The purpose of the Baylor-UTHouston CFAR Developmental Core is to foster the development of HIV/AIDS-related research at Baylor and UTHouston through investigator-initiated pilot project awards and the support of interdisciplinary research projects. This Core has an impressive record of accomplishments. In the current funding period (2004-2008), $605,000 in Developmental pilot awards supported 17 projects on basic, clinical, and behavioral science research topics. These awards led to external funding totaling $11.8 million, representing nearly 20-fold leveraging of CFAR funds invested. For the longer period since the establishment of the CFAR (1995-2008), CFAR Developmental grants have resulted in external funding of $24.3 million that reflected 18.7-fold leveraging of invested funds. The Developmental Core also supports the development of Scientific Programs that draw on strengths, opportunities, and expertise at our CFAR. We have identified "HIV-Associated Malignancies" as a new Scientific Program that involves collaboration with the Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center at Baylor. A mechanism of "Collaborative Core Initiatives" is used to target specific interdisciplinary research opportunities at our CFAR. Allocations of Developmental funds among the various developmental programs each year will be determined by the CFAR Internal Advisory Committee. Awards for specific projects are made following a rigorous peer review system. The CFAR Developmental Core offers a comprehensive proactive mentoring program to assist in the career development of junior investigators involved in HIV/AIDS research; one-on-one mentoring is required for all junior faculty who apply for Developmental awards. The Core is led by Dr. Janet Butel, Director, and by Dr. Jagannadha Sastry, Associate Director, UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Sastry is a new appointment with this submission.

贝勒-休斯顿大学 CFAR 发展核心的目的是通过研究者发起的试点项目奖励和跨学科研究项目的支持，促进贝勒和休斯顿大学艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关研究的发展。该核心拥有令人印象深刻的成就记录。在当前资助期间（2004-2008），605,000 美元的发展试点奖励支持了基础、临床和行为科学研究主题的 17 个项目。这些奖项带来了总计 1180 万美元的外部资金，相当于所投资 CFAR 资金的近 20 倍杠杆。自 CFAR 成立以来的较长时期内（1995-2008 年），CFAR 发展赠款已带来 2,430 万美元的外部资金，反映了投资资金的 18.7 倍杠杆。发展核心还支持利用我们 CFAR 的优势、机会和专业知识来开发科学计划。我们已将“艾滋病毒相关恶性肿瘤”确定为一项新的科学计划，涉及与贝勒丹·L·邓肯癌症中心的合作。我们的 CFAR 使用“协作核心计划”机制来针对特定的跨学科研究机会。每年各个发展项目之间的发展资金分配将由 CFAR 内部咨询委员会决定。具体项目的奖项是根据严格的同行评审制度颁发的。 CFAR 发展核心提供全面的主动指导计划，以协助参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的初级研究人员的职业发展；所有申请发展奖的初级教师都需要一对一的指导。 该核心由 UT M.D. 安德森癌症中心主任 Janet Butel 博士和副主任 Jagannadha Sastry 博士领导。 Sastry 博士是本次提交的新任命。
