Pilot/Exploratory Studies Core (PESC)

PESC摘要/摘要 匹兹堡OAIC的试点/探索性研究核心(PESC)的目标是促进和资助 在机动性、平衡性和老龄化及其相互作用等主题领域进行创新的多学科试点研究。 一个新的特别关注的焦点是帮助促进基础和临床方法之间的合作和集成 胡椒中心的科学重点。 PESC的具体目标是： 1.推动流动性、平衡性、老龄化等多学科创新研究。 2.发挥桥梁作用，促进基础老年科学、临床和社区研究之间的互动 企业。 3.鼓励补充剂利用正在进行的基础、翻译、临床和社区研究。 4.推广运动、平衡、衰老研究的创新技术和方法。 5.与匹兹堡大学的其他团体合作(例如临床和翻译科学研究所和 老年研究所)，也提供试点研究奖励，以增加对个别试点项目的总体资金。 6.推广、评估和选择资助试点项目(每年40,000美元)、小型区域经济合作试点(最高10,000美元)、 和发展项目(每年35,000-70,000美元)。 7.执行获奖后流程(例如，监测遵守道德、安全、隐私、跟踪后续 生产力和其他相关事项)，用于标准、小型REC试验项目和开发项目。 在续期的第一年，我们建议资助四项标准试验研究计划和一项小型可再生能源试验计划。 展示匹兹堡OAIC的发展领域(促进基础/翻译/临床互动和 对流动性、平衡性和老龄化研究的多学科方法)。

PESC Summary/Abstract The goal of the Pilot/Exploratory Studies Core (PESC) of the Pittsburgh OAIC is to promote and fund innovative multidisciplinary pilot research in the topic areas of mobility, balance and aging and their interfaces. A new particular focus is to help spur collaboration and integration between basic and clinical approaches to the Pepper Center’s scientific emphasis. The Specific Aims of the PESC are to: 1. Promote innovative multidisciplinary research on mobility, balance and aging. 2. Act as a bridge to foster interactions between the basic geroscience, clinical and community-based research enterprises. 3. Encourage supplements to leverage ongoing basic, translational, clinical and community-based studies. 4. Promote innovative techniques and methods for research on mobility, balance and aging. 5. Partner with other University of Pittsburgh groups (e.g. Clinical and Translational Science Institute and Aging Institute) that also offer pilot study awards to increase overall funding for individual pilot projects. 6. Promote, evaluate, and select for funding Pilot projects ($40,000 per year), Small REC pilots (up to $10,000), and Developmental projects ($35,000-$70,000 per year). 7. Conduct post-award processes (e.g., monitor adherence to ethics, safety, privacy, tracking of subsequent productivity and other related matters) for Standard, Small REC pilot projects, and Developmental projects. In year one of the renewal, we propose to fund four standard Pilot research projects and one small REC Pilot demonstrating the Pittsburgh OAIC’s growth areas (fostering basis/translational/clinical interactions and multidisciplinary approaches to mobility, balance and aging research).
