## Abstract

PILOT PROJECTS AND TRANS-NETWORK ACTIVITIES CORE - SUMMARY
The goal of the Pilot Projects and Trans-Network Activities Core is to support the development of research
projects using PDX models that will advance the mission of the PDTC and PDXNet. The core will help to foster
collaborative, translational research both within the PDTC and across the PDXNet by establishing two annual
$50,000 awards. The goal of these supported projects will be to support the translational goals of the PDTC to
advance translational research through the use of PDX models or, research methods to enhance experimental
validation and reproducibility across PDTCs and the PDXNet. Pilot projects may support the development and
integration of new technologies into the PDXNet program. Collaborative, PDXNet pilot projects may also be used
for Cross-Network studies to establish best practice standards for research using PDX models. The Core will
also engage non-PDXNet investigators, providing collaborative opportunities to use well-characterized PDX
models that recapitulate human disease and further the reach of the NCI PDXNet program.
