DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pilot Project Component will continue through years 16-20 (2002-2007) of the Indiana Alcohol Research Center (IARC). This Component is a mechanism for funding promising, innovative research projects, for attracting new investigators to the alcohol research field, for developing new methodologies, and for exploring areas of potential relevance to the overall aims of the IARC. The flexibility inherent in the Pilot Project mechanism has allowed the IARC to respond rapidly to unique scientific opportunities as they have arisen and to support research projects with good potential for evolving into extramurally funded research programs. The IARC Pilot Project Component has had a demonstrably strong stimulatory effect on the growth of alcohol research on the IU campus over the past 14 years. We believe that there has been a remarkable rate of success in obtaining independent extramural funding, subsequent to the receipt of IARC pilot funding, for both new investigators as well as for more senior scientists who have entered new alcohol-related research arenas. Based on past performance, we anticipate that this component will result in continued growth of the lARC research program in important new directions. The Administrative Core will provide oversight for the pilot projects which are managed in the Pilot Project Component under the direction of Jan Froehlich with input from Dave Crabb, T.-K. Li, Sean O'Connor and the External Advisory Committee.

说明（由申请人提供）： 试点项目部分将持续到印第安纳酒精研究中心 (IARC) 的第 16-20 年（2002-2007 年）。该部分是一种机制，用于资助有前途的创新研究项目，吸引新的研究人员进入酒精研究领域，开发新的方法，以及探索与 IARC 总体目标潜在相关的领域。试点项目机制固有的灵活性使 IARC 能够对出现的独特科学机会做出快速反应，并支持具有发展为外部资助研究计划的良好潜力的研究项目。在过去 14 年里，IARC 试点项目部分对印第安纳大学校园酒精研究的发展产生了明显的强烈刺激作用。我们相信，在获得 IARC 试点资金之后，对于新研究人员以及进入新的酒精相关研究的资深科学家来说，获得独立外部资金的成功率非常高 竞技场。根据过去的表现，我们预计这一组成部分将导致 lARC 研究项目在重要的新方向上持续发展。行政核心将为试点项目提供监督，这些项目在 Jan Froehlich 的指导下在试点项目部分进行管理，并得到 Dave Crabb, T.-K 的投入。李、肖恩·奥康纳和外部咨询委员会。
