Developmental Funds

描述 A.招聘 发展基金将在下一年发挥关键作用，以支持招募新的调查员加入IUSCC。 资金周期，以完成我们的中心战略计划。在本供资周期内，发展 资金被用于通过有针对性的教师招聘来支持研究项目的增长。 研究人员被招募参加所有四个IUSCC项目(癌症控制、造血、微环境 和免疫学、乳腺癌以及实验和发展治疗学)来完成 该中心的战略目标已被确定为需要增加我们的Gl，乳房， 流行病学、肺癌和造血学系以及癌症控制成员。18名教职员工 成功地在八个部门招募了成员，并进行了初步任命。其中，现在有10个持有 同行评审的联邦癌症研究拨款。上届CCSG中讨论的所有招聘目标 解决了应用问题(行为科学和基础科学侧重于Gl和卵巢癌)。 在即将到来的拨款周期中，未来的招募工作将以扩大我们的乳腺癌为目标， 癌症控制和EOT计划以及发展中的分子和环境计划 癌症发生和肿瘤微环境，在IUSCC战略计划中概述。CCSG基金通常是 我们用来招募顶尖候选人并为癌症中心提供服务的一揽子计划的关键组成部分 在招募顶尖癌症调查人员进入该机构方面有实际投入的董事。 B.试点项目：发展资金对支持试点研究项目也至关重要。 在2006年9月之前，IUSCC通过对以下申请进行内部审查来分配试点项目资金 特定的RFA。这些RFA可以针对特定的癌症类型或研究项目。有些是必需的 与普渡癌症中心成员合作，并由两个中心共同资助。回顾 标准包括科学相关性、协作和未来同行审查资金的潜力。IUSCC 支助了19个这样的项目，如本节后面的表1所示。资金的传统用途 IUSCC项目的试点资金在2006年9月发生了巨大变化，IUSCC高级领导人开始 创新试点科研经费分配办法。

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.
