PILOT AND FEASIBILIY PROGRAM

描述（改编自应用程序）资格：由试点和可行性研究计划支持的研究主要是为了在U华盛顿谁还没有获得主要的同行评审补助金（如R01或K21）在糖尿病或内分泌领域的初级教师的第一笔补助金。高级教师也有资格申请，如果他们的项目代表首次进入糖尿病研究领域。糖尿病领域的知名研究者也有资格，如果他们的目的是测试真正代表与以前研究活动明显不同的创新想法。任何一个研究者都有资格获得一个P和F奖只有一次，除非第二个P和F是一个明确的偏离原来的奖项的研究领域。 供资水平：由于NIH对我们DERC P和F研究计划的资助每年为所有P和F项目的总和，到目前为止，每个项目的支持最多为每年25，000美元。奖励最初是一年，但第二年？如果在第一年取得令人满意的进展，将提供资金。尽管这些有限的资金，有一个很大的响应呼吁的应用程序和许多优秀的研究项目已得到支持。由于增加了对糖尿病中心P和F研究的资助，建议增加P和F项目的资助水平和奖励数量。计划将DERC新预算中的20万美元分配给P和F研究奖。接受者必须是美国国会议员。华盛顿的教师（博士后研究员和研究科学家没有资格），并符合既定的标准。该奖项将被限制为每年50，000美元，为期2年，但有些可能会更小。该奖项是根据科学价值，遵循严格的科学审查程序，已用于过去的申请。 新的研究者奖：DERC研究项目还管理糖尿病研究者 每年向首次进入糖尿病研究的教职员工提供25，000美元的奖励计划。这些奖项是支持私人DRTP，华盛顿大学的捐赠基金，以促进糖尿病研究。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.
