## Abstract

ABSTRACT: DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS
Developmental Funds support the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) mission directly through
the provision of resources and indirectly by leveraging institutional and philanthropic assets. Collectively, these
resources expand and enhance cancer research across LCCC in the basic, clinical, population and
translational sciences. During the last five years, these funds have been used to make key recruitments and to
launch innovative ideas through pilot project funding. Through these expenditures, the LCCC bolstered
interdisciplinary and translational research efforts. By objective criteria such as extramural grants funded and
junior faculty garnering national awards, LCCC recruitment efforts have been a stunning success. The
competition for pilot project awards occurs twice yearly both with a general call for innovative ideas and
specific RFAs devised by the Senior and Program Leaders to stimulate ideas arising from the LCCC planning
processes. The awards have initiated new research across the clinical, population, translational, and basic
spectrums, again yielding success in seeding extramural grant funding, broad collaborations, and cancer
related publications. As has been the case over the last decade, Developmental Funds have been a key to
growth, innovation, and the Center’s scientific and clinical impact. The Center distributed over $14.0M over the
5 year period and received a return on investment of $77M. LCCC requests $650,000 in this category, per
year, in this renewal application, justified by past success and needs for a growing Center.
