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.

生物分子结构与动力学中心（CBSD）COBRE试点项目方案设计 为初级研究人员的研究项目提供种子，并为已建立的研究人员提供资金 将他们的研究项目推向新的方向。该计划建立在类似计划的成功之上 在 CBSD COBRE 的第一阶段和第二阶段实施。前期资助的28个试点项目 的 COBRE 支持带来了 32 项赠款，为 CBSD 带来了总计 1550 万美元的资金 调查人员。试点项目计划还导致 COBRE 支持的四种技术的使用大幅增加 研究核心以及相关的充值收入增加。我们将继续刺激增长 CBSD 研究经费以及通过将 COBRE 和机构资金分配给我们的研究核心来使用 维持这个有价值的计划。与 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来 为初级研究人员的职业生涯奠定基础（具体目标 1），并协助已建立的研究人员追求新的 研究方向（具体目标2）。扩大该计划对我们研究发展的影响 为了增强我们第三阶段研究核心的能力，我们也会优先考虑试点 涉及多PI合作（具体目标3）或推动新核心开发的项目 技术（具体目标 4）。前者将允许开发具有强大优势的赠款申请 竞争优势，后者将有助于我们的研究核心保持在技术前沿。至关重要 我们的试点项目计划的成功将是有效的指导计划（具体目标 5），例如 Hot 水补助写作研讨会。我们将通过评估其试点项目计划来继续改进 我们的外部咨询委员会每年都会提供意见，以便我们能够最大限度地发挥其影响 我们的研究工作。增加研究经费的试点项目计划的良好记录 CBSD 研究人员的生产力和生产力并推动我们研究核心的技术发展是关键 这是我们在第三阶段 COBRE 融资后维持 CBSD 的战略计划的一部分。
