Core--PIlot projects

描述：试点项目计划旨在实现三个目标： 1)支持有希望成为有价值资产的新调查人员 到中心；2)支持现有的中心调查人员进行探索 具有高度创新性的项目，可能会吸引新的外部 资助和；3)加强教员之间的互动和合作 在中心内外。这个节目是通过公告来宣传的 对中心成员、对非成员的个人联系以及通过部门 在整个校园里。申请每年提交一次，由 来自中心外的两名科学家最终做出了资助决定 由CRID执行委员会制定。应用程序基于以下因素进行排名 科学价值，与中心目标的相关性，外部资金的潜力， 以及中心成员之间的合作。个人助学金一般是 一年15,000美元，最高20,000美元。将修改试点项目计划 在未来的资助期内，通过邀请将针对 以下领域：动物模型开发、功能基因组学和分子 流行病学。

Description: The Pilot Projects Program is designed to meet three goals: 1) to support new investigators who show promise in becoming valuable assets to the Center; 2) to support established Center Investigators for exploratory projects of a highly innovative nature that are likely to attract new outside funding and; 3) to enhance interaction and collaboration of faculty both within and outside of the Center. The program is publicized by announcements to Center members, individual contact to nonmembers, and through departments throughout the campus. Applications are submitted once a year, reviewed by two scientists from outside the Center with ultimate funding decisions being made by the CRED Executive Committee. Applications are ranked based on scientific merit, relevance to Center goals, potential for extramural funding, and collaboration among Center members. Individual grants are generally $15,000 for 1 year up to $20,000. The Pilot Projects program will be modified in the future funding period by inviting applications that will target the following areas: animal model development, functional genomics, and molecular epidemiology.
