RESEARCH PILOT PROJECT PROGRAM

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 在科布雷项目主任罗杰·科普的指导和指导下，将开展一项为期五年的研究试点项目，为期一年或两年。该计划的目标将是鼓励研究人员开发新技术，并为未来的NIH拨款申请生成初步数据。将优先考虑那些在催生新技术和增加阿肯色大学校园内NIH支持基础方面有希望的试点项目。研究先导项目计划的年度预算将包括200,000美元的NIH Cobre基金和150,000美元的配套资金，使年度预算总额达到350,000美元(直接成本)。一个由六人组成的委员会将每年审查提案，并将根据创新、拟议研究的质量以及可持续资金和真正的科学突破的前景来建议资金优先事项。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. A five-year program involving research pilot projects of one- or two-year duration will be conducted under the guidance and direction of the COBRE Program Director, Roger Koeppe. The goals of the program will be to encourage investigators to develop new technologies and generate preliminary data for future NIH grant applications. Priority will be given to pilot projects that show promise for spawning new technologies and increasing the base of NIH support available on the University of Arkansas campus. The annual budget for the Research Pilot Project Program will consist of $200,000 in NIH COBRE funds supplemented with $150,000 in matching funds, to give a total annual budget of $350,000 (direct costs). A six-person committee will review proposals annually and will recommend funding priorities based upon innovation, the quality of the proposed research and the prospects for sustainable funding and bona fide scientific breakthroughs.
