Developmental Core

发展核心服务于UCSF-GIVI CFAR的多学科研究使命， 实现四个具体目标： 1.通过提供四种不同类型的同行评审资金来支持CFAR内的创新研究 针对不同培训水平的个人或具有特定 研究/培训重点。在四个不同的类别中，每个类别最多提供五个赠款（40，000美元/赠款） 每年包括（1）CFAR试点奖提供给初级教师或个人过渡到教师 （2）CFAR导师科学家奖，为博士后或临床研究员提供， （3）基础科学奖，授予在实验室工作的博士后研究员， 基础艾滋病毒研究和（4）国际奖（25，000美元），用于资助艾滋病毒相关培训项目 在发展中国家。 2.为年轻的艾滋病毒调查人员开展全面的年度CFAR指导计划， 每个人都可以获得未来在学术研究中取得成功所需的工具。该计划涉及 既有资深教授对初级研究人员的“一对一”指导， 旨在促进职业发展和学术晋升的专业讲习班。 3.继续改变普遍存在的“独立科学”的学术文化， 和多学科的研究被接受，新的研究团队可以快速有效地 成核的 4.战略性地投资于数量有限的具有特殊价值的新兴研究机会，或 紧迫对CFAR成员提议的此类投资给予特别考虑， 作为中心战略规划过程的一部分， 在中心内部有一个特殊的内部力量。总之，这些各种活动的 发展核心明确表达了CFAR对下一代艾滋病毒的承诺 研究人员，旨在确保他们未来的工作将是最高的科学和道德 质量.

The Developmental Core serves the multidisciplinary research mission of the UCSF-GIVI CFAR through the execution of four specific aims: 1. To support innovative research within CFAR by offering four different types of peer-reviewed funding opportunities targeting either individuals at different levels of training or investigators with a specific research/training focus. Up to five grants ($40,000/grant) in each of four distinct categories are offered annually including (1) CFAR Pilot Awards available to junior faculty or individuals transitioning to faculty status; (2) CFAR Mentored-Scientist Awards offered for postdoctoral or clinical fellows at an earlier stage in their training; (3) Basic Science Awards to laboratory-based postdoctoral fellows pursuing fundamental HIV studies and (4) International Awards ($25,000) to fund HIV-related training programs in the developing countries. 2. To conduct a comprehensive annual CFAR Mentoring Program for young HIV investigators providing each with access to the tools needed for future success in academic research. This program involves both "one on one" mentoring of junior investigators by committed senior faculty members and a series of professional workshops designed to facilitate career progression and academic promotion. 3. To continue to change the pervasive academic culture of "independent science" where collaboration and multidisciplinary research are embraced and new research teams can be quickly and effectively nucleated. 4. To invest strategically in a limited number of emerging research opportunities of exceptional merit or urgency. Special consideration for such investments, which are proposed by CFAR members or identified as a part of the Center's strategic planning process, is given to ideas that match a compelling opportunity with a particular internal strength within the Center. Together, these various activities of the Developmental Core are a clear expression of CFAR's commitment to the next generation of HIV investigators and are designed to ensure that their future work will be of the highest scientific and ethical quality.
