PILOT AND FEASIBILIY PROGRAM

描述(根据申请改编)资格：由试点和可行性研究计划支持的研究主要是为华盛顿大学尚未获得糖尿病或内分泌学领域的主要同行评议资助(如R01或K21)的初级教师提供的第一笔资助。资深教职员工也有资格申请，如果他们的项目代表着第一次进入糖尿病研究领域。糖尿病方面的老牌研究人员也有资格，如果他们的目的是测试真正代表与先前研究活动明显背离的创新想法。任何一名研究人员只有一次获得P和F奖的资格，除非第二个P和F奖明显偏离了最初奖项的研究领域。 资助水平：由于NIH对我们的DERC P和F研究项目的资助一直是每年50,000美元，所有P和F项目加起来，到目前为止，对每个项目的支持有限，每年最多为25,000美元。最初的奖项为期一年，但如果第一年取得令人满意的进展，就会提供第二年的资金-S。尽管资金有限，但申请申请的呼声很高，许多有价值的研究项目都得到了支持。由于糖尿病中心对P和F研究的资金增加，建议增加P和F项目的资金水平和获奖数量。计划将新的DERC预算中的200,000美元分配给P和F研究奖。获奖者必须是华盛顿大学教职员工(博士后研究员和研究科学家不符合条件)，并符合既定的标准。奖金将被限制在每年50,000美元，为期两年，但有些可能会更小。这些奖项是基于科学价值，遵循严格的科学审查程序，在过去的申请中一直使用。 新的研究人员奖：DERC研究项目也管理糖尿病研究人员 奖励计划每年为首次进入糖尿病研究的教职员工提供25,000美元。这些奖项被支持给私人DRTP，这是威斯康星州大学为促进糖尿病研究而设立的捐赠基金。资格和评估标准与P和F计划相同。 奖学金：P和F计划还管理McAbee奖学金计划，该计划也是 由DRTP私人资助。

Description (adapted from the application) Eligibility: The research supported by the Pilot and Feasibility Studies Program is primarily intended to be a first grant for junior faculty at the U Washington who have not yet obtained a major peer-reviewed grant (such as an R01 or K21) in the areas of diabetes or endocrinology. Senior faculty members are also eligible to apply if their projects represent first entry into the field of diabetes research. Established investigators in diabetes are also eligible if their purpose is to test innovative ideas that truly represent a clear departure from previous research activity. Any single investigator is eligible to receive a P and F award only once, unless the second P and F is a clear departure from the research area of the original award. Funding level: Since NIH funding to our DERC P and F Studies Program has been $50,000 per year for all P and F projects combined, up to now there has been limited support for each project to a maximum of $25,000 yearly. Awards are made initially for one year, but a second year?s funding is provided if satisfactory progress is made during the first year. Despite these limited funds, there has been a large response to calls for applications and numerous meritorious research projects have been supported. As a result of increased funding to the Diabetes Center for P and F studies, an increase in the funding level and the number of awards in the P and F program is proposed. It is intended that $200,000 of the new DERC budget be allocated to P and F research awards. Recipients must be members of the U. Washington faculty (postdoctoral fellows and research scientists are not eligible) and meet established criteria. The awards will be limited to $50,000 per year for 2 years but some may be smaller. The awards are made on the basis of scientific merit, following rigorous scientific review procedures that have been used in for past applications. New Investigator Awards: The DERC Studies Program also administers the Diabetes Investigator Award Program of $25,000 per year to members of the faculty who are making their first entry into diabetes research. These awards are supported to the private DRTP, an endowed fund of the UW to foster diabetes research. The eligibility and evaluation criteria are the same as the P and F program. Fellowships: The P and F program also administers the McAbee Fellowship Program that is also privately funded by the DRTP.
