Pilot and Feasibility Program: Summary The Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Program has been major pillar of success for the UCSF-NORC, and we expect it to be a critical element of it's future growth and development. This program annually provides $50,000 of funding to a minimum of 3 proposals that are exploratory in nature. P&F Awards allow applicants to collect the preliminary data for subsequent grant applications that are needed to for these investigators to develop sustained, long-term new research directions. The intentions of this program relate directly to the major UCSF- NORC goal of strengthening a growing interactive community of Obesity & Nutrition researchers by: − Helping new investigators and junior faculty establish NORC-relevant research programs − Attracting scientists with established programs in other areas of research into the fields of nutritional sciences, obesity, and related disorders. − Fostering highly innovative techniques, tools, and directions in basic and clinical obesity- and nutrition- related research, including clinical studies in minority and other underserved patient groups. − Developing new and innovative collaborations among NORC investigators and between NORC investigators and faculty members from other disciplines. A straightforward guideline-driven review process is used to select P&F proposal for funding. The request for applications is conducted through a UCSF-wide website, the Research Allocation Program, that today lists over 30 intramural funding opportunities. UCSF investigators routinely turn to this site to identify intramural research opportunities, which ensures that the NORC P&F program is able to reach its primary target of junior investigators and those new to the nutrition, obesity and metabolism field. The review process involves an initial assessment of each application by an ad hoc internal NORC committee that includes the UCSF-NORC P&F Program Director and the Directors of the other NORC Programs, after which promising applications are sent out for review by extramural academic researchers knowledgeable about the types of projects being proposed, and also often involved with intramural P&F programs at their own institutions. After scores are returned, applications are ranked and the initial intramural committee allocates grants accordingly, while also ensuring that funded projects reflect a diversity of research areas. The committee also identifies established researchers to mentor P&F awardees who are junior and/or new to the field. The collection of success metrics, regular review of the P&F program by the NORC Executive Committee and advice on P&F funding by our External Board has ensured that the program continues in a high quality manner.

试点和可行性计划：摘要 试点和可行性 (P&F) 计划是 UCSF-NORC 成功的主要支柱，我们期望 它是其未来成长和发展的关键要素。该计划每年提供 50,000 美元 资助至少 3 项探索性提案。 P&F 奖项允许申请人收集 这些研究人员开发后续拨款申请所需的初步数据 持续的、长期的新研究方向。该计划的目的直接关系到加州大学旧金山分校的主要项目—— NORC 的目标是通过以下方式加强肥胖与营养研究人员不断增长的互动社区： − 帮助新研究者和初级教师建立与 NORC 相关的研究项目 − 通过其他研究领域的既定项目吸引科学家进入营养领域 科学、肥胖和相关疾病。 − 在基础和临床肥胖和营养领域培育高度创新的技术、工具和方向 相关研究，包括少数族裔和其他服务不足的患者群体的临床研究。 − 在 NORC 研究人员之间以及 NORC 之间开展新的创新合作 来自其他学科的研究人员和教职人员。 使用简单的指南驱动的审查流程来选择 P&F 资助提案。请求 申请是通过加州大学旧金山分校范围内的网站“研究分配计划”进行的，该网站今天列出了 超过 30 个校内资助机会。加州大学旧金山分校 (UCSF) 调查人员经常前往该网站来识别校内 研究机会，确保 NORC P&F 项目能够实现其初级目标 研究人员以及营养、肥胖和代谢领域的新人。 审核过程包括由 NORC 内部特设委员会对每份申请进行初步评估 其中包括 UCSF-NORC P&F 项目主管和其他 NORC 项目的主管，之后 哪些有前景的申请会被发送给熟悉相关领域的校外学术研究人员进行审查 拟议的项目类型，并且还经常涉及自己的校内 P&F 计划 机构。分数返回后，对申请进行排名，并由最初的校内委员会分配 相应的赠款，同时还确保资助的项目反映研究领域的多样性。这 委员会还确定知名研究人员来指导初级和/或新手的 P&F 获奖者 场地。 NORC 执行委员会收集成功指标、定期审查 P&F 计划以及 我们的外部董事会对 P&F 资助的建议确保了该计划继续高质量进行 方式。
