Carolina Center on Population Aging and Health: Pilot Core

抽象核心B 项目开发试点(PDP)核心的总体目标是提供研究 支持、指导和基础设施，以促进启动和成功开展 老龄化方面的创新试点项目，其中许多项目将包括早期阶段或由早期阶段指导 调查人员。此外，核心项目将帮助这些项目发展成为重要的新资金 人口统计学和老龄化经济学的研究。该核心的资源将提供资金 对于特别关注我们中心核心主题的项目：不同背景下的老龄化， 健康、社会和经济生产力，以及切割技术的开发和应用 将边缘测量和方法纳入数据收集和分析。对于早期阶段 调查人员我们将包括一个指导部分，以确保试点的结果 数据将被用于未来的R型或K型融资申请。核心将提供 通过计量和方法资源小组提供方法学和统计支助 由资深教员组成。该小组将帮助项目规划和后续研究。 发展有意义的创新方法的阶段，考虑到该领域的当前状态。 我们预计每年为四个试点项目提供资金。我们将在一年一度的电话会议上征求建议。 提案将由一个常设小组审查，该小组成员轮流，反馈将是 以NIH类型审查的形式提供。当种子赠款接受者完成工作时，他们 建议我们将与他们合作制定并提交完整的建议作为赠款的一部分 建议书开发小组。这个核心将有助于通过以下方式促进关于老龄化的新工作 CCPAH教职员工。

ABSTRACT Core B The overall goal of the Program Development Pilot (PDP) Core is to provide the research support, mentorship and infrastructure that will stimulate the initiation and successful conduct of innovative pilot projects in aging, many of which will include or be directed by early stage investigators. Additionally the Core will help develop these projects into important new funded studies in the demography and economics of aging. Resources for this Core will provide funding for projects with a particular focus on the core themes of our center: aging in diverse contexts, health and social and economic productivity, and the development and application of cutting edge measurements and methods into data collection and analysis. For early stage investigators we will include a mentoring component to ensure that the outcomes of the pilot data are leveraged for future R- or K-type funding applications. The core will provide methodological and statistical support through a Measurement and Methods Resources Panel staffed by senior faculty. This group will help with project planning and at subsequent research stages to develop innovative approaches that make sense given the current state of the field. We anticipate funding four pilot projects per year. We will solicit proposals in an annual call. Proposals will be reviewed by a standing group whose members rotate and feedback will be provided in the form of an NIH-type review. As seed grant recipients complete the work they proposed we will work with them to develop and submit full proposals as part of a Grant Proposal Development Group. This Core will be instrumental in fostering new work on aging by CCPAH faculty.
