Summary Pilot & Feasibility Program The UCSF DRC's Pilot & Feasibility Program aims to contribute to the building of a robust diabetes research community at UCSF by fulfilling the following goals: • Identify, attract and support new investigators and junior faculty establishing research programs in diabetes. • Foster new and innovative collaborations amongst DRC/UCSF faculty. • Enable established faculty to transfer skills and research developments to the arena of diabetes research. • Encourage highly innovative early stage investigation in basic and clinical diabetes research. • Provide seed funding that can be leveraged to increase external grant funding in emerging areas of research During the current funding cycle, the DRC P&F Program supporting diabetes research at UCSF with a total of $980,000 in funding for 23 projects out of 63 applications over six Requests for Applications. An additional 3 proposals ($70,000) were funded with UCSF Diabetes Center funds. The DRC Program placed a high priority on providing support for young faculty intending to establish research programs relevant to diabetes, and 16 of the successful applicants were New/Early Stage Investigators. The Principle Investigators on 8 of the funded project were new to diabetes research, and the remaining two were established diabetes investigators proposing new and exceptionally innovative translational research directions. The P&F program was dedicated to facilitating all UCSF Faculty wishing to pursue new initiatives in basic or clinical diabetes research. The successful research programs were conducted in 18 different departments or Organized Research Units and 3 campuses. Projects that were initiated with seed funding have, to date, resulted in 30 publications and successfully competed for $6,560,351 in external grant funding, of which $2,780,351 went to early stage investigators. This outstanding return reflects the extremely high quality of the applications received. As a result of this funding success, and the P&F Program mentoring program, all but 2 of the P&F awardees remain in diabetes research, and 8 are now permanent members of the DRC. This success in expanding and enriching the diabetes research community at USCF lead to a 2 million dollar private donation to the UCSF Diabetes Center to expand the P&F program. Our goal is to build on this success in the coming cycle. Our RFAs will reach a broader segment of UCSF by participating in a recently set-up campus-wide intramural grants support system. The increased average grant size will capture an even larger number of high quality applications and permit grantees greater leeway in proposing innovative projects. Finally, we have exciting plans to improve our mentoring and feedback mechanisms that ensure our P&F grant recipients take full advantage of the local expertise.

试点和可行性计划摘要 UCSF DRC 的试点和可行性计划旨在为建立健全的糖尿病研究做出贡献 UCSF 社区通过实现以下目标： • 识别、吸引和支持新的研究人员和初级教师建立糖尿病研究项目。 • 促进刚果民主共和国/加州大学旧金山分校教师之间的新的和创新的合作。 • 使现有教师能够将技能和研究进展转移到糖尿病研究领域。 • 鼓励基础和临床糖尿病研究中高度创新的早期研究。 • 提供种子资金，可用于增加新兴研究领域的外部拨款资金 在当前的资助周期内，DRC P&F 计划通过以下方式支持 UCSF 的糖尿病研究： 六项申请请求中的 63 项申请中的 23 个项目总共获得 980,000 美元的资助。一个 另外 3 项提案（70,000 美元）由 UCSF 糖尿病中心资金资助。刚果民主共和国计划放置了 高度优先为打算建立相关研究项目的年轻教师提供支持 糖尿病，其中 16 名成功申请者是新/早期研究人员。原理研究者 其中8个资助项目是糖尿病研究的新项目，其余两个是已建立的糖尿病研究项目 研究人员提出新的、极具创新性的转化研究方向。 P&F 计划 致力于促进所有希望在基础或临床糖尿病方面采取新举措的加州大学旧金山分校教员 研究。成功的研究计划在 18 个不同的部门进行或组织 研究单位和 3 个校区。 迄今为止，利用种子资金启动的项目已发表 30 篇出版物，并成功 竞争 6,560,351 美元的外部赠款资金，其中 2,780,351 美元用于早期研究人员。这 出色的回报反映了收到的申请的极高质量。由于这笔资金 的成功以及 P&F 计划指导计划，除 2 名 P&F 获奖者外，所有获奖者仍患有糖尿病 研究，目前有 8 个成为刚果民主共和国常任理事国。此次成功扩大和丰富了 USCF 糖尿病研究界向 UCSF 糖尿病中心捐赠 200 万美元 扩大 P&F 计划。 我们的目标是在下一个周期继续取得成功。我们的 RFA 将覆盖 UCSF 更广泛的部分 通过参与最近建立的全校范围内的校内赠款支持系统。增加的平均数 赠款规模将吸引更多数量的高质量申请，并为受赠者提供更大的回旋余地 提出创新项目。最后，我们有令人兴奋的计划来改善我们的指导和反馈 确保我们的 P&F 赠款接受者充分利用当地专业知识的机制。
