The Pilot Research Projects Core will: (a) encourage exploratory and developmental research projects relevant to the mission of the Center by providing support for research projects during their early and conceptual stages of development; (b) facilitate the development and incorporation of new technologies into the Center; and (c) foster collaboration between members of the different scientific programs. Proposed studies should break new ground or extend previous discoveries toward new directions, applications or product development. Emphasis will be placed on studies that take advantage of the unique resources and expertise of scientists and clinicians within the Medical College of Wisconsin and its partner institutions, as well as those that add value to or facilitate work within the proposed projects. An important goal is to entice investigators not currently working on issues related to radiation exposure and treatment to focus on this area. Pilot grant support may be requested for up to two years. The budget may not exceed $200,000 (no more than $100,000/yr). Special application forms have been developed. No preliminary data is required but may be included. Principal Investigators must be either a faculty member in one of the consortium academic institutions or a qualified scientist employed by a non-academic partner company. Co-investigators and collaborators do not have to be at the same institution as the PI or be employed by these institutions. An 8-10 member Research Grants Committee will review pilot grant applications on an annual basis. Reviewers will be provided with a stipend for their efforts. Half the members will be external reviewers, not affiliated with the Center. The Committee will act in the manner of an NIH study section to evaluate the scientific merit of proposals, assign priority scores, and recommend awards to the Executive Committee. Pilot grants will be solicited annually. Both hard copy and electronic announcements will be used to publicize the availability of Pilot Research Grants within academic and non-academic partner institutions. Annual progress reports will be required. Grantees will be monitored for productivity and progress. Successful pilot projects will be considered for conversion to full Research/Development Projects, subject to NIAID approval. The major goals of this Core is to bring new investigators and new ideas into the field of radiological terrorism countermeasures.

试点研究项目核心将： (a) 通过在研究项目的早期和概念发展阶段提供支持，鼓励与中心使命相关的探索性和发展性研究项目； (b) 促进新技术的开发并将其纳入中心； (c) 促进不同科学计划成员之间的合作。拟议的研究应开辟新领域或将先前的发现扩展到新的方向、应用或产品开发。重点将放在利用独特资源和优势的研究上 威斯康星医学院及其合作机构内的科学家和临床医生的专业知识，以及那些为拟议项目增加价值或促进工作的人员的专业知识。一个重要的目标是吸引目前没有研究与辐射暴露和治疗相关问题的研究人员关注这一领域。可能会请求长达两年的试点拨款支持。预算不得超过 200,000 美元（每年不超过 100,000 美元）。已经制定了特殊的申请表。不需要初步数据，但可以包括在内。首席研究员必须是联盟学术机构之一的教职人员 机构或非学术合作伙伴公司雇用的合格科学家。 共同研究者和合作者不必与 PI 位于同一机构或受雇于这些机构。由 8-10 名成员组成的研究资助委员会将每年审查试点资助申请。审稿人将因他们的努力而获得津贴。一半的成员将是外部评审员，不隶属于该中心。委员会将以 NIH 研究部门的方式评估科学价值 提案、分配优先级分数并向执行委员会推荐奖项。每年都会征集试点资助。硬拷贝和电子公告将用于宣传学术和非学术合作机构内试点研究补助金的可用性。需要年度进度报告。受资助者的生产力和进度将受到监控。成功的试点项目将被考虑转换为完整的研究/开发项目，但须经 NIAID 批准。该核心的主要目标是将新的调查人员和新的想法带入放射性恐怖主义对策领域。
