Pilot and Feasibility Program: Summary The Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Program has been major pillar of success for the UCSF-NORC, and we expect it to be a critical element of it's future growth and development. This program annually provides $50,000 of funding to a minimum of 3 proposals that are exploratory in nature. P&F Awards allow applicants to collect the preliminary data for subsequent grant applications that are needed to for these investigators to develop sustained, long-term new research directions. The intentions of this program relate directly to the major UCSF- NORC goal of strengthening a growing interactive community of Obesity & Nutrition researchers by: − Helping new investigators and junior faculty establish NORC-relevant research programs − Attracting scientists with established programs in other areas of research into the fields of nutritional sciences, obesity, and related disorders. − Fostering highly innovative techniques, tools, and directions in basic and clinical obesity- and nutrition- related research, including clinical studies in minority and other underserved patient groups. − Developing new and innovative collaborations among NORC investigators and between NORC investigators and faculty members from other disciplines. A straightforward guideline-driven review process is used to select P&F proposal for funding. The request for applications is conducted through a UCSF-wide website, the Research Allocation Program, that today lists over 30 intramural funding opportunities. UCSF investigators routinely turn to this site to identify intramural research opportunities, which ensures that the NORC P&F program is able to reach its primary target of junior investigators and those new to the nutrition, obesity and metabolism field. The review process involves an initial assessment of each application by an ad hoc internal NORC committee that includes the UCSF-NORC P&F Program Director and the Directors of the other NORC Programs, after which promising applications are sent out for review by extramural academic researchers knowledgeable about the types of projects being proposed, and also often involved with intramural P&F programs at their own institutions. After scores are returned, applications are ranked and the initial intramural committee allocates grants accordingly, while also ensuring that funded projects reflect a diversity of research areas. The committee also identifies established researchers to mentor P&F awardees who are junior and/or new to the field. The collection of success metrics, regular review of the P&F program by the NORC Executive Committee and advice on P&F funding by our External Board has ensured that the program continues in a high quality manner.

飞行员和可行性计划：摘要 飞行员和可行性（P＆F）计划是UCSF-NORC成功的主要支柱，我们希望 它是其未来增长和发展的关键要素。该计划每年提供$ 50,000 至少有3个探索性的建议。 P＆F奖项允许申请收集 这些调查人员需要的后续赠款应用程序的初步数据 持续的长期新研究指示。该程序的意图与主要的UCSF- NORC的目标是加强肥胖与营养研究人员的互动社区： - 帮助新的研究人员和初级教师机构NORC与与之相关的研究计划 - 在营养领域的其他研究领域中吸引科学家 科学，肥胖和相关疾病。 - 培养基本和临床肥胖和营养的高度创新技术，工具和方向 相关研究，包括少数民族和其他服务不足的患者群体的临床研究。 - 在NORC调查人员之间以及NORC之间建立新的创新合作 来自其他学科的调查人员和教职员工。 直接的指导驱动审核过程用于选择资金的P＆F提案。请求 应用程序是通过UCSF范围内的网站（研究分配计划）进行的，该计划今天列出 超过30个壁内资金机会。 UCSF调查人员通常转向此站点以识别壁内 研究机会，确保NORC P＆F计划能够达到其初级目标的主要目标 研究人员以及那些是营养，肥胖和代谢领域的新手。 审查过程涉及临时内部NORC委员会对每种申请的初步评估 其中包括UCSF-NORC P＆F计划主任和其他NORC计划的董事 在校外学术研究人员了解到的有关哪些有希望的申请以供审查 提出的项目类型，也经常涉及壁内生产计划 机构。返回分数后，申请排名，最初的壁内委员会分配 因此，赠款还确保资助的项目反映了各种各样的研究领域。这 委员会还确定了既定的研究人员的精神P＆F获奖者，他们是初中和/或新手 场地。 收集成功指标的收集，NORC执行委员会的定期审查P＆F计划以及 我们的外部董事会对P＆F资金的建议确保了该计划以高质量继续 方式。
