## Abstract

DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS – PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Developmental Funds support two University of Virginia (UVA) Cancer Center activities: Faculty Recruitment
and Pilot Research Projects. These activities enable the Cancer Center to implement its long-term strategic
goals, which depend on recruiting the best people and on supporting them, as well as existing faculty, to
perform the highest quality cancer-focused research. The exceptional quality of the new recruits and the
multiple positive Pilot Research Project outcomes—as measured by resulting research papers, peer-reviewed
grants, and clinical trials—all bear witness to the success of UVA Cancer Center Developmental Fund
investments. Such accomplishments reflect the sound stewardship of these funds. In addition, the success has
served as a stimulus for obtaining additional philanthropic support for developmental activities, thus leveraging
NCI dollars.
