ABSTRACT: Pilot Studies NIAAA's Pilot Studies Core is intended to “provide the Center with a flexible means to develop and explore new research activities or directions and unique scientific opportunities that have the potential to evolve into independently-funded research projects,” as well as to promote and encourage junior investigators in the field of alcohol research1. The current Pilots Core proposes a program for conducting pilot studies that would meaningfully extend the Center's research methods and agenda as well as directly enable NIH grant applications relevant to our current focus on health disparities. Our program would also address the research and career development needs of our most promising new and early stage investigators. Our application builds on 3 highly successful prior Pilots Cores from Center cycles 1995-2000, 2001-2005, and 2010-15, and this experience undergirds our proposed methods for soliciting and selecting projects and managing studies. We also draw on our experience with our longstanding (35-year) NIAAA T32 alcohol training program, which involves cultivation and oversight of research projects, and career development broadly, for post-doctoral and pre-doctoral trainees. We have identified 5 pilot studies for potential inclusion in the current round, and all are scientifically sound and well-integrated with our Center's overall program of research and focus on health disparities. Nevertheless, they are also highly innovative; multidisciplinary; broad in scope and potential impact; and highly diverse in questions, methods, and populations. We believe that this diversity of approaches and questions is critical to fostering a vibrant and innovative program of research at our Center, and that our Center is the ideal environment for these studies: Our strong grounding in epidemiology, policy, and health services, along with our rich base of disparities researchers (and statistical department), lend important support. This Core will be directed by Dr. Sarah Zemore, who is Co-Director of Training and MPI of the T32 at our Center (with Lee Ann Kaskutas) as well as Associate Director of the Center. Management will be supported by a Pilots Committee, which will include all Center Managers and prior Pilots Core Director Kaskutas. Specific Aims are to 1) requisition, select, and monitor pilot studies that are well-integrated with the Center's program of research; that are consistent with our Center's focus on health disparities; and that have high potential to lead to independent, NIH-funded research grants and high-impact lines of research; 2) promote and encourage junior (new and early stage) investigators in their career development via supporting and guiding their research lines and providing specific career development resources; and 3) continually evaluate the pilot program and refine procedures as necessary.

摘要：试点研究 NIAAA的试点研究核心旨在“为中心提供一种灵活的手段来开发和探索 新的研究活动或方向以及独特的科学机会，有可能发展为 独立资助的研究项目，“并促进和鼓励该领域的初级调查人员 酒精研究1。当前的飞行员核心提案提出了一项用于进行试点研究的计划 有意义地扩展中心的研究方法和议程，并直接启用NIH赠款 与我们当前对健康差异的关注有关的应用程序。我们的计划也将解决研究 以及我们最有前途的新阶段调查人员的职业发展需求。我们的申请 建立在中心周期1995-2000、2001-2005和2010 - 15年的3个非常成功的先前飞行员核心以及 这种经验概述了我们提出的用于招募和选择项目和管理研究的方法。 我们还通过长期（35年）NIAAA T32酒精培训计划来借鉴我们的经验 涉及研究项目的培养和监督，以及广泛的职业发展，用于博士后和 博士前学员。我们已经确定了5项试点研究，用于在当前一轮中的潜在纳入，所有这些都是 科学的声音且与我们中心的整体研究计划和关注健康方面的整体整合 差异。然而，它们也是高度创新的。多学科；广泛的范围和潜力 影响;以及高度潜水员的问题，方法和人群。我们相信这种多样性 方法和问题对于在我们中心培养充满活力和创新的研究计划至关重要， 并且我们的中心是这些研究的理想环境：我们在流行病学，政策， 和卫生服务，以及我们丰富的差异基础研究人员（和统计部门） 重要的支持。该核心将由莎拉·泽莫尔（Sarah Zemore）博士指导，他是培训和MPI的联合主任 T32在我们中心（与李·安·卡斯库塔斯（Lee Ann Kaskutas））以及中心副主任。管理人员会 由试点委员会的支持，该委员会将包括所有中心经理和先前的飞行员核心主任 Kaskutas。具体目的是1）申请，选择和监视与与 中心的研究计划；这与我们中心对健康分配的关注一致；而且有 引起独立的，NIH资助的研究补助金和高影响力研究的高潜力； 2） 通过支持 并指导他们的研究界并提供特定的职业发展资源； 3）连续 根据需要评估试点计划和完善程序。
