DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH PROGRAM

头颈癌孢子支持发展研究计划，其目标是确定 头颈癌转化研究的新研究机会，支持额外的 有价值的建议，可能扩大到全面的研究项目在未来，并加强研究 通过增加头颈癌研究人员的数量来减少头颈癌的发生。的 具体目标是：1）通过向所有可能的机构发送征求建议书（RFP）来征求研究建议。 investigators. RFP将通过电子邮件发送给埃默里大学所有当前和潜在的HNC研究人员， 格鲁吉亚理工学院和格鲁吉亚医学院。2)找出最佳的融资方案。 申请将由一个委员会进行审查，该委员会由该SPORE的PI领导，并由所有 项目和核心/计划以及与头颈癌相关的不同领域的研究人员， 符合NIH审查标准。3)为最好的项目提供资金并监督其进展。平均5 项目将每年获得资助，每年评估两次进展情况。

The Head & Neck Cancer SPORE supports a Developmental Research Program with the goals of identifying new research opportunities in translational research of head and neck cancer, supporting additional meritorious proposals that might expand into full research projects in the future, and enhancing the research of head and neck cancer by increasing the number of investigators working on head and neck cancer. The specific aims are: 1) To solicit research proposals by sending a request for proposals (RFP) to all possible investigators. The RFP will be emailed to all current and potential HNC investigators in Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Medical College of Georgia. 2) To identify the best proposals to fund. Applications will be reviewed by a committee led by the PI of this SPORE and comprised of leaders of all projects and cores/programs as well as investigators in different fields related to head and neck cancer, following the NIH review criteria. 3) To fund the best projects and monitor their progress. On average 5 projects will be funded annually, and progress will be evaluated twice a year.
