## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT:
The UCLA SPORE in Prostate Cancer Developmental Research Program (DRP) serves as a source of
seed funding and timely mechanism to expand discovery within the SPORE. The overall Specific Aims of
the DRP are: 1) to encourage and explore innovative translational research ideas that focus on etiology,
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer; 2) to fund research with the potential to advance the
translational research goals of the overall SPORE. These funds will be targeted to areas of unmet need
identified by the SPORE leadership; and 3) to encourage successful researchers working in other fields to
focus their expertise toward the development of innovative translational projects in prostate cancer
research.
Funds from the DRP are essential to the long-term growth and vitality of the Prostate Cancer Program. With
these funds, we are able to support innovative projects by new and established investigators, which are
critical to the generation of new ideas in prostate cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The Prostate
SPORE's DRP is supplemented by institutional funds to allow for rapid funding of important new initiatives
within the scope of our overall SPORE research goals. Institutional funding has been secured for SPORE
project and core support, as well as to provide supplemental funds for the DRP budget, allowing for the
SPORE program to support a broad range of promising projects. The priority for funding will be those
initiatives considered of highest scientific merit and with translational potential and relevance to the overall
research mission of the UCLA Prostate SPORE. After initial review by the DRP Selection Committee, the
Executive Committee approves the funding line and determines priorities for use of the DRP funds.
Applicants are funded for a maximum of two years, except under unusual circumstances and based on
documented progress, in which an additional year of funding may be needed to obtain extramural funding or
to be promoted to a major research project within the SPORE.
