Developmental Funds

发展基金 在癌症中心支持赠款的下一个5年周期中，金梅尔癌症中心正在申请 每年大约400,000美元的发展基金。这些资金是灵活资金的关键来源 为KCC提供资金，并为招聘新教师和试点提供重要支持 项目资金。在下一个周期，所有申请的资金将仅用于这些目的。 已在四个领域确定了中心范围的招聘需求：结构生物学、辐射 研究和翻译生物学、泌尿生殖系癌症和癌症遗传学。发展中 资金将使这些领域的征聘工作成为可能，这不仅将加强具体的需要领域，而且 还加强方案内和方案间的协作。试点项目筹资倡议 在发展基金的支持下，上一个周期建立的项目也将继续进行。 在上一个周期中，发展基金用于支持：1)招聘教员；2) 建立新的共享资源，以及3)支持旨在提交 计划项目应用程序。这笔资金的结果证明了发展基金的支出 资金是非常有益的。由发展基金招聘并得到支持的新教员 非常成功地建立了他们的实验室，获得了外部的、同行评审的资金，以及 开始公布他们的研究结果。发展基金还使建立 两个新的共享资源(微阵列、蛋白质组学和质谱学)已经被证明是这样的 对于癌症中心的研究人员来说，它们将被转化为KCC完全共享的资源，这是无价的 下一个周期。在同行评议的顶级期刊上发表的许多文章已经产生于 这些新的共享资源的活动。发展基金还为招募 杰出的新董事为这两个共享的资源。

DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS For the next 5 year cycle of the Cancer Center Support Grant, the Kimmel Cancer Center is requesting approximately $400,000 per year in Developmental Funds. These funds are a critical source of flexible funding for the KCC, and provide a vital source of support for recruitment of new faculty and for pilot project funding. For the next cycle, all the funds requested will be utilized only for those purposes. Center-wide recruitment needs have been identified in four areas: Structural Biology, Radiation Research and Translational Biology, Genito-Urinary Cancer, and Cancer Genetics. Developmental Funds will enable recruitments in these areas, which will not only strengthen specific areas of need, but also enhance intra- and inter-programmatic collaborations. The pilot project funding initiative established in the previous cycle also will be continued with the support of Developmental Funds. During the previous cycle, Developmental Funds were used to support: 1) faculty recruitment, 2) establishment of new shared resources, and 3) support for pilot projects aimed at the submission of program project applications. The results of this funding have proven the expenditure of Developmental Funds to be very beneficial. New faculty recruited with and supported by Developmental Funds have been highly successful in establishing their laboratories, acquiring external, peer-reviewed funding, and starting to publish the results of their studies. Developmental Funds also enabled the establishment of two new shared resources (Microarray, and Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry) which have proven so invaluable to cancer center researchers that they will be transformed into full KCC shared resources in the next cycle. Numerous publications in top peer-reviewed journals have already resulted from the activities of these new shared resources. Developmental Funds also facilitated the recruitment of outstanding new Directors for both of these shared resources.
