DPFS Resource Request University College London

资助机构继续投资于基础科学，这需要与直接导致患者受益的投资相平衡。MRC？因此，DPFS倡议是及时的，并与MRC翻译资助倡议形成了一个综合的方法。此应用程序是为基础资源，以支持UCL？的DPFS研究组合。这将以工作人员的形式提供研究项目管理支持，以加速将基础研究理念转化为切实的患者利益。我们预计UCL将开发一个由MRC支持的DPFS项目组合。这些项目的目标是在影响老龄化人口的临床需求未得到满足的领域（包括糖尿病、心脑疾病和感染）开发新的药物、医疗设备和诊断方法。我们请求支持两名研究项目经理协调这些计划，根据需要和我们的投资组合发展，与顾问密切合作并利用他们来管理整个发展道路。

Funding agencies continue to invest in basic science and this needs to be balanced with investment that leads directly to patient benefit. MRC?s DPFS initiative is therefore timely and forms an integrated approach with the MRC Translational Funding initiative. This application is for underpinning resource to support UCL?s portfolio of DPFS studies. This will be in the form of staff who will provide research project management support to accelerate the translation of fundamental research ideas into tangible patient benefit. We envisage that UCL will develop an expanding portfolio of DPFS projects supported by the MRC. These will aim to develop new drugs, medical devices and diagnostics in areas of unmet clinical need (including diabetes, heart and brain disease, and infection) that affect the ageing population. We request support for two research project managers to co-ordinate these programmes, work closely with and draw upon a pool of consultants as needed and as our portfolio develops, to manage the entire developmental pathway.
