New York Regional Center for Diabetes Translation Research

试点和可行性计划 纽约地区糖尿病翻译中心的试点和可行性研究（P&F）计划 研究（NY-CDTR）旨在主要支持早期研究者（ESI），但也建立了 其他领域的研究人员进行糖尿病、肥胖症和相关心脏代谢紊乱的研究。 调查与糖尿病和肥胖有关的健康差异的建议，以及这些领域与 COVID-19，受到鼓励。在我们最初的赠款奖励周期，我们超过了规定的平均两个 每年为一个P&F计划提供13个P&F资助的赠款。为了这次续约 应用程序，我们介绍了一个协调的倡议，以解决种族差异，在获得NIH资助的R 01 赠款。我们通过我们的网站和电子邮件向我们的成员和相关人员征求P&F建议 在我们的成员机构部门征求P&F的建议，以及通过我们的丰富计划 和核心。总的来说，P&F计划的目标是促进糖尿病或糖尿病研究的创新领域。 通过支持和指导个人P&F接受者，并鼓励纽约之间的合作， CDTR成员。我们的具体目标是：1）举办年度P&F奖助金竞赛。我们有 加强了我们的机构合作，并完善了我们的年度竞争程序，以增加 响应申请的数量每年至少为10个。我们将扩大我们的年度发行量 通过与其他NIH支持的中心的新合作征求P&F提案。2)增加 P&F获奖者和早期研究者使用CDTR资源（核心服务和丰富 编程）。我们正在与核心和丰富的领导者合作，以提高认识和使用 NY-CDTR核心服务和计划资源，并促进P&F获奖者确定的网络 作为2020年春季会员调查的优先事项。3)客观评价P&F获奖者的进步。我们 我们正在正式确定所有P&F项目的评估指标，包括季度检查表类型的状态更新 报告所取得的里程碑。4)增加URiM调查员的P&F申请， 评估相关的供资指标。P&F计划将与丰富计划和 行政核心参与会员网络，管道计划和多样性补充补助金 接受者征求P&F建议。我们将评估URiM早期研究者的障碍和促进因素， 获得R 01资助。

Pilot & Feasibility Program The Pilot and Feasibility Study (P&F) Program of the New York Regional Center for Diabetes Translation Research (NY-CDTR) is designed to support primarily early stage investigators (ESIs), but also established investigators in other fields to conduct research in diabetes, obesity and related cardiometabolic disorders. Proposals that investigate health disparities related to diabetes and obesity, and these areas as they relate to COVID-19, are encouraged. During our initial grant award cycle, we exceeded the mandated average of two funded proposals per year for a P&F program, having a total of 13 P&F funded grants. For this renewal application, we introduce a coordinated initiative to address racial disparities in obtaining NIH funded R01 grants. We solicit P&F proposals through our website and by email reaching out to our members and relevant departments at our member institutions to solicit P&F proposals as well as through our Enrichment Program and Cores. Overall, the goals of the P&F Program are to foster innovative areas of inquiry in diabetes or obesity both by supporting and mentoring individual P&F recipients and to encourage collaboration among NY- CDTR members. Our Specific Aims are: 1) To conduct annual P&F grant competitions. We have increased our institutional collaboration and refined our procedures for our annual competition to increase the number of responsive applications to a minimum of ten per year. We will expand the circulation of our annual solicitation for P&F proposals through new collaborations with other NIH-supported Centers..2) To increase P&F awardee and early stage investigator use of CDTR resources (Core services and Enrichment programming). We are collaborating with the Core and Enrichment leaders to increase awareness and use of NY-CDTR Core services and Program resources and to facilitate networking, which P&F awardees identified as a priority on the Spring 2020 Membership Survey. 3) To objectively evaluate P&F awardee progress. We are formalizing our evaluation metrics for all P&F projects to include a quarterly checklist-type status update that reports on milestones achieved. 4) To increase P&F applications from URiM investigators and evaluate relevant funding metrics. The P&F program will collaborate with the Enrichment Program and the Administrative Core to engage the membership network, pipeline programs, and Diversity Supplement grant recipients to solicit P&F proposals. We will assess barriers and facilitators for URiM early stage investigators in obtaining R01 funding.
