Developmental Funds

堪萨斯大学癌症中心要求CCSG提供发展资金，专门用于试点研究计划，并补充新的招聘方案。 先导研究计划的主要目的是在新的、令人兴奋的和潜在的突破性癌症研究领域为高度创新的研究提案提供支持。试点研究提案必须与癌症相关，不得与任何来源的现有资金重叠(不同的重点和不同的目标)。 最终，目标是让这些基金提供关键的初步数据，以测试新的假设，并评估可能允许该领域快速发展并对基础、临床或转化性研究产生影响的想法的可行性。这些建议的优劣将由KUCC-领导委员会成员评估，并在提供资金之前得到主任的批准。 为了积极建设和改善我们的研究环境，KUCC致力于招聘更多的癌症研究人员，以提高癌症中心的国内和国际地位，增加NCI/癌症相关拨款的数量，填补关键研究职位，并建立四个癌症研究项目。每一次有目的的招聘都旨在推进癌症中心研究计划的科学愿景、使命和目标。申请的资金将用于补充未来癌症中心招聘人员的招聘方案，并将与堪萨斯生物科学管理局的资金相匹配。

The University of Kansas Cancer Center requests CCSG funds for developmental funds to be specifically used for the pilot studies program and to supplement new recruitment packages. The major purpose of the Pilot Studies Program is to provide support for highly innovative research proposals in new, exciting, and potentially breakthrough areas of cancer research. The pilot research proposal must be cancer-related and must not overlap with existing funding from any source (different focus and different aims). Ultimately, the goal is to have these funds provide critical preliminary data to test new hypotheses and assess feasibility of ideas that might allow for rapid advancement in the field and make an impact in basic, clinical, or translational research. The merit of these proposals will be assessed by members of the KUCC-Leadership Council and approved by the Director prior to funding. To actively build and improve our research environment, KUCC is committed to recruiting additional cancer researchers to increase the national and international status of the Cancer Center, enhance the number of NCI/cancer-related grants, fill critical research positions and build the four cancer research programs. Each purposeful hire aims to further the scientific vision, mission, and goals of the Cancer Center research programs. The funds requested will be used to supplement the recruitment packages of future cancer center recruits and will be leveraged by matching with Kansas Bioscience Authority funds.
