Pilot Projects Program

项目摘要-试点项目计划(PPP) 太平洋西北翻译环境健康研究试点项目计划(PPP) 将进行短期投资以扩大EHS研究，以提高我们对关系的理解 在环境暴露、人类生物学和疾病中。PPP在中心内发挥着核心作用 业务预算为220,000美元(占中心预算的22%)。这将允许PPP在 每年至少8个新的环境健康科学研究项目(每个项目最高25,000美元)。这个 PPP正在采用已知的促进生物医学科学创新和研究转化的战略。 通过征集3种不同奖项的申请，中心将实现以下目标：1)吸引 并支持高素质的新手和中级科学家加强EHS研究的多样性；2)促进 通过促进沟通、协作、方法改进和 探索新的环境健康问题的敏捷性；以及3)通过建立 与利益攸关方(例如，卫生机构、环境监管机构、社区团体、非 利润、临床医生、制造商、制药公司或部落)共同生成可导致 可操作的EHS知识。这些行动不仅将促进对环境如何影响的发现 人类生物学和健康，也为预防和干预战略提供信息，可以改善健康 个人、社区和人口。

PROJECT SUMMARY – Pilot Projects Program (PPP) The Pacific Northwest Center for Translational Environmental Health Research Pilot Projects Program (PPP) will make short-term investments to expand EHS research to improve our understanding of the relationships among environmental exposures, human biology, and disease. The PPP plays a central role within the Center and has an operating budget of $220,000 (22% of the Center's budget). This will allow the PPP to support at least 8 new environmental health science research projects per year (maximum of $25,000 per project). The PPP is embracing known strategies for promoting innovation and research translation in biomedical science. By soliciting applications for 3 different award types, the Center will accomplish the following aims: 1) Attract and support highly qualified new and mid-career scientists to enhance diversity of EHS research; 2) Promote innovation in EHS research by fostering communication, collaboration, methodological improvements, and agility to explore emerging environmental health issues; and 3) Accelerate research translation by building partnerships with stakeholders (e.g. health agencies, environmental regulators, community groups, non- profits, clinicians, manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms, or Tribes) to co-generate information that can lead to actionable EHS knowledge. These actions will not only advance discovery of how the environment affects human biology and health but also inform prevention and intervention strategies that can improve the health of individuals, communities, and populations.
