试点研究-项目总结/摘要 试点研究部分通过资助新的研究，为NM 4 R社区提供关键支持， 将：1）增加NM 4 R设计，方法和临床试验的严谨性; 2）进行关键研究以翻译NM 4 R 循证干预方法;或3）将新兴NM技术开发成NM 4 R工具。 从试点研究中获得的初步数据使研究团队能够开发具有竞争力的NM 4 R研究- 基于NIH的K系列和R系列（或同等）资助申请，以及支持重要的传播 活动（例如，同行评审的出版物、会议报告、出版的摘要）。完成其 在使命中，试点研究部分有两个具体目标：目标1。广泛征求意见，严格评估， 有选择地资助有希望的以NM 4 R为重点的试点研究，特别是与RPR优先事项相关的研究。我们 将优先考虑并资助影响力大的试点研究。最终目标是提供重要的资源和培训 研究人员开发足够的初步数据，以准备竞争性NIH K系列和R系列（或 研究资助申请。我们将继续我们迄今为止成功的目标，资助广泛的 NM方法，条件和人群，以增加康复内NM 4 R重点领域的多样性。 研究可以在国内机构或在MUSC进行，无论哪一个对学生最有利。 研究人员进行研究和准备未来的竞争性资金申请。所有申请人成为 NM 4 R社区的成员，无论他们的申请是否得到资助，都可以访问完整的 通过NC NM 4 R提供的服务的补充（例如，指导协作咨询，1级[基础 技能]和2级[深入]讲习班和实践培训，以及通过网络提供的存档材料 门户）。AIM 2.通过提交前与获奖者的互动影响NM 4 R领域， 获奖后两个集成组件与试点研究组件密切相关： 互动和指导的协作机会。所有这三个组件都代表了 程序.参加教学研讨会的研究人员积极讨论他们的新兴研究 假设，并鼓励提交试点。指导的协作机会组件提供 作为试点应用的重要管道资源，一旦获得资助，将继续提供专家 与基于神经调节的研究方法和技术有关的咨询。通过预先提交 通过与研究者的互动，并在研究期间担任导师或顾问，NC NM 4 R 有多种机会影响研究设计、严谨性、技术应用、数据解释、翻译 潜力，和赠款-所有这些都增加了校外资金成功的可能性， 调查员，并在更广泛的网络中扩展NM 4 R的容量。

PILOT STUDIES – PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The Pilot Studies component provides critical support for the NM4R community by funding new research that will: 1) Increase rigor in NM4R design, methods and clinical trials; 2) Perform key research to translate NM4R approaches into evidence-based interventions; or 3) Develop emerging NM techniques into NM4R tools. Preliminary data obtained from pilot studies enable research teams to develop competitive NM4R research- based NIH K-series and R-series (or equivalent) grant applications, as well as to support important dissemination activities (e.g., peer reviewed publications, conference presentations, published abstracts). To accomplish its mission, the Pilot Studies component has two Specific Aims: AIM 1. Broadly solicit, rigorously evaluate, and selectively fund promising NM4R-focused pilot studies – especially those related to RPR priorities. We will prioritize and fund high impact pilot studies. The ultimate goal is to provide important resources and training for investigators to develop sufficient preliminary data to prepare competitive NIH K-series and R-series (or equivalent) research grant applications. We will continue our to-date successful goal of funding a wide-range of NM approaches, conditions, and populations to increase the diversity of NM4R focus areas within rehabilitation. Research can be performed at home institutions or at MUSC, whichever would be of the most benefit to the investigator for study conduct and preparation of competitive future funding applications. All applicants become members of the NM4R Community, whether or not their application is funded, and are given access to the full complement of services available through the NC NM4R (e.g., mentored collaborative consults, Level 1 [Basic Skills] and Level 2 [In-Depth] workshops and hands-on training, and archived material available via the web portal). AIM 2. Influence the field of NM4R through interactions with the awardees before submission and after award. Two integrated components work hand-in-glove with the Pilot Studies component: Didactic Interactions and Mentored Collaborative Opportunities. All three components represent entry points into this program. Researchers attending didactic workshops engage in active discussions of their emerging research hypotheses and are encouraged to submit pilot. The Mentored Collaborative Opportunities component serves as an important pipeline resource for pilot applications, and once funded, continues to provide expert consultations related to neuromodulation-based research methods and technologies. Through pre-submission interactions with investigators and by acting as mentors or consultants during the study, the NC NM4R has multiple opportunities to influence study design, rigor, technology application, data interpretation, translational potential, and grantsmanship – all of which increases the likelihood of extramural funding success for the investigator and expands capacity for NM4R across the wider Network.
