CORE--PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

该中心的主要目标是促进成员开发具有潜在高科学回报的创新研究方向;协助和鼓励目前未从事老龄化研究的研究人员参与;并鼓励和促进新的年轻研究人员进入该领域。满足这三个目标还应有助于第四个目标--向NIA和其他联邦政府提出R 01、R 03、P01和其他提案 社.该核心基金为试点研究项目提供资金，是实现这些目标的主要手段，因此对中心的成功极为重要。核心领导人将每年两次邀请成员提交建议，有时征求建议。然后，他会将它们分类：有些他会拒绝，有些他会带着修改的建议寄回去，有些他会原样转交给行政核心进行评估和决定。 行政核心将提案发送给咨询委员会，咨询委员会将通过电子邮件回复，并在必要时通过电话或电子邮件讨论提案。将决定是否提供资金，以及在什么水平。一旦这些决定已经作出，他们将被传达给学术协调员谁将安排通过其他行政核心工作人员的实际资金。试点资金接受者将在项目完成后提供一份简要的成果报告。过去和正在进行的试点项目的名称和说明将在获得资金后在网上公布。结果的简要记录将张贴在CEDA网站上。关于试点项目的结果和成果的说明将列入提交国家评估局的下一份年度报告。这里包括四个试点提案。试点项目将利用行政核心的行政、方案编制和数据访问资源，在某些情况下，还将利用外部创新网络核心将数据或软件放在网上。

Leading goals of the Center are to facilitate the development of innovative research directions with potentially high scientific payoffby members; to assist and encourage researchers not currently engaged in research on aging to become engaged; and to encourage and facilitate the entry of new young researchers into the field. Meeting these three goals should also contribute to a fourth - to generate R01, R03, P01, and other proposals to NIA and other federal agencies. This Core, which funds pilot research projects, is the main instrument by which these goals may be achieved, and it is therefore extremely important to the success of the Center. The Core Leader will twice yearly invite the members to submit proposals, and at times solicit proposals. He will then triage them: some he will reject, some he will send back with suggestions for revision, and some he will forward as is to the administrative Core for evaluation and decision. The administrative Core will send the proposal to the Advisory Committee, who will respond by email, and if necessary discuss the proposal by phone or email. A decision will be made on whether to fund, and at what level. Once these decisions have been made, they will be communicated to the Academic Coordinator who will arrange for actual funding through the other administrative Core staff. Pilot funding recipients will provide a brief write-up of results when the project is completed. Titles and descriptions of past and on-going pilot projects will be posted on the web when they are funded. The brief write-ups of results will be posted on the CEDA website. A description of results and outcomes of the pilot projects will be included in the next annual report to NIA. Four pilot proposals are included here. The pilot projects will draw on the administrative, programming and data access resources of the administrative Core, and in some cases on the external innovative network Core for placement of data or software on the web.
