North Carolina Diabetes Research Center

项目概要/摘要-试点和可行性方案 北卡罗来纳州糖尿病研究中心（NCDRC）寻求提供研究支持，以探索可行性 与国家疾病控制与康复中心目标有关的概念，并提供一个机制，以产生足够的初步数据 建立竞争性融资机制。我们将支持符合要求的试点和可行性（P&F）研究 该中心的使命是将有前途的调查人员与新颖的资源联系起来， 广泛提供，并将糖尿病研究的新个体与所需的专业知识和资源联系起来， 将他们的新想法和方法付诸实践。在这两种情况下，最高优先级将给予早期职业生涯 研究人员（即那些没有事先R 01或同等资金的人），尽管我们将接受既定的支持 具有高度创新性的新方向或伙伴关系的研究人员。NCDRC P&F计划将提供早期 职业调查员和已建立的调查员寻求扩大其研究组合的资金支持， 获得独特的核心资源，将新颖的想法和方法付诸实践。与现有的CTSA一起， P&F计划将加强初级调查员的职业轨迹，例如指导，并扩大 为所有成员提供合作环境。

Project Summary/Abstract - Pilot and Feasibility Program The North Carolina Diabetes Research Center (NCDRC) seeks to provide research support to explore feasibility of concepts related to the NCDRC’s goals, and to provide a mechanism to generate sufficient preliminary data to pursue competitive funding mechanisms. We will support Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) studies that are aligned with the Center’s mission of connecting promising investigators with resources that are novel and not generally widely available, and connect individuals new to diabetes research with the expertise and resources needed to bring their novel ideas and approaches to fruition. In both cases, the highest priority will be given to early-career investigators (i.e. those without prior R01 or equivalent funding), although we will entertain support of established investigators with highly innovative new directions or partnerships. The NCDRC P&F program will provide early career investigators and established investigators seeking to expand their research portfolio funding support and access to unique core resources to bring novel ideas and approaches to fruition. Together with existing CTSAs, the P&F program will enhance the career trajectory of junior investigators, e.g. mentoring, and expand the collaborative environment for all members.
