CORE--DEVELOPMENTAL FACILITY

CFAR发展核心是CFAR作为纽约大学艾滋病研究催化剂的主要途径。 发展核心的目标是鼓励新的研究者和创新，并允许对新的研究机会做出快速反应。发展基金的主要部分用于资助年轻研究人员或艾滋病相关研究领域的新研究人员提出的试点研究项目。这些奖项是在我们的科学审查委员会对提交的申请进行彻底评估和第二轮投票后颁发的。另外两类调查可以得到发展基金的支助：新的研究机会，这必须涉及合作努力;以及新技术的开发。在最近的试点奖励资金周期中，40%的受助人在获得发展资金的两年内获得了自己的NIH资金。

The CFAR Developmental Core is a major route by which the CFAR acts as a catalyst for AIDS research at NYU. The goals of the Developmental Core are to encourage new investigators and innovation and to permit a rapid response to new research opportunities. The major portion of the developmental funds is used to fund pilot research projects proposed by young investigators or investigators who are new to the field of AIDS-related research. These awards are made after a thorough evaluation of submitted applications by our Scientific Review Committee, and a second ballot. Two additional categories of investigation may be supported by developmental funds: new research opportunities, which must involve a collaborative effort; and the development of new technologies. In the most recent funding cycles for pilot awards, 40% of recipients have obtained their own NIH funds within two years of receiving developmental funds.
