Pilot Project Program

EHS中心在其研究计划中确保活力和增长的一种方式是继续其 致力于其试点项目计划。该计划的主要目标是：1)增加 俄亥俄州立大学科学家对减少环境压力对人类健康的影响的兴趣，2)鼓励 开发相关创新研究和技术的新路线；3)扩大EHS中心 跨学科参与和协作科学。试点项目计划提供 支持机制资助最有功绩的试点项目研究提案。超过了 多年来，已提交提案，以竞争EHS中心的资金，无论是新的还是现有的 调查人员；鼓励来自目前与该中心无关的教职员工的申请。EHS 中心资助使科学家能够获得初步结果，这些结果可以加强那些资助建议 随后提交给其他供资机构。相关业务成功续展记录 通过这一试点机制的研究，验证了中国政府加大财政投入力度 EHS中心。在六年期间获得资助的21个项目中，04/01/99-03/31/05(年 32-37)，现已完成20个；在已完成的20个项目中，有10个继续作为主要研究 研究导致13项赠款由其他赠款实体资助。2005年，提出了四项建议 已提交并已审核。由于该中心没有续签，因此没有一个得到资助。然而，有一个 获奖申请随后由俄亥俄州立大学教研室储备基金资助，其中一项 2004年与赠款编写者研讨会一起开发的应用程序，从今年开始作为R01获得资助 在一次重新提交后的四月。

One way the EHS Center assures vitality and growth within its research program has been to continue its commitment to its Pilot Projects Program. The Program's primary objectives are to: 1) increase the interests of OSU scientists to reduce the impact of environmental stress on human health, 2) encourage development of new lines of related innovative research and technologies, and 3) expand EHS Center interdisciplinary participation and collaborative science. The Pilot Projects Program provides the mechanism of support to fund the most meritorious of the pilot project research proposals. Over the years, proposals have been submitted to compete for EHS Center funding by both new and established investigators; applications from faculty not currently associated with the Center are encouraged. EHS Center funding allows scientists to get preliminary results that can strengthen those grant proposals that are subsequently submitted to other funding agencies. The record of successful continuation of related research through this pilot project mechanism validates the increasing financial investment made by the EHS Center. Of the 21 projects awarded funding during the six-year period 04/01/99-03/31/05 (years 32-37), 20 are now completed; of the 20 completed projects, 10 have continued as major research studies resulting in 13 grants being funded by other granting entities. In 2005, four proposals were submitted and reviewed. Because the Center was not renewed, none were funded. However, one meritorious application was subsequently funded by the OSU Faculty Senate Reserve Fund, and one application, developed with the grant writers' workshop in 2004, was funded as an R01 beginning this April after one resubmission.
