This program will be used to promote the exploration of innovative ideas through the funding of pilotprojects proposed by independent investigators. The program will not support projects by postdoctoralfellows, clinical fellows, and graduate students. The program will also not support extensions of existingfull projects. It can, however, support the establishment of a new core, to establish a short-termcollaboration, or to establish a contract service required by the SPORE.The developmental research program will provide guidance, advise, evaluation, and funding for up to threepilot projects per year. The goal for each pilot project is to generate sufficient high-quality preliminary datarelevant in the field of lung cancer prevention, treatment, basic research, or applied research to allow forsubmission of an independent project to the NIH or other federal agency for funding.
