Developmental Research Program

发展研究计划（DRP）将资助小型研究人员发起的项目，直接成本预算在5万至7.5万美元之间。我们保证每年为DRP提供20万美元。联邦SPORE基金将在第一年达到75,000美元，随后几年可能会增加，这取决于资金的可用性。丹娜-法伯癌症研究所的机构承诺每年将提供12.5万美元。我们将尽一切努力为这一数额增加额外的慈善资金。在之前的DF/HCC乳腺孢子资助中，DRPs导致了出版物、资助和临床试验。之前《孢子》的DRP奖励之一构成了该资助项目3的很大一部分的基础。本节描述了征求申请、授予资助、监测研究进展和对正在进行的资助作出决定的过程。DRP有一个透明的同行评议的选择过程，其中纳入了明确的资助决策标准。监督这一过程并选择获奖者的委员会是发展研究计划和职业发展奖（DRP/CDP）治理和审查委员会。DRP将发起广泛的提案征集，以确保最有前途的早期研究项目获得有价值的资助，所有DF/HCC成员机构的研究人员都有资格提交提案。DF/HCC有一个庞大而有才华的研究小组，可以提供大量的申请供您选择，我们期待对每一个已宣布的申请请求作出强有力的回应。

The Developmental Research Program (DRP) will fund small investigator-initiated projects with direct cost budgets of between $50,000-75,000. We are guaranteeing $200,000 per year for the DRP. Federal SPORE funds will make up $75,000 in the first year, with possible increases in subsequent years depending upon the availability of funds. Institutional commitment from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute will provide $125,000 per year. Every effort to add additional philanthropic dollars to this amount will be made. In the previous DF/HCC Breast SPORE Grants, DRPs led to publications, grants, and clinical trials. One of the DRP awards from the previous SPORE has formed the basis of a large portion of Project 3 of this grant. The process for soliciting applications, awarding grants, monitoring research progress, and making decisions about ongoing funding are described in this section. The DRP has a transparent peer-reviewed selection process that incorporates defined criteria for funding decisions. The committee that oversees the process and selects the award recipients is the Developmental Research Program and Career Development Awards (DRP/CDP) Governance and Review Committee. The DRP will initiate a broad call for proposals to ensure the most promising early-phase research projects to receive meritorious funding, and investigators at all DF/HCC member institutions will be eligible to submit proposals. The DF/HCC has a large and talented investigator group to provide a wealth of applications from which to choose, and we anticipate a robust response to each and every request for applications that is announced.
