CORE--PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

该中心的一些成员已经从事由NIA或其他来源资助的老龄化相关研究。然而，一些成员目前并没有从事与老龄化相关的资助项目，但有兴趣在这一领域开展研究和提出建议。核心B旨在鼓励、促进和支持新研究线的发展和对NIA的建议。根据RFA， Core B将为预计在两年或更短时间内向NIA提交R01提案的研究提供资金。这笔资金是中心极其重要的一部分，因为它为那些已经在研究老龄化的成员创造了强大的动力，让他们继续从事这项工作；对于尚未开始研究衰老的成员和其他教职员工，他们可以将研究方向转向与衰老相关的主题。它还将允许学者们在他们的研究方向上更具创新性，让他们有时间和资源去探索新的方向。核心B试点项目也将利用核心A的资源（方案编制、数据获取等），核心B供资的潜在项目的评价和部分工作将由咨询委员会在核心A进行。

Some members of the proposed Center are already engaged in aging related research funded by NIA or by other sources. However, some members are not currently working on aging related funded projects, but are interested in developing research and proposals in this area. Core B is intended to encourage, facilitate and support the development of new research lines and proposals to NIA. In accordance with the RFA, Core B will provide funding for research that is expected to lead to R01 proposals to NIA within two years or less. This funding is an extremely important part of the Center, because it creates strong incentives for those members who are already working on aging to continue to do so; and for members and other faculty who have not yet begun working on aging to redirect their research toward aging-related topics. It will also permit scholars to be more innovative in their research directions, by allowing them the time and resources to explore new directions. Core B pilot projects will also draw on the resources of Core A (programming data access, etc.) And the evaluation and section of potential projects for Core B funding will be undertaken by the Advisory Committee in Core A.
