RMRCE Devlopmental Research Projects

摘要 发展研究项目是区域VIII RCE的组成部分。每年最多资助五个发展项目，为期一年，每个项目的预算高达10万美元。这些可能是高风险项目，为开发新的方法、试剂或模型系统提供令人兴奋的潜力，这些方法、试剂或模型系统将促进为国家提供新的诊断、治疗和疫苗。 生物防御的努力发展项目还将为向供资机构提交提案提供关键的初步数据。这些发展项目将用于扩大研究的范围，并增加参与RCE的科学家和机构的代表性。MOC将每年向第八区机构的科学家征求建议。RFA将通过RCE网站发送给所有RCE参与者、计划指导委员会成员和VPR 第八区其他机构办公室。后两个小组将对各自机构的所有潜在RCE参与者和计划进行独特的监督，并将确保各自机构的发展项目即将到来。每年在项目审查期间，主运行中心和科学指导和审查委员会将审查拟议的和现有的发展项目。最有前途的项目，这是符合战略计划和区域八RCE的方案增强，将被选中的资金。以前资助的发展项目将在一年后进行审查。如果有重大的新潜力， 如果提出了方案开发，将考虑将相应的开发项目作为研究项目建立。那些缺乏生产力或项目开发潜力的项目将被终止。这一过程将为RCE计划的增长和生产力提供最大的灵活性，并允许RCE 利用新技术、人才和机会促进计划的发展，并满足特定的需求和目标。

Abstract The Developmental Research Projects are an integral component of the Region VIII RCE. A maximum of five developmental projects funded each year for one year with budgets of up to 100K each. These will likely be high risk projects offering exciting potential for the development of novel approaches, reagents, or models systems that will facilitate the provision of new diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines for the national biodefense effort. Developmental projects will also provide critical preliminary data for submission of proposals to funding agencies. These developmental projects will be used to expand the range, scope of the research and also to increase the representation of scientists and institutions involved in the RCE. The MOC will solicit proposals annually from scientists in Region VIII institutions. The RFA will be sent to all RCE participants via the RCE Website, to the members of the Program Guidance Committee, and to the VPR office of other Region VIII institutions. These latter two groups will have a unique oversight of all potential RCE participants and programs in their respective institutions and will ensure that developmental projects will be forthcoming from their respective institutions. Each year during the program review, the MOC and Scientific Steering and Review Committee will review both the proposed and existing developmental projects. The most promising projects, which are consistent with the strategic plan and program enhancement of the Region VIII RCE, will be selected for funding. Developmental projects previously funded will be reviewed after one year. If significant new potential for program development is presented, the respective developmental project will be considered for establishment as a research project. Those lacking productivity or potential for program development will be discontinued. This process will provide maximum flexibility for RCE program growth and productivity, and will allow the RCE to avail itself of new technologies, talents, and opportunities for program growth and to address specific needs and goals.
