The Pilot Project program of the Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics (CBSD) COBRE is designed to seed the research programs of junior investigators and to provide established investigators with funding to move their research programs in new directions. This program builds on the success of a similar program implemented during phases I and II of the CBSD COBRE. The 28 Pilot Projects funded during previous phases of COBRE support led to 32 grant awards that brought in a total of $15.5 million of funding to CBSD investigators. The Pilot Project program also led to a large increase in the use of the four COBRE-supported research cores and an associated increase in recharge income. We will continue to stimulate the growth of CBSD research funding and the use of our research cores by allocating COBRE and institutional funds to sustain this valuable program. As in phases I and II of COBRE support, we will use the Pilot Project program to seed the careers of junior investigators (specific aim 1) and to assist established investigators in pursuing new research directions (specific aim 2). To expand the impact of this program on the growth of our research enterprise and to enhance the capabilities of our research cores during phase III, we also will prioritize Pilot Projects that involve multi-PI collaborations (specific aim 3) or drive the development of new core technologies (specific aim 4). The former will allow for the development of grant submissions with a strong competitive edge and the latter will help to keep our research cores at the technological forefront. Critical to the success of our Pilot Project program will be effective mentoring programs (specific aim 5), such as the Hot Water grant writing workshop. We will continue to improve the Pilot Project program by evaluating its effectiveness with annual input from our External Advisory Committee so that we can maximize its impact on our research endeavors. The proven track-record of the Pilot Project program to increase the research funding and productivity of CBSD investigators and to drive technological development in our research cores is a key element of our strategic plan to sustain the CBSD after phase III COBRE funding.

设计了生物分子结构与动力学中心（CBSD）cobre的试点项目计划 为初级调查人员的研究计划播种，并向既定的研究人员提供资金 将他们的研究计划朝新方向移动。该程序以类似程序的成功为基础 在CBSD Cobre的第I和II阶段实施。以前阶段资助的28个飞行员项目 毛bre的支持导致了32个赠款奖，从而为CBSD带来了1550万美元的资金 调查人员。飞行员项目计划还导致了四个毛线支持的使用大幅增加 研究核心以及补给收入的增加。我们将继续刺激 CBSD研究资金和我们的研究核心的使用，通过将cobre和机构资金分配给 维持这个有价值的计划。就像在COBRE支持的第一阶段和第二阶段一样，我们将使用试点项目计划 播种初级调查人员的职业（特定目的1），并协助既定研究者追求新 研究方向（特定目标2）。扩大该计划对我们研究增长的影响 企业并增强第三阶段研究核心的能力，我们还将优先考虑飞行员 涉及多PI合作的项目（特定目标3）或推动开发新核心 技术（特定目标4）。前者将允许建立强大的赠款提交 竞争优势和后者将有助于使我们的研究核心处于技术最前沿。对 我们的飞行员项目计划的成功将是有效的指导计划（特定的目标5），例如Hot 水赠款写作讲习班。我们将通过评估其试点项目计划来改善试点项目 我们的外部咨询委员会的年度投入有效性，以便我们可以最大化其对 我们的研究努力。试验项目计划的验证录制率是增加研究资金的 CBSD调查人员的生产力并在我们的研究核心中推动技术发展是关键 我们在第三阶段索布里资金后维持CBSD的战略计划的要素。
