芝加哥健康与环境中心(CACHET)试点项目计划旨在为 环境健康科学研究的新方向，并为促进 纪念章会员的职业发展。试点项目计划是促进 EHS研究中的声望调查人员和未来声望资源的开发。试点项目 通过该计划获奖将探索新的EHS研究领域，建立研究合作和团队， 支持下一代EHS研究人员，并加快对荣誉成员的外部赠款支持。 考虑到COEC收集的数据的建议以及积极合作的建议 有了COEC，社区参与者将受到鼓励。这将使Cachet能够直接将 社区的环境研究需求，并在这样做的同时，进行旨在减轻种族歧视的研究 而民族健康差异作为不利的环境因素起作用。试点项目计划将具有 四个主要奖项类型，包括青年调查员奖、IDEA奖、专注研究奖和 机构间奖，每个奖项都解决了在以下领域建立强大的EHS研究社区的特定需求 芝加哥。将对所有提案进行彻底审查，以确定其科学价值、可行性和可能导致的结果 NIEHS和其他资助机构在EHS研究方面的外部赠款。该计划授予的资金有 不仅对培养初级侦探的职业生涯至关重要，通过提高他们在获得 拨款和出版物，也用于吸引来自其他学科的知名研究人员进入EHS 研究领域。我们相信，在五年内，试点项目方案将产生 NIEHS为声望调查人员提供的资金大幅增加，并将显著建立EHS研究 芝加哥的运力。

The ChicAgo Center for Health and EnvironmenT (CACHET) Pilot Project Program will be aimed at funding new directions in environmental health sciences research and provide a primary mechanism for promoting the career development of CACHET members. The Pilot Project Program is key to promoting the success of CACHET investigators and the development of future CACHET resources in EHS research. Pilot projects awarded through this program will explore new EHS research areas, build research collaborations and teams, support the next generation of EHS researchers and accelerate external grant support of CACHET members. Proposals that take into account the data collected by the COEC as well as proposals that actively collaborate with COEC community participants will be encouraged. This will enable CACHET to direct address the environmental research needs of the community and in so doing, undertake research aimed at mitigating racial and ethnic health disparities as a function adverse environmental factors. The Pilot Project Program will have four primary award types including Young Investigator Award, Idea Award, Focused Research Award and Inter-Institutional Award that each address specific needs for building a strong EHS research community in Chicago. All proposals will be thoroughly reviewed for scientific merit, feasibility, and potential to lead to external grants in EHS research from NIEHS and other funding agencies. Funds awarded by the program are not only essential for cultivating the careers of junior investigators by enhancing their success in obtaining grants and publications but also for attracting established investigators form other disciplines into the EHS research field. We are confident that within five years, the Pilot Project Program will have resulted in a substantial increase in NIEHS funding for CACHET investigators and will have noticeably built EHS research capacity in Chicago.
