Pilot Projects Program

科布雷中枢神经系统功能中心旨在过渡到一项自我维持的研究-- 为布朗大学和罗德岛神经科学研究社区服务的服务组织。一个 实现这一目标的促进因素需要继续和扩大现有的试点项目方案， 这是我们在Cobre的第一阶段开始的。我们设计了我们的试点项目计划，以参与和 支持早期研究人员，并为寻求新研究方向的知名研究人员提供资金。 试点项目负责人将为我们的可持续发展目标做出贡献，因为他们将使用我们的核心设施，从而 有助于它们的生长和对神经科学研究人员的实用。此外，我们希望获奖者 将成功地从联邦资助机构，特别是NIH获得外部资金，从而产生更多 独立调查人员，他们将为我们的研究和教学环境做出贡献。我们的试点项目 该计划继续并扩展了我们正在进行的指导计划。

The COBRE Center for Central Nervous System Function aims to transition to a self-sustaining research- service organization to serve the Brown University and Rhode Island neuroscience-research community. A contributing factor to achieve this goal entails continuing and expanding the existing Pilot Project Program, which we began in Phase 1 of our COBRE. We have designed our Pilot Project Program to engage and support early-stage investigators and also to fund established investigators who seek new research directions. The Pilot Project Leaders will contribute to our sustainability goals since they will use our core facilities, thereby contributing to their growth and utility to neuroscience researchers. Additionally, we expect that the awardees will successfully garner external funds from Federal funding agencies, especially the NIH, thus yielding more independent investigators who will contribute to our research and teaching environment. Our Pilot Project Program continues and expands our ongoing mentoring program.
