Pilot Core

试点项目核心的目标是确定有才华的调查人员，并提供激励和支持 这将使他们能够进行新的研究项目，使主题、覆盖范围、影响和 以最有效率和最有效的方式利用我们中心的资源。为了实现这一目标，具体的 试点核心计划的目标是： 1)利用我们咨询委员会、社区合作伙伴和其他网络的投入 开发针对试点项目研究的创新优先主题领域， 2)从一系列合格的调查人员中征集高质量的试点提案， 3)使用严格的科学标准审查提案，只为符合或超过标准的提案提供资金， 4)监测和指导飞行员在实现其所述目标和目的方面的进展情况，以及 6)利用格拉斯哥等人持续评价上述进程的成功。(1999)RE-AIM 框架。 苏珊·休斯博士和塔马尔·海勒博士将监督Pilot Core。两个第一年和两个第二年的飞行员 建议总共四名飞行员。第一年的普罗哈斯卡试点将测试将Strong for Life翻译成 伊利诺伊州社区照顾计划，为虚弱的、在家的老年人提供服务。其余三名飞行员(德尔阿纳尼亚年 马奎斯二年级和卡斯蒂略二年级)将改编和翻译循证程序或方法 向拉美裔/拉丁裔人口提供援助，以努力缩小健康差距。

The goal of the Pilot Project Core is to identify talented investigators and provide the Incentives and support that will enable them to conduct new research projects that will maximize the theme, reach, Impact, and resources of our Center in the most efficient and effective ways possible. To achieve this goal, the specific aims of the Pilot Core will be to: 1) Use inputs from our Advisory Committee, community partners and other networks to develop innovative priority topic areas for targeting pilot project research, 2) Solicit high quality pilot proposals from a broad an array of eligible investigators, 3) Review proposals using rigorous scientific criteria, funding only those that meet or exceed the criteria, 4) Monitor and guide the progress of the pilots in achieving their stated goals and objectives, and 6) Continuously evaluate the success of the above processes using the Glasgow et al. (1999) RE-AIM framework. Drs. Susan Hughes and Tamar Heller will oversee the Pilot Core. Two Year 1 and two Year 2 pilots are proposed for a total of four pilots. The Year 1 Prohaska pilot will test the translation of Strong for Life into the Illinois Community Care Program for frail, homebound elderly. The remaining three pilots (DerAnanian Year 1, Marques Year 2, and Castillo Year 2) will adapt and translate evidence-based programs or methodologies to Hispanic/Latino populations in an effort to reduce health disparities.
