Abstract/Summary – Pilot & Feasibility Grants Program The UT Southwestern Nutrition and Obesity Research Center (UTSW NORC) Pilot & Feasibility Grants Program (P&F) will foster research on the genetic, physiological, nutritional, and behavioral determinants that regulate energy balance and metabolism. This includes studies investigating the pathophysiology of obesity and the effects of altered composition and quantity of nutrients to impact intermediary metabolism and modulate disease risk. We will also support studies aimed at developing novel interventions to reduce obesity and associated comorbidities. To achieve this goal, we will provide opportunities for both new and established UT Southwestern investigators to generate sufficient preliminary data for a successful application for major research funding from NIDDK or other national granting agencies. The $100K/year for the UTSW NORC P&F grants program will fund up to 4 applications each year. These awards will be important for recruiting and fostering new investigators to the field. We also strongly believe that given the nutrition and obesity research expertise at UT Southwestern, these awards will result in considerable return of new funded NIDDK awards, new collaborations among UTSW NORC members, and most importantly, significant advances in the field that will lead to new therapeutic opportunities.

摘要/摘要 - 飞行员和可行性赠款计划 UT西南营养与肥胖研究中心（UTSW NORC）飞行员和可行性赠款 计划（P＆F）将促进对遗传，生理，营养和行为决定者的研究 调节能量平衡和代谢。这包括研究肥胖病理生理学的研究 以及养分的成分和数量改变的影响，影响中间代谢和 调节疾病风险。我们还将支持旨在制定新干预措施以减少肥胖症的研究 和相关的合并症。为了实现这一目标，我们将为新的和已建立的机会提供机会 UT西南调查人员生成了足够的初步数据，以成功地应用主要应用 NIDDK或其他国家授予机构的研究资金。 UTSW NORC P＆F的$ 10万美元/年 赠款计划每年最多可提供4个申请。这些奖项对于招聘和 培养新的调查人员进入该领域。我们还坚信，鉴于营养和肥胖研究 这些奖项将在UT Southwestern的专业知识中获得可观的回归NIDDK奖项， UTSW NORC成员之间的新合作，最重要的是该领域的重大进展 这将带来新的治疗机会。
