PROJECT SUMMARY – Pilot Project Program The University of Kentucky Center for Appalachian Research and Environmental Science (UK-CARES) Pilot Project Program (PPP) aims to support highly innovative and collaborative research studies that will enhance the ability to identify and capitalize on the Center’s science themes and build community-academic partnerships across the translational spectrum. This goal will be accomplished by providing pilot funds along with guidance and support for innovative, time-sensitive preliminary studies and community projects that improve our understanding of environmental exposures, human biology, and disease. Specifically, the aims of the PPP are to 1) support new opportunities for innovative, collaborative environmental health research; 2) enhance interactions and expand the critical mass of investigators with expertise and experience in multi- disciplinary, translational environmental health research at UK and in Appalachian communities; 3) provide guidance and support to ensure the success of UK-CARES Pilot Projects; and 4) evaluate utilization, efficiency, quality, and impact of the PPP. Strong institutional support of the PPP from UK is a hallmark of our proposal. In fact, UK entities will provide matching funds, representing 37% of the total funds allocated for pilot projects. The PPP will provide three general categories of pilot research funding opportunities consistent with the science themes and strategic vision of UK-CARES. First, Pilot grants will generate new preliminary data and support (a) established Center members to catalyze new research opportunities consistent with Center science themes; (b) non-member scientists to expand collaborations and bring new dimensions to the Center; and (c) creative, early-stage investigators to establish competitive research programs. Second, Community grants will provide direct support to community organizations with a UK faculty collaborator to address a priority science theme. Third, Mini grants will foster rapid, time-sensitive development of, or access to, new and novel technologies as well as community-engaged research. The PPP will communicate, collaborate, coordinate, and create synergy across Center cores and programs to ensure that pilot-funded investigators receive the assistance they need to develop and carry out their pilot projects. The PPP will engage investigators and community stakeholders, both within UK-CARES and outside the Center, as reviewers and grantees to address questions related to environmental pathways (e.g., water, air) to exposures, human biology, and new contaminants and emerging threats. The overall progress of the PPP, and how effectively it has promoted environmental health research, will be monitored through the existing tracking and evaluation component of UK’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science, in coordination with the Administrative Core. Incorporating pilot-funded faculty into the Center will have a major impact on expanding the ability of our Center to examine important questions related to emerging environmental health issues and novel technologies, and to bolster the development of the next generation of environmental health scientists.

项目概要-试点项目计划 肯塔基州大学阿巴拉契亚研究与环境科学中心（UK-CARES）试点 项目计划（PPP）旨在支持高度创新和合作的研究，将提高 识别和利用该中心的科学主题并建立社区学术的能力 跨翻译领域的合作伙伴关系。这一目标将通过沿着提供试点资金来实现 指导和支持创新的，时间敏感的初步研究和社区项目， 提高我们对环境暴露、人类生物学和疾病的理解。具体而言， 公私伙伴关系是：1）支持创新、合作环境卫生研究的新机会; 2） 加强互动，扩大具有多方面专门知识和经验的调查人员的临界数量， 在英国和阿巴拉契亚社区的学科，翻译环境健康研究; 3）提供 指导和支持，以确保联合王国关爱试点项目的成功;以及4）评估利用情况， PPP的效率、质量和影响。英国对公私伙伴关系的强有力的机构支持是我们 提议事实上，英国实体将提供配套资金，占试点资金总额的37 项目公私伙伴关系将提供三大类试点研究资助机会， 科学主题和UK-CARES的战略愿景。首先，试点赠款将产生新的初步数据 并支持（a）已建立的中心成员，以促进与中心一致的新研究机会 （B）非成员科学家扩大合作，为中心带来新的层面; 和（c）创造性的，早期的研究人员，以建立有竞争力的研究计划。第二，社区 赠款将提供直接支持社区组织与英国教师合作，以解决优先事项 科学主题第三，小额赠款将促进迅速、及时地开发或获得新的和新颖的技术， 技术以及社区参与的研究。PPP将进行沟通、合作、协调， 并在中心核心和项目之间创造协同效应，以确保试点资助的研究人员获得 它们需要得到发展和执行试点项目的援助。PPP将聘请调查人员， 社区利益相关者，无论是UK-CARES内部还是中心外部，都是审核者和受赠者， 解决与环境途径有关的问题（例如，水，空气）暴露，人类生物学，和新的 污染物和新出现的威胁。PPP的整体进展，以及它如何有效地促进了 环境卫生研究，将通过现有的跟踪和评价部分进行监测， 英国临床和转化科学中心，与行政核心协调。结合 试点资助的教师进入中心将对扩大我们中心的能力产生重大影响， 与新出现的环境健康问题和新技术有关的重要问题，并加强 培养下一代环境卫生科学家。
