CORE--PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

拟议中心的一些成员已经参与了由NIA或其他来源资助的与衰老有关的研究。然而，一些成员目前没有从事与老龄化相关的资助项目，但有兴趣在这一领域开展研究和提出建议。核心B旨在鼓励、促进和支持制定新的研究路线和向国家臭氧机构提交的建议。根据RFA，核心B将为有望在两年或更短时间内向NIA提交R01建议的研究提供资金。这笔资金是该中心极其重要的一部分，因为它为那些已经致力于老龄问题的成员创造了强大的激励机制，促使那些已经致力于老龄问题的成员继续这样做；并鼓励尚未开始致力于老龄问题的成员和其他教职员工将他们的研究转向与老龄相关的主题。它还将允许学者在他们的研究方向上更具创新性，允许他们有时间和资源探索新的方向。核心B试点项目还将利用核心A的资源(编制数据访问方案等)。核心B供资的潜在项目的评价和分类将由咨询委员会在核心A进行。

Some members of the proposed Center are already engaged in aging related research funded by NIA or by other sources. However, some members are not currently working on aging related funded projects, but are interested in developing research and proposals in this area. Core B is intended to encourage, facilitate and support the development of new research lines and proposals to NIA. In accordance with the RFA, Core B will provide funding for research that is expected to lead to R01 proposals to NIA within two years or less. This funding is an extremely important part of the Center, because it creates strong incentives for those members who are already working on aging to continue to do so; and for members and other faculty who have not yet begun working on aging to redirect their research toward aging-related topics. It will also permit scholars to be more innovative in their research directions, by allowing them the time and resources to explore new directions. Core B pilot projects will also draw on the resources of Core A (programming data access, etc.) And the evaluation and section of potential projects for Core B funding will be undertaken by the Advisory Committee in Core A.
