## Abstract

Development Core Project Summary 
Our proposed Development Core promotes (a) activities across the academic year, designed for professional 
and institutional integration, and scientific advancement; (b) mentoring, as a way of motivating and inculcating 
good scientific and professional habits across professional generations; and (c) a program for pilot research 
projects—a program targeted at promising research ideas that is also a mechanism for socializing early career 
scientists into the process of seeking competitive funding. We use a combination of existing and new colloquia 
and workshops to create a rich intellectual and scientific environment that dovetails with the exigencies of 
junior faculty life. We focus on activities that are both desirable and feasible, in the sense that they enhance 
the work-time of early career scholars and do not detract or distract from it. Because there are now so many 
more people involved—the Penn PSC has recently recruited a large, promising groups of new assistant 
professors—the potential benefits of each activity are increased via synergy (as well as aggregation).
