Developmental Funds

核心赠款发展基金的灵活性为主任提供了支持不断发展的 支持癌症中心领导人确立的目标的机会。 主任承诺核心赠款发展资金，用于为符合以下条件的教师候选人提供启动支持： 为该中心的研究计划做出重大贡献提供最有前途的机会。 根据为未来发展确定的优先事项，将根据以下因素选择候选人： 承诺他们的研究坚持进行基础癌症研究，导致翻译或有助于 翻译产生的应用研究。 试点项目是支持早期探索的重要机制，有助于开展研究， 通过癌症中心的翻译发现使命。一个协调的过程，类似于NIH的研究 确保中心的资源得到有效利用。这一进程已经演变成 更好地加强以癌症为重点的合作项目，包括跨学科和跨学科的目标 具有转化终点的基础和临床研究。 共享服务是癌症中心用来鼓励 研究人员利用合作机会，将研究重点放在癌症上。 科学机会是一个强大的诱惑，但当它与财政利益相结合时， 放大了我们将为新的共享服务分配资源，这些服务将对 我们的研究工作和支持领域的转化潜力为未来的发展目标。

The flexibility of Core Grant Development funds provides the Director with the ability to support evolving opportunities that support the goals established by the leaders of the Cancer Center. The Director commits core grant development funds for start-up support for the faculty candidates that provide the most promising opportunities for significant contributions to the research programs of the Center. In concert with the priorities established for future development, candidates will be chosen because of the promise that their research holds to conduct basic cancer research leading to translation or to contribute to applied research resulting from translation. Pilot projects are an important mechanism to support early explorations leading to research that will fulfill the discovery through translation mission of the cancer center. A coordinated process, similar to an NIH study section, ensures that the resources of the Center are used effectively. The process has evolved to align better with the goal of strengthening cancer-focused collaborative projects that include intra- and transdisciplinary basic and clinical research with translational end-points. Shared Services are one of the most important mechanisms that the Cancer Center uses to encourage investigators to take advantage of opportunities for collaboration and focus their research on cancer. Scientific opportunity is a powerful enticement, but when it is paired with fiscal benefit, the opportunity is magnified. We will allocate resources for new shared services that will have a significant impact on the translational potential of our research efforts and support areas targeted for future development.
