## Abstract

Project Summary
The objective of the Glioma SPORE Developmental Research Program (DRP) is to identify innovative pilot
research projects in glioma that have translational potential. The DRP utilizes a solicitation and review process
to select meritorious pilot projects for funding. The solicitation process capitalizes on an established, extensive
Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) communications infrastructure to widely disseminate an annual
Request for Proposals (RFP). The review process utilizes an experienced panel of DF/HCC glioma scientists.
The DRP provides limited-duration funding for innovative projects that have ultimate translational potential and
could synergize with existing SPORE projects and cores. DF/HCC institutions match DRP funding from this
SPORE to expand the pool of DRP awardees. The DRP applications are judged for their potential as pilot or
collaborative studies that will generate feasibility data and for potential to emerge as full projects in future years
of the SPORE program. The DRP employs a monitoring process to measure progress and outcomes of DRP
projects with clearly established metrics and oversight by the DRP Awards Committee. DRP awardees are
required to present progress reports at the annual SPORE retreat attended by all SPORE Internal and External
Advisory Boards.
