Pilot Project Program

项目摘要 试点项目计划 综合神经科学中心的试点项目计划将继续建立一个临界质量的 内华达大学雷诺分校神经科学的外部资助的研究人员，并促进访问 通过该中心的四个研究核心设施提供的研究基础设施。该计划将实现 这是通过两种策略实现的。每年将向两名初级神经科学教员提供试点项目资金，以 利用核心设施开展研究项目。项目负责人将接受一名学长的指导 各自领域的专家，重点是从试点项目中获取初步数据，以制定提交材料 获得校外资助金。第二个战略将是为调查人员提供小额试点奖励 更广泛的神经科学和生物医学研究界支持使用这些设施和 每个核心中的服务。这些奖励将再次被优先处理，以允许调查人员获取数据 用于寻求校外资金。这些计划将增加用户基础和核心的影响 用于支持已发表的研究和赠款资金，并将帮助继续建立需求和用户 为核心提供基地，使其能够在科布雷结束前过渡到永久支持的设施 资金问题。

Project Summary Pilot Project Program The Pilot Project Program for the Center of Integrative Neuroscience will continue to build a critical mass of extramurally-funded investigators in neuroscience at the University of Nevada, Reno and facilitate access to the research infrastructure provided through the Center’s four research core facilities. The program will achieve this through two strategies. Pilot project funding will be provided to two junior neuroscience faculty each year to develop research projects utilizing the core facilities. The project leaders will receive mentoring by a senior expert in their area with a focus on acquiring the preliminary data from the pilot project to develop a submission for extramural grant awards. The second strategy will be to provide small pilot awards for investigators within the broader neuroscience and biomedical research community to support fees for using the facilities and services in each of the cores. These awards will again be prioritized to allow investigators to acquire the data needed for pursuing extramural funding. These programs will increase the user base and impact of the cores for supporting both published research and grant funding, and will help continue to build the need and user base for the cores that will allow them to transition to permanent supported facilities by the end of the COBRE funding.
