PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT (PILOT AND FEASIBILITY PROGRAM) The Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Program is a critical and integral component of the Pennington/Louisiana NORC. The purpose is to stimulate outstanding research in nutrition and obesity which is aligned with our NORC programmatic theme “Nutrition, Obesity and Metabolic Health through the Lifespan.” The NORC gives highest priority to translational research related to NORC theme(s). Awards are primarily to young promising investigators to help establish their research careers. The selected research proposals receive funds to support costs of the project plus use of the NORC Scientific Cores. Although the level of support from this program for each individual project is relatively modest, this type of start-up funding is frequently the most difficult to identify in the research setting. Institutional commitment of funds to the NORC P&F Program has been strong and consistent with Pennington Biomedical contributing approximately 50% of the total money put into the NORC P&F program. We expect to at least keep the current level of institutional support and even aim to increase it in the next funding cycle (from sister Louisiana academic institutions and philanthropy). With these institutional funds, the P&F Program has been innovative and supported new initiatives such as multi- disciplinary and multi-institutional proposal solicitations to stimulate collaboration and has worked collaboratively with other centers to leverage resources. The P&F Program has operated efficiently and has yielded outstanding productivity. Overall, from 2004 to November 2020, 58% of all P&F award recipients have received additional investigator-initiated funding. The P&F grant program is a vibrant part of the NORC, enabling exciting new lines of research that have resulted in successful new K and R proposals and awards. According to members’ feedback, the P&F Program is running smoothly and achieving its purpose of stimulating research. Based on the existing infrastructure, we will now expand the Program to increase the integration of Louisiana NORC institutions, using committed institutional funds and potentially more philanthropic funding from our Pennington Biomedical Research Foundation.

项目摘要/摘要（试点和可行性计划） 试点和可行性 (P&F) 计划是彭宁顿/路易斯安那 NORC 的重要组成部分。 目的是促进与我们的 NORC 一致的营养和肥胖方面的杰出研究 纲领主题“终生营养、肥胖和代谢健康”。 优先考虑与 NORC 主题相关的转化研究，奖项主要颁发给有前途的年轻人。 调查人员帮助建立他们的研究生涯。选定的研究提案获得资金 该项目的支持成本加上 NORC 科学核心的使用，尽管由此提供的支持水平。 每个项目的计划相对温和，这种类型的启动资金通常是最多的 在研究环境中很难确定对 NORC P&F 计划的资金承诺。 表现强劲，与 Pennington Biomedical 保持一致，贡献了总资金的约 50% 我们希望至少保持目前的机构支持水平，甚至目标。 在下一个资助周期中增加资金（来自路易斯安那州姐妹学术机构和慈善事业）。 在这些机构资金中，P&F 计划具有创新性并支持新举措，例如多 学科和多机构提案征集以促进合作并取得了成效 与其他中心合作以利用资源。 总体而言，从 2004 年到 2020 年 11 月，所有 P&F 获奖者中有 58% 的人实现了卓越的生产力。 获得了研究者发起的额外资助 P&F 资助计划是 NORC 的一个充满活力的部分，使之成为可能。 令人兴奋的新研究领域带来了成功的新 K 和 R 提案和奖项。 根据会员的反馈，P&F 计划运行顺利，达到了促进研究的目的。 基于现有的基础设施，我们现在将扩展该计划，以加强路易斯安那州的一体化 NORC 机构，使用承诺的机构资金和我们可能提供的更多慈善资金 彭宁顿生物医学研究基金会。
