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.

在癌症中心支持补助金的接下来的5年周期中，金梅尔癌症中心每年要求大约40万美元的发展基金。这些资金是KCC灵活资金的关键来源，并为招募新教师和试点项目资金提供了至关重要的支持。对于下一个周期，所有要求的资金将仅用于这些目的。 在四个领域中确定了中心招聘的需求：结构生物学，放射研究和翻译生物学，Genito-Crariary Cancer和Cancer Genetics。发展基金将在这些领域招募，这不仅将增强特定需求领域，还可以增强策略内和程序间合作。在上一个周期中建立的试点项目资金计划也将在发展基金的支持下继续进行。 在上一个周期中，使用发展资金来支持：1）教师招聘，2）建立新的共享资源，3）支持旨在提交计划项目申请的试点项目。这笔资金的结果证明了发展基金的支出非常有益。由发展基金招募和支持的新教师在建立实验室，获得外部，同行评审的资金以及 开始发布他们的研究结果。发展基金还能够建立两个新的共享资源（微阵列，蛋白质组学和质谱法），这些资源对癌症中心的研究人员非常宝贵，以至于他们将在下一个周期中将其转换为完整的KCC共享资源。这些新的共享资源的活动已经造成了由同行评审期刊的大量出版物。发展资金还促进了这两种共享资源的杰出新董事的招聘。
