# DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS (Core-002)

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY – DEVELOPMENTAL FUNDS 
Developmental funds come from two sources: the CCSG and the institution. SCI has expended 
approximately $27 million (direct) in developmental funds in the current grant period for recruitment, seed 
grant awards, and developing cores. Funds for recruitment were used to substantially improve capabilities 
in solid tumor translational research and population sciences. New recruits have been able to secure 
significant peer reviewed cancer research funding since joining SCI. Funds for the seed grant program 
awarded in 2009-2013 have produced an 8:1 return on investment, as measured by follow-on grant funding. 
Funds for new cores have supported the Stanford Cancer Institute Research Database (SCIRDB), a data 
warehouse that combines de-identified patient data with other relevant data to facilitate research related to 
patient outcomes. SCIRDB has now been integrated into the Biostatistics and Research Informatics Shared 
Resource. Funds for developing cores have also been used to initiate a biorepository to support large 
national and international consortium studies related to population sciences, as well as the expansion of the 
genomics core. 
SCI expects to spend $43 million in developmental funds in the next grant period, of which $1.25 million 
(total direct) is requested from the CCSG. Developmental funds will continue to support recruitments, seed 
grants, and developing cores. Top recruitment priorities include faculty in the areas of solid tumor 
translational research, the behavioral sciences and survivorship research, and immunology. $10 million is 
allocated for seed grants. Funds will continue to be used to develop the biorepository as a shared resource 
and a new organoid core facility.
