Developmental Research Program

加州大学洛杉矶分校前列腺癌发展研究项目目前正在使用，并将继续 作为种子资金的来源，有两个主要目标：1)鼓励和探索创新 专注于前列腺癌研究的翻译研究想法，以及2)鼓励成功 致力于其他领域的研究人员将他们的专业知识集中在创新翻译的开发上 前列腺癌研究项目。发展研究计划代表了一种及时的机制 以扩大在孢子中的发现。每年，将为三到五个极具创新性的提案提供资金。 对于目前的孢子奖，我们每年颁发3-5个奖项，包括续展。十个新的 到目前为止，调查人员已经获得了资金。选择将继续由发展计划进行 遴选委员会，它与执行委员会和内部咨询委员会一起监测 进步。资金将主要用于新的和创新的想法，但也将启动合作。 鼓励各级教职员工申请，既包括那些开始研究生涯的人，也包括那些已经建立了 希望将他们的研究转向前列腺癌领域的研究人员。有足够的专业知识 必须证明该机构或从与其他孢子的相互作用中显示出潜在的 在孢子中发展新的主要主题或研究。成功的翻译研究 项目可以在孢子中获得更多的资金，并取代非生产性的资助项目。

The UCLA SPORE in Prostate Cancer Developmental Research Program is currently used, and will continue to be used, as a source of seed funding with two primary goals: 1) to encourage and explore innovative translational research ideas that focus on prostate cancer research, and 2) to encourage successful researchers working in other fields to focus their expertise toward the development of innovative translational projects in prostate cancer research. The Development Research Program represents a timely mechanism to expand discovery within the SPORE. Each year, three to five highly innovative proposals will be funded. For the current SPORE award, we have awarded 3-5 awards annually, including renewals. Ten new investigators have been funded to date. Selection will continue to be made by the Developmental Program Selection Committee, which, along with the Executive Committee and the Internal Advisory Board, monitors progress. Funding will remain primarily for new and innovative ideas, but also to initiate collaborations. Faculty at all levels are encouraged to apply, both those beginning a research career, and established investigators who wish to re-direct their research into the field of prostate cancer. Sufficient expertise within the Institution or from interaction with other SPOREs must be demonstrated to show potential for development of a new major theme or research within the SPORE. Successful translational research projects may receive further funding in the SPORE and replace unproductive funded projects.
