Description
LLS's Specialized Center of Research (SCOR) grant program is intended to bring together established investigators from one or several institutions to develop a focused research program, foster new interactions and cooperation, and enhance interdisciplinary research among the participants. The overall goal of this mechanism is to enhance the development of innovative strategies for the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of hematological malignancies. Strategies that move discoveries from the bench to the clinic are of high importance as are integrated translational projects. A major focus is translatability to the clinic within the time frame of the SCOR, or shortly after the grant term ends.Each SCOR is comprised of scientific 3-5 Projects, 2-4 supportive Cores, and an administrative Core. There must be objective evidence of interdisciplinary research and the potential for synergism by linking the various Projects and Cores into a SCOR team. The quality and significance of the Projects and Cores and the enhanced productivity that is likely to be achieved by linking investigators are primary determinants of funding decisions. A SCOR team will be judged as a unit and funding will not be available for otherwise meritorious but non-synergistic parts of an application.
