Pilot and Feasibility program

摘要-华盛顿大学的CFRTC试点和可行性研究 试点和可行性（P&F）计划的目标是为华盛顿的囊性的大学 纤维化研究翻译中心（CFRTC）推进囊性纤维化（CF）研究的使命， CF患者的健康。P&F计划将通过招募年轻科学家， 建立了以前从未在CF工作过的研究人员，并完成了CF研究人员的工作 追求新颖和高风险的想法，这代表了他们既定的工作明显偏离。 目标1。招募优秀的早期和成熟的研究人员到NIDDK的CF研究中 感兴趣的领域。我们将通过个人外联活动吸引有前途的研究人员;与学术界和 研究领导人;和我们的CF为重点的研讨会，研究会议，和年度务虚会。 目标二。管理P&F计划，以最大限度地提高受资助项目的科学和计划影响。 项目我们将组织严格的科学审查试点研究的建议，其中包括多个内部和 外部专家和使用NIH评分系统。资金将基于科学价值，该项目的 与CFRTC使命的关系，与核心的联系，以及项目与 NIDDK为重点的研究人员我们的中心已经开发。我们将监督科学进步，生产力， 和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.
