Pilot and Feasibility Studies Program

我们建议在糖尿病转化研究中心内建立一个试点和可行性计划（PFP），以减少健康差异。亲民党有三个目标： 1.通过支持试点数据收集和准备竞争性联邦赠款，有效推进糖尿病新的T2转化研究 2.导师研究人员新的T2转化研究糖尿病 3.促进合作学术单位和社区机构之间的合作 PFP每年将奖励总计10万美元（该中心提供5万美元，北卡罗来纳州大学提供5万美元;见支持信），用于收集初始数据，以支持2型转化糖尿病研究外部资金的可行提案。每年将有两个供资周期，每笔赠款最多为25 000美元。我们设计了私营部门筹资和伙伴关系司执行系统，以支持我们的既定目标。在本节中，我们将描述这些系统，包括试点计划的资格、促进和优化试点计划有效性的方法、申请流程、申请评估流程（包括审查标准）以及我们评估资助试点项目成功的方法。

We propose to establish a Pilot and Feasibility Program (PFP) within the UNC Center for Diabetes Translational Research to Reduce Health Disparities. Goals ofthe PFP are three-fold: 1. Efficiently advance new T2 translational research in diabetes through support of pilot data gathering and preparation of competitive federal grants 2. Mentor investigators new to T2 translational research in diabetes 3. Promote collaborations across partnering academic units and community agencies The PFP will award a total of $100,000 each year ($50,000 from the Center, matched by $50,000 from the University of North Carolina; see Letter of Support) for gathenng of initial data to support viable proposals for external funding for Type 2 translational diabetes research. There will be two funding cycles per year, with a maximum of $25,000 per grant. We have designed systems of PFP implementation in support of our stated goals. In this section, we descnbe those systems including eligibility for the pilot program, approaches to promote and optimize the effectiveness ofthe pilot program, application process, process for evaluation of the applications (including review criteria), and our means for evaluating the success of funded pilot projects.
