The Pilot Project Program will continue to be a critical component of the COBRE, ensuring the long-term sustainability of both the Behavior Core and the Histology and Imaging Core. Sustainability of these Cores will require continued internal use, but also a strong regional user base from academic institutions and industry partners. To accomplish this, the Pilot Project Program will solicit proposals from research faculty at both UNE and its Northern New England partner institutions (Maine Medical Center Research Institute, Maine INBRE institutions, and the University of New Hampshire), increasing the external user base for the Cores. The Pilot Project Program will provide a maximum of 2-years of funding for early-stage projects to generate preliminary data that have the best chance for obtaining extramural research dollars. With the solicitation of proposals from outside of UNE, funding priorities for the Pilot Project Program will no longer be restricted to pain research but will be expanded to include any projects that utilize the COBRE research cores. Awarding of pilot project grants will be a competitive process, with new and early-stage investigators being given priority over more senior faculty, and with project innovation and research core utilization being weighed heavily. The pilot project program from COBRE Phases 1 and 2 was highly successful, funding 14 pilot projects that have so far led to 8 new grant awards (three R15, one R01, two NIH sub-awards, and two foundation grants), with an additional five grant applications still pending or in the process of revision. The Administrative Core will implement the Pilot Project Program through the following Specific Aims. Aim 1 will solicit, review, and select highly meritorious proposals for funding. Proposals will be evaluated for their scientific strength (Significance, Innovation, and Approach), as well as investigator and environment strengths. The scientific review committee will be composed of both experienced and early-stage investigators, chaired by the COBRE Program Coordinator, mirroring NIH study section procedures. A secondary review of this committee’s recommendations will be completed by the External Advisory Committee (EAC) and COBRE Director before funding decisions are made. In Aim 2, the Administrative Core will provide oversight and evaluate the progress of all pilot project awardees. Pilot Project Leaders will receive a post-award orientation from the COBRE Director, as well as budget support from the COBRE Program Manager, with projects needing to be in full compliance with all applicable NIH policies. Scientific progress will be evaluated quarterly by the mentor(s) of the Pilot Project Leader and the Administrative Core, and annually by the EAC. The Administrative Core in Aim 3 will provide Pilot Project Leaders with career and research guidance through a faculty development program that utilizes trained, formal mentor(s) for both research and career guidance, in addition to formal in-person or asynchronous faculty development sessions. As Pilot Project Leaders may be non-UNE faculty, the Administrative Core will work their home institutions to recruit mentors and ensure that our faculty development content is congruent with their home institutions.

试点项目方案将继续是COBRE的关键组成部分，确保 包括行为核心和组织学和影像核心。这些核心的可持续性将需要持续的内部 使用，但也有来自学术机构和行业合作伙伴的强大的区域用户基础。为了做到这一点，飞行员 项目计划将向北新英格兰大学的研究人员及其合作伙伴征求建议书 机构(缅因州医学中心研究所、缅因州INBRE机构和新汉普郡大学)， 增加核心的外部用户基础。试点项目方案将提供最多两年的资金 对于早期项目，生成最有可能获得外部研究资金的初步数据。 随着从UNE外部征求建议书，试点项目方案的供资优先事项将不再是 仅限于疼痛研究，但将扩大到包括任何利用Cobre研究核心的项目。颁奖 试点项目赠款的分配将是一个竞争的过程，新的和早期阶段的调查人员将优先于更多 高级教员，项目创新和研究核心的利用受到了很大的重视。试点项目计划 科布雷第一阶段和第二阶段非常成功，资助了14个试点项目，迄今已获得8个新的赠款 (三个R15、一个R01、两个NIH子奖和两个基金会赠款)，还有另外五个赠款申请 待修订的或正在修订中的行政核心将通过以下方式实施试点项目计划 遵循特定的目标。AIM 1将征集、审查和挑选高度有价值的资助提案。提案将是 评估他们的科学实力(重要性、创新性和方法)，以及研究人员和环境 强项。科学审查委员会将由经验丰富的和早期调查人员组成，主席为 科布雷项目协调员，反映了NIH研究部门的程序。对该委员会的第二次审查 建议将由外部咨询委员会(EAC)和科布雷主任完成，然后再提供资金 已经做出了决定。在目标2中，行政核心将监督和评价所有试点项目的进展情况 获奖者。试点项目领导人将从科布雷主任那里获得获奖后情况介绍以及预算支助 来自Cobre项目经理，项目需要完全符合所有适用的NIH政策。 科学进展将由试点项目负责人和行政核心的导师(S)每季度进行评估， 并每年由选管会主办。目标3中的行政核心将为试点项目负责人提供职业和研究 通过教师发展计划提供指导，该计划利用训练有素的正式导师(S)进行研究和职业发展 指导，除了正式的面对面或异步的教师发展会议。作为试点项目的领导者 非联合国教职员工，行政核心将与其本国机构合作招聘导师，并确保我们的教职员工 发展内容与本国机构一致。
