRP) is an essential component of the Prostate SPORE, providing yearly funding to 4-6 projects that have promising translational potential. Funding is flexible, supporting projects for a period of two years or less. It is expected that DRP investigators will develop their pilots sufficiently to either replace main projects that are not progressing or will secure independent funding in prostate cancer research. The DRP follows a highly structured process to solicit projects from investigators who are interested in developing projects in the area of prostate cancer, to review projects according to NIH review criteria and to monitor projects for scientific progress. The DRP is maintained throughout the entire period of SPORE funding. The specific aims of the Developmental Research Program are: Specific Aim 1. To maintain the administrative process for the Developmental Research Program throughout the SPORE funding period. Specific Aim 2. To solicit, review and select innovative and translational pilot projects through the highly structured process. A request for applications (RFA) is sent out to investigators at the Northwestern University (NU), University of Chicago and NorthShore University Health Systems. The Scientific Review Committee reviews pilot projects based on the quality and importance to the overall SPORE mission. Specific Aim 3. To monitor progress of pilot projects within the context of the overall SPORE goals. Pilot project investigators are required to present their results twice per year at SPORE investigators meeting. They also meet twice per year with the Director of the DRP to obtain translational insight and to ensure that scientific milestones are being achieved. DRP investigators are required to submit a written progress report that is rigorously evaluated by the SPORE PI and members of the Executive Committee. Specific Aim 4. To encourage additional investigators to pursue research in prostate cancer through a SPORE web site and by widely distributing the RFA announcing the availability of funds. Women and minority investigators are strongly encouraged to submit pilot projects.
