The center's Pilot Project Program represents the most critical mechanism to promote new and innovative investigational endeavors by young center scientists and established scientists from other fields. It fosters a transition of senior postdocs and early-stage investigators to the pathway to independence in their chosen research topics related to the center's theme. It facilitates generation of new leading-edge studies by established investigators from other fields on research subjects of our emphasis via collaboration with the center members and support from the center's cores. During the past 5 years, the Program has supported 12 investigators. Of these, 8 received the support for 2 or 3 years on the same projects. Ten funded investigators published or submitted total 21 manuscripts; 6 senior postdocs/junior scientists were promoted to faculty positions; 7 acquired NIH grants (4 R01, 1 K01, 1 R21, 1 R03 awards) and 4 foundation grants with 4 additional pending grants. We attribute this successful outcome to the program's interactive support via the cores, progress report meeting and annual symposium, single-topic workshops, educational programs and cross-utilization of complementary expertise. In the next funding cycle, the Program will continue to promote generation of new cutting-edge science in the field of ALPD and cirrhosis by pursuing the following five specific aims: 1) to explore and identify new and innovative research in pursuit of the center's research theme; 2) to identify and recruit new and qualified senior postdocs and young scientists into our field of interest and support their transition to academic independence; 3) to identify and recruit established investigators with expertise in other fields into research relevant to the center's theme; 4) support the growth of meritorious but unfunded studies into competitive projects that attract NIH support through R01 and other mechanisms; and 5) to integrate the center's other supportive mechanisms such as cores, educational and training programs, and training programs, and collaborative opportunities to maximize the potential of pilot projects for maturing to competitive studies.

该中心的试点项目计划是促进年轻中心科学家以及其他领域的科学家的最关键机制。它促进了高级博士后和早期研究人员的过渡到与中心主题相关的选择研究主题的独立之路。它通过与中心成员的合作以及中心的核心支持，促进了其他领域的知名研究对我们重点研究对象的研究人员的新领先研究的生成。在过去的5年中，该计划支持了12位调查人员。其中，有8个在同一项目上获得了2或3年的支持。十位资助的调查人员发表或提交了21项手稿； 6名高级博士后/初级科学家被提升为教师职位； 7项获得的NIH赠款（4 R01、1 K01、1 R21、1 R03奖项）和4项基金会补助金，并提供4个额外的待处理赠款。我们通过核心，进度报告会议和年度研讨会，单主题研讨会，教育计划以及互补专业知识的交叉利用来归因于该计划的互动支持。在下一个融资周期中，该计划将通过追求以下五个具体目标来促进ALPD和Cirrhosis领域的新尖端科学的产生：1）探索和识别新的，创新的研究以追求该中心的研究主题； 2）确定并招募新的和合格的高级博士后和年轻科学家进入我们感兴趣的领域，并支持他们向学术独立过渡； 3）确定并招募在其他领域具有专业知识的研究人员，以与该中心主题相关的研究； 4）支持对通过R01和其他机制吸引NIH支持的竞争项目的有功但无资金的研究； 5）为了整合中心的其他支持机制，例如核心，教育和培训计划以及培训计划，以及协作机会，以最大程度地提高试点项目的潜力，以使竞争性研究成熟。
