ABSTRACT (Pilot Project Program) The Pilot Project Program (PPP) contributes to the mission of the Michigan Center on Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease (M-LEEaD) by supporting pilot projects that encourage innovation, creativity, and multidisciplinary collaborations, especially among basic scientists, clinical researchers, and community and regulatory stakeholders. The Pilot Project Program is an important mechanism for attracting new individuals to our Center and for providing support to generate preliminary data to compete for external funding. The aims of the Pilot Project Program are to: 1) attract established investigators new to our Center who can provide new insights and approaches to questions regarding the relationships between lifestage environmental exposures and disease; 2) encourage innovation, creativity, and multidisciplinary collaborations, especially between basic scientists, clinical researchers, and community and regulatory stakeholders; 3) facilitate our Center members' ability to respond quickly and effectively to new and quick-turnaround research opportunities, especially those from NIEHS; and 4) provide important support for early-stage investigators to generate preliminary data for developing independent research projects and compete for independent funding. This approach was successful in the previous funding periods as evidenced by the number of junior faculty supported, the new collaborations that were formed, the participation of scientists new to environmental health research that participated in Center activities as a result of the Pilot Project Program, the number of external grant applications submitted, the number of resulting publications, and career advancement, all as summarized in the Research Strategy. Important advances in the administration of the Pilot Project Program during the last cycle include: 1) the further advancement and refinement of a reviewer consortium with other P30 centers to help improve objectivity of the reviews as well as avoid conflicts of interest that can result from reviews by others in the same institution; 2) a modified scoring system and additional pilot funds to enhance community engagement; and 3) a rapid response mechanism for funding exploratory work in high priority areas with a very short turnaround time. In the next cycle of the Pilot Project Program, we will build on the momentum generated in the current funding period by continuing the wide distribution of the Request for Applications throughout the School of Public Health and the Medical School, continuing the reviewer consortium and continuing to promote the use of our Core facilities. We will also continue our practice of including a CEC member on the review committee responsible for ranking of the proposals to assure their input. Together, these practices will continue the groundbreaking research developed in the initial cycles of the Pilot Project Program to advance a comprehensive and integrated environmental health paradigm.

摘要（试点项目计划） 试点项目计划 (PPP) 有助于实现密歇根生命阶段环境中心的使命 暴露与疾病 (M-LEEaD)，支持鼓励创新、创造力和创新的试点项目 多学科合作，特别是基础科学家、临床研究人员和社区之间的合作 监管利益相关者。试点项目计划是吸引新人加入的重要机制 我们的中心并为生成初步数据以竞争外部资金提供支持。的目标 试点项目计划旨在： 1) 吸引新加入我们中心的现有研究人员，他们可以提供新的 关于生命阶段环境暴露之间关系问题的见解和方法 和疾病； 2）鼓励创新、创造力和多学科合作，特别是基础学科之间的合作 科学家、临床研究人员以及社区和监管利益相关者； 3) 促进我们中心会员的 能够快速有效地响应新的和快速周转的研究机会，尤其是那些 来自 NIEHS； 4）为早期研究人员生成初步数据提供重要支持 开发独立研究项目并竞争独立资金。这种方法是 从支持的初级教员数量可以看出，新的资助项目在之前的资助期间取得了成功 所形成的合作、刚接触环境健康研究的科学家的参与 由于试点项目计划而参与中心活动的数量、外部赠款的数量 提交的申请、发表的出版物数量以及职业发展，所有这些都总结在 研究策略。去年试点项目计划管理方面取得的重要进展 周期包括：1) 与其他 P30 中心一起进一步推进和完善审稿联盟，以 有助于提高审查的客观性，并避免审查可能导致的利益冲突 同一机构的其他人； 2) 修改评分系统和额外试点资金以增强社区 订婚; 3）快速反应机制，为高度优先领域的探索性工作提供资金 周转时间短。在试点项目计划的下一个周期中，我们将利用所产生的势头 在当前的资助期内，继续广泛分发申请请求 公共卫生学院和医学院，继续评审联盟并继续推广 使用我们的核心设施。我们还将继续将 CEC 成员纳入审查的做法 委员会负责对提案进行排名，以确保他们的意见。这些做法将共同持续下去 在试点项目计划的初始周期中开发的突破性研究，以推进 全面综合的环境健康范式。
