Developmental Funds

描述 A.招聘 支持IUSCC招募新研究人员的发展资金将在下一个时期至关重要。 资金周期，以完成我们的中心的战略计划。在本供资周期内， 通过有针对性的教师招聘，资金被用于支持研究项目的发展。 研究人员被招募到所有四个IUSCC项目（癌症控制，造血，微环境） 和免疫学，乳腺癌，实验和发展治疗），以完成 该中心的战略目标已被确定为需要增加我们的GI，乳房， 流行病学，肺癌，造血系以及癌症控制成员。18名教师 成功征聘了8个部门的成员，并获得初步任命。其中，10个现在持有 同行评审的联邦癌症研究赠款。上一个CCSG中讨论的所有招聘目标 （行为科学和基础科学集中于GI和卵巢癌）。 在即将到来的赠款周期中，未来的招募工作将针对扩大我们的乳腺癌， 癌症控制和EOT项目以及发展中的分子和环境项目 致癌作用和肿瘤微环境，在IUSCC战略计划中概述。CCSG基金通常是 我们用于招募顶尖候选人并为癌症中心提供 主任为该机构招募顶级癌症研究人员提供真实的投入。 B。试点项目：发展基金对于支持试点研究项目也至关重要。 直到2006年9月，国际大学生协调委员会通过对申请的内部审查来分配试点项目资金， 具体的RFA。这些RFA可以针对特定的癌症类型或研究计划。某些必需 与普渡癌症中心的成员合作，并由两个中心共同资助。审查 标准包括科学相关性、协作和未来同行审查供资的潜力。IUSCC 支持了19个这样的项目，这些项目在本节后面的表1中显示。资金的传统用途 2006年9月，当IUSCC高级领导人开始为IUSCC项目提供试点资金时，IUSCC项目的试点资金发生了巨大变化。 采用创新的新方法分配试点研究资金。

Description A. Recruitment Developmental funds to support the recruitment of new investigators to the IUSCC will be critical in the next funding cycle to accomplish our strategic plan of the Center. During the current funding cycle, developmental funds were used to support the growth of research programs through targeted faculty recruitments. Investigators were recruited to all four IUSCC programs (Cancer Control, Hematopoiesis, Microenvironment and Immunology, Breast Cancer, and Experimental and Developmental Therapeutics) to accomplish the strategic objectives of the Center which had been identified as needing to increase our Gl, breast, epidemiology, lung cancer, and hematopoiesis faculty as well as cancer control members. Eighteen faculty members were successfully recruited with primary appointments in eight departments. Of these, ten now hold peer reviewed federal cancer research grants. All recruitment objectives discussed in the previous CCSG application were addressed (behavioral science and basic science focused on Gl and ovarian cancers). Future recruiting efforts in the upcoming grant cycle will be targeted toward expanding our Breast Cancer, Cancer Control and EOT Programs as well as the developing programs Molecular and Environmental Carcinogenesis and Tumor Microenvironment, outlined in the IUSCC Strategic Plan. CCSG funds are often a critical component of the packages that we use to recruit top candidates and provide the Cancer Center Director with real input into the recruitment of top cancer investigators into the institution. B. Pilot Projects: Developmental funds are also pivotally important for support of pilot research projects. Until September 2006, the IUSCC allocated pilot project funds by internal review of applications responding to specific RFA's. These RFA's could target a specific cancer type or research program. Some required collaboration with members of the Purdue Cancer Center and were jointly funded by both Centers. Review criteria included scientific relevance, collaboration and potential for future peer-reviewed funding. The IUSCC supported nineteen such projects, which are shown in Table 1 later in this section. Traditional use of funds for pilot funding of IUSCC projects changed dramatically when in September 2006, IUSCC Senior Leaders began a new and innovative approach for the allocation of pilot research funds.
