## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY: DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS 
Developmental funds were used in the last cycle for recruiting new investigators, supporting developmental 
projects, creating new shared resources, and helping fund several key staff investigators. Several outstanding 
investigators who received recruitment funds during the project period would not have come to Seattle without 
the extra support that was offered through the availability of CCSG New Investigator Awards, distributed to 
faculty from Fred Hutch (FH), University of Washington (UW), and Seattle Children’s (SC). The availability of 
CCSG Pilot Award funding provides investigators a very tangible benefit of Cancer Consortium membership 
and has stimulated new initiatives and collaborations that would otherwise not have occurred, particularly in 
transdisciplinary science, cancer health disparities, and catchment area health. Funds to catalyze new Shared 
Resource development have afforded Consortium members access to technologies and expertise that would 
otherwise not be sustainable in an individual laboratory or even on an institutional basis. Finally, developmental 
funds help support staff investigators focused on enhancing our community outreach and engagement efforts. 
During the last grant period, Developmental Funds supported the recruitment of 33 productive Consortium 
faculty members in areas of strategic growth and funded 45 Pilot Award projects. Together, these faculty 
members and pilot projects gave rise to a total of 439 publications and over $28M in new follow-on funding. In 
the last cycle, Developmental Funds were instrumental in the formation of the Hutch Data Commonwealth and 
supported two Special Populations Staff Investigators, both of whom continue to lead efforts to reduce 
disparities in underserved populations and one of whom has become the new Director of our Office of 
Community Outreach & Engagement. In this application, we are requesting funds to support future Pilot and 
New Investigator Awards, two new Special Populations Staff Investigators, and a Preclinical Models Shared 
Resource.
