The goal of our Pilot Project Program (PPP) is to provide funding for research (up to $35k per award), access to state-of-the-art Facility Cores (FCs), and intellectual support primarily for junior faculty and to recruit senior faculty to the Center for Environmental Health in Northern Manhattan (CEHNM). Funding is targeted to projects that advance our understanding of the health impacts of environmental exposures over the life course, with a focus on the four themes for this funding cycle: Environmental Epidemiology, Environmental Epigenetics and Disease Mechanisms, Climate and Health, and Translation and Disease Prevention. In addition to supporting current CEHNM themes, the PPP is used to encourage the development of research in new directions outside of those themes as a way to develop novel areas of focus. The PPP also seeks to fund projects that concern the local communities (e.g., West Harlem, Central Harlem, Washington Heights/Inwood and the South Bronx), as identified by our Community Engagement Core (CEC). The PPP has successfully stimulated interest in environmental health issues by junior and senior investigators at the University who are not Center Members and provided them with access to the expertise of our senior investigators in the CEHNM as well as to our outstanding FCs, which enabled them to generate preliminary data for new grant applications. The success of the PPP is measured by new extramural grants awarded to Pilot Project (PP) investigators, publications resulting from PP research, junior faculty supported, new investigators to the CEHNM community, and new interdisciplinary projects developed. By all of these measures, the PPP has been an extraordinary success. Between 2008-2014 (last cycle and first two years of this cycle), the PPP received 76 proposals, of which 28 were funded. The $713K invested in these PPs resulted in 6 R01s, 2 R21s, 2 K awards, 1 R33, and 13 other grants for a total of $20.1M in new grants ($28 in grants for every $1 funded in pilots), as well as 32 PP publications. All of the funded PPs went to either junior faculty members or investigators who were not already CEHNM investigators. For the proposed funding cycle, the Specific Aims of the Pilot Project Program are as follows: Aim 1. Foster innovative environmental health science research that fills important research gaps identified in CEHNM working group areas and allows for the development of future CEHNM research directions. Aim 2. Support junior faculty members in developing creative, novel research projects that facilitate the establishment of an independent research program and further their careers. Aim 3. Bring new faculty members from the University to the CEHNM community to conduct innovative research that fills critical gaps in environmental health science research. Aim 4. Facilitate research that answers significant environmental health questions raised by the CEC. In summary, our PPP has a demonstrated history of supporting the development of significant, innovative environmental health research and training investigators who not only will conduct more of such research in the future but also become leaders in the field.

我们的试点项目计划（PPP）的目标是为研究提供资金（每个奖项高达3.5万美元）， 国家的最先进的设施核心（FC），和智力支持，主要是初级教师和招聘高级 在北方曼哈顿的环境健康中心（CEHNM）任教。资金用于项目 这促进了我们对生命过程中环境暴露对健康影响的理解， 重点关注本资助周期的四个主题：环境流行病学、环境表观遗传学和 疾病机制，气候与健康，翻译与疾病预防。除了支持 在当前CEHNM主题中，PPP用于鼓励外部新方向的研究发展， 这些主题作为一种方式来开发新的重点领域。公私营伙伴关系还寻求为涉及以下方面的项目提供资金： 当地社区（例如，西哈莱姆、中哈莱姆、华盛顿高地/因伍德和南布朗克斯）， 社区参与核心（CEC）。PPP成功地激发了人们的兴趣， 环境健康问题的初级和高级研究人员在大学谁不是中心成员 并为他们提供了获得我们在CEHNM的高级调查员的专业知识以及我们的 这使他们能够为新的拨款申请提供初步数据。的成功 PPP通过授予试点项目（PP）研究人员的新的校外赠款、出版物 由于PP的研究，初级教师的支持，新的研究人员到CEHNM社区，和新的 跨学科项目开发。通过所有这些措施，PPP取得了非凡的成功。 在2008-2014年期间（上一个周期和本周期的前两年），公私伙伴关系收到了76份提案，其中28份是在2014年提交的。 得到了资助。在这些PP上投资的71.3万美元产生了6个R 01、2个R21、2个K奖励、1个R33和13个其他奖励。 赠款总额为2010万美元的新赠款（每1美元的试点资金提供28美元的赠款），以及32个PP 出版物。所有受资助的PP都流向了初级教师或尚未参与的研究人员 CEHNM调查员。就建议的资助周期而言，试验计划的具体目的如下 目标1.促进创新的环境健康科学研究，填补重要的研究空白 在CEHNM工作组领域中确定并允许未来CEHNM研究的发展 方向目标2.支持初级教师开发创造性的，新颖的研究项目，促进 建立一个独立的研究计划，并进一步他们的职业生涯。目标3。带来新的教员 从大学到CEHNM社区的成员进行创新研究，填补了关键的空白， 环境卫生科学研究。目标4。促进解决重大环境问题的研究 卫生委员会提出的问题。总括而言，我们的公私营界别合作在支持 发展重要的、创新的环境卫生研究和培训调查人员，他们不仅 未来将进行更多此类研究，并成为该领域的领导者。
