Developmental Funds

7.5.1总体描述 UMCCC要求提供26万美元的发展资金，占其预算直接费用总额的9%。这些资金对于UMCCC至关重要，以便： 开发疼痛研究计划的试点项目（50，000美元） 提供资金支持建立三个新的发展中共享服务（60，000美元） 每年资助五个新的共享服务试点项目（50，000美元） 进行流行病学征聘（100 000美元） 发展资金将是必要的UMCCC的领导招聘教师在高优先领域建立的战略规划过程。此外，促进跨学科研究将需要种子资金，用于在将不同学科的研究人员聚集在一起并利用UMCCC共享服务的领域提供试点赠款支持。最后，核心赠款支持将是必要的，以进一步建立基本的共享服务，如成像，分子病理学和高通量筛选。在未来5年内，来自P30赠款的发展资金将继续由马里兰州的CRFP和美国癌症协会（ACS）的额外资金来利用。发展资金的分配将通过（a） UMCCC内部的战略规划过程，由UMCCC研究理事会进行同行审查和批准;（B）在符合高级领导层制定的标准的预定领域进行招聘。2008年NCI网站访问报告给了这个部分一个优秀到非常好的评级。NCI认为，这些要求是合理的，这些资金将增加UMCCC在开发项目和共享服务方面的大量投资。NCI指出，对这些合并投资的计划使用的描述缺乏对两个开发项目和四个额外共享服务的足够关注和优先顺序。

7.5.1 Overall Description UMGCC requests developmental funds amounting to $260,000, or 9 percent of the total direct costs of its budget. These funds are essential for UMGCC to: ¿ Pilot projects for Developing Pain Studies Program ($50,000) ¿ Provide funds to support the establishment of three new developing shared sen/ices ($60,000) ¿ Fund five new pilot projects for Shared Services annually ($50,000) ¿ Conduct recruiting for epidemiology ($100,000) Developmental funds will be necessary for UMGCC's leadership to recruit faculty in high-priority areas established by the strategic planning process. In addition, the promotion of Interdisciplinary research will require seed money for pilot grant support in areas that bring investigators of different disciplines together and utilize UMGCC's shared services. Finally, core grant support will be necessary for further establishing essential shared services, such as imaging, molecular pathology, and high-throughput screening. Developmental funds from the P30 Grant will continue to be leveraged by additional funds from Maryland's CRFP and the American Cancer Society (ACS) over the next 5 years. Allocation of developmental funds will be through (a) the strategic-planning process internal to UMGCC, with peer review and approval of the UMGCC Research Council; and (b) recruitment in predefined areas that meet the criteria established by senior leadership. The 2008 NCI Site Visit Report gave this section an Excellent to Very Good rating. NCI thought that requests were well justified and the monies would augment the substantial investment that UMGCC had made in developing programs and shared services. NCI noted the description of the planned usage of these combined investments lacked adequate focus and prioritization of two developing programs and four additional shared services.
