Project Summary One of the most important programs of our Texas Medical Center Digestive Diseases Center (called DDC) is the Pilot and Feasibility (P/F) Program. The goals of the P/F Program are to provide developmental funds to support (1) young investigators starting a career in gastrointestinal (GI) research, or (2) to foster the development of GI- related research by both junior faculty and established investigators in non-GI related fields in the Texas Medical Center. This is accomplished by supporting investigator-initiated scientific studies to develop preliminary data for new research projects. Novel approaches to studying GI-related areas complementing the scope of our Center are encouraged. Awards are made following a rigorous peer-review system that involves an initial evaluation for scientific merit by a Scientific Review Committee, including the DDC Internal Advisory Committee members and ad hoc scientists in the Texas Medical Center, and the External Advisors of our DDC. This core has a strong record of accomplishments. In the past 10 years, we have supported 68 P/F recipients, of whom 41 have gone on to receive $40,172,685 in external direct cost funding representing a 60% success rate and yielding a 23-fold return on investment (ROI) of DDC funds. We are requesting $100,000/year in years 16-20 to continue this PF program. This funding will be significantly enhanced each year by additional commitments from our three supporting Institutions, including $25,000 from The University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSC), $25,000 from The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) and $115,000 from Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). All investigators whose P/F Applications are approved for funding have priority access to our Cores for 1 year, or for the duration of their award. From 2013-2016, we received between 17-26 applications for each round of awards. To be funded in 2017, and for this competitive renewal application, we received 41 letters of intent and 22 completed applications for review. The top 4 proposals are included in this competitive renewal application to illustrate the breadth and quality of the new GI research our DDC is able to stimulate and facilitate. The PF program has a Director and two Assistant Directors, representing the three institutions (BCM, UTHSC, MDACC), and a Scientific Review Committee. We have several formal processes for soliciting and reviewing PF Proposals. Considerations for review, ranking and funding of PF proposals include project novelty, feasibility, qualifications and productivity of applicants, relationship to our DDC theme, the likelihood that the project will lead to new knowledge and the acquisition of external funding, and use of our DDC cores. Our P/F Program, pediatric and adult-GI training programs that include career-development initiatives open to all DDC members help recruit new faculty and foster collaborative, multidisciplinary interactions among junior and senior DDC investigators.

项目摘要 我们得克萨斯州医学中心消化疾病中心（称为DDC）最重要的计划之一是 试点和可行性（P/F）计划。P/F计划的目标是提供发展资金， (1)年轻的研究人员开始在胃肠道（GI）研究的职业生涯，或（2）促进GI的发展， 相关研究由初级教师和既定的研究人员在非胃肠道相关领域在得克萨斯州医学 中心这是通过支持科研人员发起的科学研究来开发初步数据来实现的 新的研究项目。研究地理信息相关领域的新方法，补充了我们的 中心受到鼓励。奖项是根据严格的同行评审制度，其中包括一个初步的 由科学审查委员会（包括DDC内部咨询委员会）对科学价值进行评价 德克萨斯医学中心的成员和特设科学家，以及我们DDC的外部顾问。这一核心 有着良好的成就记录。在过去10年，我们共资助了68名伤残人士，其中 41个项目获得了40，172，685美元的外部直接成本资金，成功率为60%， DDC基金的投资回报率（ROI）可达23倍。我们要求16-20年每年10万美元， 继续PF计划。这一资金每年将因下列国家的额外承诺而大大增加： 我们的三个支持机构，包括来自德克萨斯大学健康科学中心的25，000美元 （UTHSC），德克萨斯大学医学博士25，000美元安德森癌症中心（MDACC）和115,000美元， 贝勒医学院（Baylor College of Medicine）所有P/F申请获批准拨款的研究人员， 优先访问我们的核心1年，或在他们的奖励的持续时间。从2013年到2016年， 每轮奖项有17-26份申请。将于2017年获得资助，对于这一竞争性续期申请， 我们共收到41份意向书和22份已填妥的申请书。排名前四的提案包括在 这个竞争性的更新申请，以说明新的GI研究的广度和质量，我们的DDC能够 来刺激和促进。PF计划有一名主任和两名助理主任，代表三个 机构（卫生部，UTHSC，MDACC）和科学审查委员会。我们有几个正式的程序 征求和审查PF提案。PF提案的审查、评级和供资考虑因素包括 项目的新奇，可行性，申请人的资格和生产力，与我们DDC主题的关系， 该项目将导致新的知识和外部资金的收购，并使用我们的DDC的可能性 丹我们的P/F计划，儿科和成人GI培训计划，包括职业发展计划 对所有DDC成员开放，帮助招募新的教师，并促进合作，多学科之间的互动 初级和高级DDC调查员。
