The Pilot Project Core of the UAB Roybal Center is designed to foster and facilitate the development and execution of pilot projects which will contribute to the overall theme of the Center "Translational Research on Aging and Mobility." Specifically, these projects are will consit of preliminary studies, with the long-range goal of applying the theories, paradigms, and methodology of the behavioral and social sciences to solve the mobility problems of older adults. Pilot projects are expected to lead to the develoment of more highly developed research projects (e.g., NIH ROIs, R03s, K-awards etc., VA Merit awards; private sector support) with the primary aim of obtaining information that can be translated into real solutions for the mobility challenges of the elderiy. Pilot projects can assume a variety of formats, such as pilot studies on a preliminary hypothesis, descriptive studies to explore associations between functional impairments and adverse mobility outcomes, and feasibility studies to establish the credibility of a research approach or a methodology. Even though pilot projects represent the eariiest steps in developing a research idea, they should be consistent with the Roybal Center's emphasis on research translation from basic research to practical positive outcome for older adults' health and well-being. The Pilot Project Core will be directed by the Co-Director of the Center, Dr. Cynthia Owsley. Two to five pilot projects will be selected for funding each year. A call for applications will be issued through campus mail, the campus newspaper, and electronic mail, and other dissemination outlets. Applications will be reviewed by relevant experts for scientific merit and programmatic relevance to the Center. The Pilot Project Core will be systematically evaluate by examining the extent to which each project contributes to the scientific literature, generates data useful in the design and funding of future research studies, and leads to the eventual transfer of research findings to solving a mobility problem of the elderly.

UAB Roybal中心的试点项目核心旨在促进和促进发展， 执行试点项目，这将有助于中心的总主题“翻译研究， 老龄化和流动性。“具体来说，这些项目将包括初步研究， 应用行为和社会科学的理论、范式和方法来解决 老年人的流动性问题。预计试点项目将导致更高水平的 开发的研究项目（例如，NIH ROI、R 03、K奖等，退伍军人管理局优秀奖;私营部门支持） 其主要目的是获得可以转化为真实的移动性解决方案的信息 老年人的挑战。试点项目可以采取各种形式，例如对一个国家的试点研究， 初步假设，描述性研究，以探讨功能障碍和 不利的流动性结果，以及可行性研究，以建立研究方法的可信度或 方法论尽管试点项目代表了发展研究理念的最早阶段， 应该与罗伊巴尔中心强调的从基础研究到 为老年人的健康和福祉带来实际的积极成果。 核心试点项目将由该中心的联合主任辛西娅·奥斯利博士指导。二至五名飞行员 每年都会挑选项目进行资助。学校将通过校园邮件、 校园报纸、电子邮件等传播渠道。申请将由 有关专家的科学价值和方案的相关性中心。试点项目的核心将是 通过检查每个项目对科学文献的贡献程度进行系统评估， 生成对未来研究的设计和资助有用的数据，并导致最终的转移 解决老年人行动不便的问题。
