The health of any field of endeavor is measured in large part by the commitment of its members to nurturing the development of young investigators. The STD field is no exception, and the investigators who comprise the Sexually Transmitted Infections-Topical Microbicide Cooperative Research Centers have trained a new generation of STD investigators who have matured into outstanding, independent researchers. The University of Washington has had an active Developmental Awards Program since the inception of the STD CRC's in 1991, supporting 22 new investigators. Of these, 19 (86%) currently hold faculty (or equivalent) appointments and continue to work in STD research; 14 (64%) serve as principal investigators on research grants, including NIH-funded R01 's, P01's, and K awards; most of the others are co-investigators. Recipients of developmental funds at other STD-CRC sites have demonstrated similar success. The new STI-TM CRC's will have a single Developmental Awards Program serving the STD community. This represents an important and broad commitment to the development of young investigators to take the place of those of us who are balding or graying (or both). This application proposes that the University of Washington serve as the administrative center for the new STI-TM CRC Developmental Awards Program. The administrative framework for a Developmental Awards Program is already in place at the University of Washington, and the Director has many years of experience in the direction of such a program. The proposed program, developed in consultation with the Principal Investigators of the competing STI-TM CRC's, will fund four Developmental Awards per year, focusing on young investigators who are in the critical period of transition from fellowship to faculty status and are collecting data required to compete successfully for their first independent grant. To optimize the success of the program, these awards will be mentored awards, similar to the NIH K awards, so that all aspects of career development will be addressed during the award period. Applications, solicited from both STI-TM CRC and external research sites, will be reviewed by the STI-TM CRC Executive Committee, and progress will be monitored by this committee.

任何领域的健康状况在很大程度上取决于其成员对培养年轻研究人员发展的承诺。性病领域也不例外，性传播感染-外用杀菌剂合作研究中心的研究人员培养了新一代的性病研究人员，他们已成长为优秀的独立研究人员。 自 STD CRC 于 1991 年成立以来，华盛顿大学一直有一项积极的发展奖励计划，为 22 名新研究人员提供支持。其中，19 人 (86%) 目前担任教员（或同等职位）并继续从事性病研究； 14 名 (64%) 担任研究资助的主要研究者，包括 NIH 资助的 R01、P01 和 K 奖；其他大多数人都是共同调查员。其他 STD-CRC 站点的发展资金接受者也取得了类似的成功。 新的 STI-TM CRC 将有一个为 STD 社区服务的单一发展奖励计划。这代表了对年轻研究人员发展的重要而广泛的承诺，以取代我们这些秃顶或灰白（或两者兼而有之）的研究人员。该申请建议华盛顿大学作为新的 STI-TM CRC 发展奖励计划的行政中心。华盛顿大学已经制定了发展奖励计划的管理框架，并且主任在该计划的指导方面拥有多年的经验。拟议的计划是与竞争性 STI-TM 的首席研究员协商制定的 CRC 每年将资助四项发展奖，重点关注处于从研究员身份过渡到教职人员身份的关键时期的年轻研究人员，他们正在收集成功竞争第一个独立资助所需的数据。为了优化该计划的成功，这些奖项将是指导奖，类似于 NIH K 奖，以便在颁奖期间解决职业发展的各个方面。 STI-TM CRC 执行委员会将审查从 STI-TM CRC 和外部研究机构征集的申请，并监督进展情况。
