# Developmental Research Program

> **NIH NIH P50** · JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY · 2024 · $157,200

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
The Developmental Research Program (DRP) is a special feature of the SPORE grant that allows sponsored
institutions to fund important new pilot projects with promising translational potential, to generate sufficient
preliminary data for an independently funded NIH grant. This is a crucial part of our SPORE as it provides a
pipeline and testing ground for novel substrates for translational impact. These projects are intended to last one
year with the possibility of a second year of support with the demonstration of sufficient progress and are
budgeted with the intention that the majority of the funds be spent on supplies, rather than salary support. Pilot
projects that make significant progress and are deemed to be capable of high translational impact will be
considered for promotion to full SPORE projects. To be eligible, the applicant must have a current academic
appointment at any of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. Applicants must hold an M.D., or Ph.D. degree or
both. The applicants are expected to provide evidence of a significant research commitment (at least 15% effort
commitment) to ensure that the proposal can in fact be addressed in an effective and productive way. As many
as 10 Research Awards will be funded annually, two will be Developmental Research Projects supported by
funds budgeted within the SPORE, and the remainder through funds available through The Patrick C. Walsh
Prostate Cancer Research Fund. The Developmental Research Program will be maintained throughout the grant
period.
