Pilot and Feasibility Program: Summary The Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Program has been major pillar of success for the UCSF-NORC, and we expect it to be a critical element of it's future growth and development. This program annually provides $50,000 of funding to a minimum of 3 proposals that are exploratory in nature. P&F Awards allow applicants to collect the preliminary data for subsequent grant applications that are needed to for these investigators to develop sustained, long-term new research directions. The intentions of this program relate directly to the major UCSF- NORC goal of strengthening a growing interactive community of Obesity & Nutrition researchers by: − Helping new investigators and junior faculty establish NORC-relevant research programs − Attracting scientists with established programs in other areas of research into the fields of nutritional sciences, obesity, and related disorders. − Fostering highly innovative techniques, tools, and directions in basic and clinical obesity- and nutrition- related research, including clinical studies in minority and other underserved patient groups. − Developing new and innovative collaborations among NORC investigators and between NORC investigators and faculty members from other disciplines. A straightforward guideline-driven review process is used to select P&F proposal for funding. The request for applications is conducted through a UCSF-wide website, the Research Allocation Program, that today lists over 30 intramural funding opportunities. UCSF investigators routinely turn to this site to identify intramural research opportunities, which ensures that the NORC P&F program is able to reach its primary target of junior investigators and those new to the nutrition, obesity and metabolism field. The review process involves an initial assessment of each application by an ad hoc internal NORC committee that includes the UCSF-NORC P&F Program Director and the Directors of the other NORC Programs, after which promising applications are sent out for review by extramural academic researchers knowledgeable about the types of projects being proposed, and also often involved with intramural P&F programs at their own institutions. After scores are returned, applications are ranked and the initial intramural committee allocates grants accordingly, while also ensuring that funded projects reflect a diversity of research areas. The committee also identifies established researchers to mentor P&F awardees who are junior and/or new to the field. The collection of success metrics, regular review of the P&F program by the NORC Executive Committee and advice on P&F funding by our External Board has ensured that the program continues in a high quality manner.

试点和可行性计划：摘要 试点和可行性(P&F)计划一直是加州大学旧金山分校-NORC成功的主要支柱，我们预计 它将成为其未来增长和发展的关键要素。该计划每年提供50,000美元 为至少3个探索性提案提供资金。P&F奖允许申请者领取 后续拨款申请的初步数据，这些数据是这些调查人员制定的 持续、长期的新研究方向。该计划的意图与加州大学旧金山分校的主要项目直接相关- NORC的目标是通过以下方式加强肥胖和营养研究人员日益增长的互动社区： −帮助新的调查人员和初级教员建立与国家海洋研究中心相关的研究项目 −吸引了在营养领域其他研究领域有既定计划的科学家 科学、肥胖和相关的疾病。 −在基础和临床肥胖和营养方面培养高度创新的技术、工具和方向- 相关研究，包括对少数群体和其他服务不足的患者群体的临床研究。 −在NORC调查人员之间以及NORC之间开展新的创新合作 来自其他学科的研究人员和教职员工。 一个直接的指导方针驱动的审查过程被用来选择为资金提供资金的P&F提案。这项请求 申请是通过加州大学旧金山分校的网站进行的，研究分配计划，今天列出了 30多个校内筹资机会。加州大学旧金山分校的调查人员通常会转向这个地点，以确定校内 研究机会，确保NORC P&F计划能够达到其主要目标--初级 研究人员和营养、肥胖和新陈代谢领域的新手。 审查过程包括由NORC内部特设委员会对每一项申请进行初步评估 这包括加州大学旧金山分校-NORC P&F项目主任和NORC其他项目的主任，在 哪些有希望的申请被送出供了解以下情况的校外学术研究人员审查 被提议的项目的类型，也经常涉及内部的P&F计划 机构。成绩退回后，对申请进行排名，并由最初的校内委员会分配 提供相应的赠款，同时也确保资助的项目反映出研究领域的多样性。这个 委员会还确定现有的研究人员来指导初级和/或新手的P&F奖获得者 菲尔德。 成功指标的收集，NORC执行委员会对P&F计划的定期审查，以及 我们外部董事会关于P&F资金的建议确保了该计划以高质量继续下去 举止。
