ABSTRACT – PILOT PROJECT PROGRAM The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Environmental Research and Translation for Health (EaRTH) Center offers the unique opportunity to support and grow an environmental health community at a premier multidisciplinary biomedical research institution with nearly 5,000 faculty members with expertise spanning basic, translational, clinical, and population arenas. Despite being the top NIH-funded public university, only 0.7% of NIH funding at UCSF currently comes from NIEHS. The EaRTH Center Pilot Project Program provides a mechanism to increase the amount of environmental health research at UCSF by tapping into the existing broad research base. By providing seed funds for exploratory studies, EaRTH Pilot Project awards will lower hurdles to initiating novel directions in environmental research and grow the pipeline of researchers and clinicians in environmental health. We will support the mission of the EaRTH Center by enabling cutting edge, exploratory research in areas directly related to environmental health. This goal is promoted by supporting basic, translational, epidemiological and clinical research projects through Core facilities as well as providing interaction with a community of researchers through the EaRTH Center. A Research Pilot Award will allow new or established faculty to rapidly transfer skills and developments from other research areas to the arena of environmental health research. A Mentored Scientist Award specifically for early-stage investigators will support innovative research projects and provide career and mentoring in environmental health research. A Mentored Clinician Award, administered jointly with the Community Engagement Core (CEC), for clinicians will provide dedicated time for a clinician to gain experience in environmental health. The Pilot Project Program will stimulate research that fills gaps in the area of environmental health in development and preconception at UCSF. To streamline the application process and to capture the largest number of high quality applications with innovative projects proposed from researchers outside of environmental health, we will conduct the RFA through the broadly used UCSF Resource Allocation Program (RAP). Evaluation metrics will be applied to the pilot projects to assess and promote success of projects and the overall program. The UCSF EaRTH Center engagement with the entire UCSF scientific community will enable discussions of the application of interdisciplinary approaches to environmental health research. This ensures our pilot grant recipients have full access to local expertise, which assists their entry into, and staying power in, environmental health-related areas.

摘要 – 试点项目计划 加州大学旧金山分校 (UCSF) 健康环境研究与转化 (EaRTH) 中心提供了独特的机会来支持和发展环境健康社区 首屈一指的多学科生物医学研究机构，拥有近 5,000 名具有专业知识的教职员工 尽管是美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 资助的顶尖公立大学，但它涵盖基础、转化、临床和人口领域。 目前 UCSF 的 NIH 资金中只有 0.7% 来自 NIEHS 地球中心试点项目计划。 提供了一种机制，通过利用 通过为探索性研究提供种子资金，EaRTH 试点项目将授予现有广泛的研究基础。 降低环境研究新方向的障碍，扩大研究人员队伍 我们将通过支持尖端技术来支持地球中心的使命。 通过支持基础的、与环境健康直接相关的领域的探索性研究来促进这一目标。 通过核心设施开展转化、流行病学和临床研究项目并提供互动 通过地球中心的研究试点奖将允许新的或 建立教师队伍是为了将其他研究领域的技能和发展迅速转移到 环境健康研究将获得专门针对早期研究人员的导师科学家奖。 支持创新研究项目并提供环境健康研究方面的职业和指导。 指导临床医生奖，与社区参与核心 (CEC) 联合管理，奖励信徒 试点项目计划将为临床医生提供专门的时间来获得环境健康方面的经验。 刺激研究，填补加州大学旧金山分校环境健康领域发展和先入为主的空白。 简化申请流程并获取最大数量的高质量申请 环境健康以外的研究人员提出的创新项目，我们将通过以下方式进行 RFA： 广泛使用的 UCSF 资源分配计划 (RAP) 评估指标将应用于试点。 评估和促进项目和整体计划成功的项目。 整个加州大学旧金山分校科学界的参与将有助于讨论 跨学科方法进行环境健康研究，这确保了我们的试点资助获得者能够充分利用这些方法。 获得当地的专业知识，这有助于他们进入环境健康相关领域并保持活力。
