P and F Program

项目总结：试点和可行性研究 C-SiG试点和可行性（P/F）计划对于帮助我们吸引新的调查人员至关重要， 消化系统疾病研究P/F计划为调查人员提供足够的资金， 在外部机构授予的研究资助申请中使用可靠的初步数据， 尤其是NIDDK。除了研究资金，P/F获奖者由C-SiG指导 领导力，并通过C-SiG丰富提供职业发展机会 程序.因此，P/F计划允许C-SiG培养和加强新的管道， 从事消化系统疾病研究的研究人员。 C-SiG P/F计划的主要目标是支持新的研究者（N型）， 开始他们的消化系统疾病研究生涯。建议也被接受， 受资助的研究人员谁是新的消化系统疾病研究（EN型）谁希望测试 他们的专业知识对消化系统疾病相关问题的适用性。P/F计划通常 每年为最多四项待决提案提供资金，每年总额为100 000美元。自2009年以来 当C-SiG开始时，P/F计划平均每年收到9份申请， 资助了26名研究人员（25名N型，1名EN型，0名E型），第一年的奖金从 每年的直接年度费用为25，000 - 40，000美元（平均奖金为30，000美元）。此外，P/F接收者 有资格竞争新的支持研究者奖，提供第二年的 资助（最高50，000美元）给一名在其工作期间取得特殊进展的P/F奖获得者， 第一年自2009年C-SiG开始以来，已颁发了7项命名支持研究者奖 向优异的P/F项目提供第二年的资助（平均每年39，000元 [范围20 000 - 50 000美元;总额275 000美元]，由马约提供）。截至2018年5月，19/26（73%）P/F奖 接受者获得了独立的联邦资助。 制定了详细和严格的同行审查程序，以选择最高级别的项目。 质量.在这个过程中建立了一个机制，向所有符合条件的人提供详细的建设性批评， 申请人，包括无资金的申请人。以下各节详细说明了资格要求、 用于公布计划资金的机制，申请程序和科学机制 审查，以及方案监督和审查机制。

PROJECT SUMMARY: PILOT AND FEASIBILITY PROGRAM The C-SiG Pilot and Feasibility (P/F) Program is vital for helping us attract new investigators to digestive disease research. The P/F Program provides investigators with sufficient funds to obtain robust preliminary data to be used in research grant applications awarded by external agencies, especially NIDDK. In addition to research funding, P/F awardees are mentored by the C-SiG Leadership and are provided career development opportunities through the C-SiG Enrichment Program. Thus, the P/F program allows C-SiG to foster and strengthen the pipeline of new investigators engaging in digestive disease research. The primary goal of the C-SiG P/F Program is to support new investigators (Type N) just beginning their careers in digestive diseases research. Proposals are also accepted from established, funded investigators who are new to digestive disease research (Type EN) who wish to test the applicability of their expertise to a digestive disease-related problem. The P/F Program typically funds up to four outstanding proposals each year for a total of $100,000 per year. Since 2009 when C-SiG began, the P/F Program has received an average of 9 applications each year, and funded 26 investigators (25 Type N ,1 Type EN, 0 Type E) with first year awards ranging from $25,000-$40,000 (average award $30,000) in direct annual costs per year. Additionally, P/F recipients are eligible to compete for a New Supported Investigator Award that provides a second year of funding (up to $50,000) to one P/F Award recipient who has made exceptional progress during their first year. Since 2009 when C-SiG began, 7 Named Supported Investigator Awards have been given to meritorious P/F projects to provide a second year of funding (average award $39,000 per year [range $20,000-50,000; total $275,000] provided by Mayo). As of May 2018, 19/26 (73%) P/F award recipients have achieved independent Federal funding. A detailed and rigorous peer review process has been developed to select projects of the highest quality. Built in this process is a mechanism to provide detailed constructive criticism to all eligible applicants, including the unfunded ones. The following sections detail the eligibility requirements, the mechanisms used to announce program funds, the application process and mechanisms for scientific review, and the mechanisms for program oversight and review.
