The Pilot and Feasibility Program (P&F) of the DRTC has funded 127 grants since its inception in 1977. In addition, this past cycle the P&F program funded 6 applicafions from investigators located outside the University of Chicago, both assisting their diabetes related studies, but also importantly the P&F program acts as a catalyst to bring together researchers from throughout the Chicago area. We plan to expand the program in the coming cycle to also include investigators at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The overall goal of the P&F program is to provide initial support to newly established investigators and also to bring the expertise of more established investigators from other fields into diabetes research. Proposals are sought each year from within the University of Chicago as well as from 6 other Chicago based institutions. All proposals are evaluated by an internal and external reviewer as well as by a member of the P&F Steering Committee. Priority scores and written reviews are then presented to the entire Steering Committee and funding decisions are made. A second year funding is possible for those investigators who have made significant documented progress on their proposed research. All P&F grant recipients are strongly encouraged to present their findings at the Annual Chicago Diabetes Day held at the University of Chicago. The vast majority of P&F grants recipients have remained in diabetes research, and many have received subsequent external funding from the NIH (lllustration VI). Thus, the P&F program is an integral part of promoting diabetes research throughout the greater Chicagoland area and has also greatly enhanced the visibility of the entire DRTC program at the University of Chicago.

DRTC的试点和可行性方案（P&F）自1977年成立以来已资助了127笔赠款。此外，在过去的周期中，P&F计划资助了芝加哥大学以外的研究人员的6项申请，这两项申请都有助于他们的糖尿病相关研究，但重要的是，P&F计划作为一种催化剂，将整个芝加哥地区的研究人员聚集在一起。我们计划扩大 在即将到来的周期中，该计划还包括威斯康星州医学院的研究人员。P&F计划的总体目标是为新成立的研究人员提供初步支持，并将其他领域更成熟的研究人员的专业知识引入糖尿病研究。每年都从芝加哥大学以及其他6所芝加哥大学寻求建议。所有 由内部和外部审查员以及P&F指导委员会的一名成员对提案进行评估。然后将优先分数和书面审查提交给整个指导委员会，并作出供资决定。第二年的资金是可能的，为那些研究人员谁取得了显着的记录进展，他们提出的研究。强烈鼓励所有P&F赠款获得者在芝加哥大学举行的年度芝加哥糖尿病日上展示他们的发现。 绝大多数P&F赠款获得者仍继续从事糖尿病研究，其中许多人随后获得了NIH的外部资助（图VI）。因此，P&F计划是促进整个大芝加哥地区糖尿病研究的一个组成部分，也大大提高了芝加哥大学整个DRTC计划的知名度。
