Developmental Funds

财务基金 对于癌症中心支持补助金的下一个5年周期，Kimmel癌症中心要求 每年约40万元的发展资金。这些资金是一个关键的来源， 为KCC提供资金，并为新教师的招聘和试点提供重要的支持来源 项目供资。在下一个周期，所要求的所有资金将仅用于这些目的。 中心范围内的招聘需求已确定在四个领域：结构生物学，辐射 研究和转化生物学，泌尿生殖系统癌症和癌症遗传学。发育 资金将使这些领域的招聘工作得以进行，这不仅将加强具体的需求领域， 还加强方案内和方案间的合作。试点项目筹资倡议 在发展基金的支持下，上一个周期设立的项目也将继续进行。 在上一个周期，发展基金用于支持：1）教师招聘，2） 建立新的共享资源，以及3）支持旨在提交 项目应用程序。这项资助的结果证明了发展的支出 资金是非常有益的。由发展基金招募和支持的新教师 在建立实验室、获得外部同行评审资金方面取得了巨大成功， 开始发表他们的研究成果。发展基金还帮助建立了 两个新的共享资源（微阵列，蛋白质组学和质谱）已被证明是如此 对于癌症中心的研究人员来说，它们将被转化为完整的KCC共享资源， 下一个周期。在顶级同行评审期刊上发表的许多文章都是由 这些新的共享资源。发展基金还协助征聘了 这两种资源的共享。

DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS For the next 5 year cycle of the Cancer Center Support Grant, the Kimmel Cancer Center is requesting approximately $400,000 per year in Developmental Funds. These funds are a critical source of flexible funding for the KCC, and provide a vital source of support for recruitment of new faculty and for pilot project funding. For the next cycle, all the funds requested will be utilized only for those purposes. Center-wide recruitment needs have been identified in four areas: Structural Biology, Radiation Research and Translational Biology, Genito-Urinary Cancer, and Cancer Genetics. Developmental Funds will enable recruitments in these areas, which will not only strengthen specific areas of need, but also enhance intra- and inter-programmatic collaborations. The pilot project funding initiative established in the previous cycle also will be continued with the support of Developmental Funds. During the previous cycle, Developmental Funds were used to support: 1) faculty recruitment, 2) establishment of new shared resources, and 3) support for pilot projects aimed at the submission of program project applications. The results of this funding have proven the expenditure of Developmental Funds to be very beneficial. New faculty recruited with and supported by Developmental Funds have been highly successful in establishing their laboratories, acquiring external, peer-reviewed funding, and starting to publish the results of their studies. Developmental Funds also enabled the establishment of two new shared resources (Microarray, and Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry) which have proven so invaluable to cancer center researchers that they will be transformed into full KCC shared resources in the next cycle. Numerous publications in top peer-reviewed journals have already resulted from the activities of these new shared resources. Developmental Funds also facilitated the recruitment of outstanding new Directors for both of these shared resources.
