P and F Program

项目总结：试点和可行性方案 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了足够的资金来获得 用于外部机构授予的研究经费申请的可靠的初步数据， 尤其是NIDDK。除了研究经费，P/F奖获得者还得到C-Sig的指导 领导力，并通过C-Sig丰富为职业发展提供机会 程序。因此，P/F计划允许C-Sig培育和加强新的 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调查人员(类型N)仅 开始了他们在消化疾病研究方面的职业生涯。建议也被接受来自现有的， 受资助的研究人员，他们是消化系统疾病研究的新手(类型EN)，希望测试 他们的专业知识在与消化疾病相关的问题上的适用性。P/F计划通常 每年为最多四个未完成的提案提供资金，每年总计10万美元。自2009年以来 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E型、0名E型)，第一年的奖励范围从 每年直接成本为25,000-40,000美元(平均奖励30,000美元)。此外，P/F收件人 有资格角逐新的支持调查员奖，该奖项提供第二年的 向一名P/F奖获得者提供资助(最高50,000美元)，该获奖者在以下方面取得了非凡的进步 第一年。自2009年C-Sig启动以来，已颁发了7个指定的支持调查员奖 为有功绩的P/F项目提供第二年资金(平均每年奖励39,000美元 [20,000-50,000美元；总计275,000美元](由Mayo提供)。截至2018年5月，19/26(73%)P/F奖励 接受者已经获得了独立的联邦资金。 已经制定了详细和严格的同行审查程序，以挑选最高级别的项目 质量。在这一过程中建立了一种机制，向所有符合条件的人提供详细的建设性批评 申请者，包括那些没有资金的人。以下各节详细介绍了资格要求、 用于公布计划资金的机制、申请程序和机制 审查，以及计划监督和审查的机制。

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.
