Pilot and Feasibility program

摘要 - 华盛顿大学 CFRTC 试点和可行性计划 试点和可行性 (P&F) 计划的目标是为华盛顿大学 Cystic 服务 纤维化研究转化中心 (CFRTC) 的使命是推进囊性纤维化 (CF) 研究以改善 CF 患者的健康。 P&F 计划将通过招募年轻科学家来为这一使命做出贡献， 建立了以前没有在CF工作过的研究者，并完成了CF研究人员 追求新颖且高风险的想法，这些想法明显背离了他们既定的工作。 目标 1. 招募优秀的早期和成熟研究者到 NIDDK 进行 CF 研究 兴趣领域。我们将通过个人外展活动吸引有前途的调查人员；与学术界和学术界的互动 研究带头人；以及我们以 CF 为重点的研讨会、研究会议和年度静修会。 目标 2. 管理 P&F 计划，以最大限度地发挥资助的科学和计划影响 项目。我们将对试点研究提案组织严格的科学审查，其中包括多项内部和 外部专家并使用 NIH 评分系统。资助将基于科学价值、项目的 与 CFRTC 使命的关系、与核心的联系以及项目与协作组的整合 我们中心培养了以 NIDDK 为重点的研究人员。我们将监督科学进步、生产力、 以及 P&F 项目的财务。

ABSTRACT - UW's CFRTC PILOT AND FEASIBILITY PROGRAM The objective of the Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) program is to serve the University of Washington's Cystic Fibrosis Research Translation Center's (CFRTC) mission of advancing cystic fibrosis (CF) research to improve the health of people with CF. The P&F program will contribute to this mission by recruiting young scientists, established investigators who have not previously worked in CF, and accomplished CF researchers who are pursuing novel and high risk ideas that represent a clear departure from their established work. Aim 1. To recruit outstanding early stage and established investigators to CF research in NIDDK interest areas. We will engage promising investigators via personal outreach; interactions with academic and research leaders; and our CF-focused seminars, research meetings, and annual retreat. Aim 2. To manage the P&F program to maximize the scientific and programmatic impact of funded projects. We will organize rigorous scientific review for pilot study proposals that include multiple internal and external experts and uses the NIH scoring system. Funding will be based on scientific merit, the project's relationship to the CFRTC mission, links to the Cores, and projects' integration with the collaborative groups of NIDDK-focused researchers our center has developed. We will oversee the scientific progress, productivity, and finances of P&F projects.
