PILOT PROJECT CORE ABSTRACT The goal of the Native Center for Alcohol Research and Education (NCARE) is to nurture innovative research on health inequities among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) due to alcohol use disorders (AUDs), including their prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and consequences across the lifespan. One critical strategy for achieving this goal is to fund pilot projects that will develop novel approaches to improving AI/AN population health. Pilot projects provide a way to seed emerging research areas, explore new methodologies, and pursue new regional and national collaborations that could evolve into independently funded research or demonstration projects. Existing university-based options for pilot funding provide limited sums (e.g., $5,000-$10,000) that are often inadequate to conduct community-based research and are typically restricted to investigators at the home institution. The Pilot Project Core of NCARE is designed to identify and allocate substantial funding to support pilot projects that rigorously test practices, treatments, educational efforts, and policies that can effect sustained, widespread reductions in AI/AN health disparities due to AUDs. We will recruit a broad range of investigators from NCARE and outside institutions who can begin or augment their research with support from the Pilot Project Core. Given serious concerns about the aging of the scientific workforce funded by the National Institutes of Health, and the equally worrisome dearth of minority Principal Investigators, we will encourage applications from junior faculty and AI/AN investigators. The Pilot Project Core will offer myriad possibilities for research, including but not limited to studies of the etiology, biology, genetics, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of AUDs and their biomedical, psychosocial, and economic consequences. Our Specific Aims are to: 1) Create a Pilot Project Core to fund innovative Pilot Projects with meaningful implications for AUDs and related health inequities in AI/AN communities; 2) Use the scientific review process as a learning opportunity for junior investigators and NCARE members who desire reviewing experience; and 3) Develop centralized research services that support the investigators who lead NCARE Pilot Projects, including junior investigators with a strong interest in alcohol research. We will also leverage our successful experience with other small grant programs to offer financial, logistical, and scientific resources to researchers whose proposals meet our rigorous criteria. By creating a centralized research support service and allocating substantial financial resources for NCARE Pilot Projects, this approach will foster an ecosystem of innovative and rigorous research. The activities of the Pilot Project Core will support investigators nationwide, thereby contributing to the development of new scientific methods, technologies, and approaches pertinent to innovative, goal-directed AUD research on a national scale.

试点项目核心摘要 土著酒精研究与教育中心（NCARE）的目标是培养创新的研究 关于美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/ANS）的健康不平等，由于酒精使用障碍（AUD）， 包括他们的预防，诊断，治疗和整个生命周期的后果。一个关键策略 实现这一目标是为试点项目提供资金，这些项目将开发新的方法来改善人口/人口 健康。试点项目提供了一种播种新兴研究领域，探索新方法和追求的方法 可以发展为独立资助的研究或演示的新区域和民族合作 项目。现有的基于大学的试点资金期权提供有限的款项（例如，$ 5,000- $ 10,000） 通常不足以进行基于社区的研究，通常仅限于家庭的调查人员 机构。 NCARE的试点项目核心旨在识别并分配大量资金以支持 试点预测，严格测试实践，治疗，教育工作和政策，这些实践可以持续， AI/A AI的健康差异的广泛减少。我们将招募广泛的调查员 来自NCARE和外部机构，他们可以在试点项目的支持下开始或增强研究 核。考虑到对由国家研究所资助的科学劳动力的老化的严重关注 健康，以及少数族裔首席调查员的令人担忧的匮乏，我们将鼓励申请 初级教职员工和AI/AN研究人员。试点项目核心将为研究提供无数的可能性，包括 但不仅限于对澳元的病因，生物学，遗传学，诊断，治疗和预防的研究 他们的生物医学，社会心理和经济后果。我们的具体目的是：1）创建一个试点项目 核心资助创新的试点项目，对AUDS和相关健康不平等的有意义影响 人工智能/一个社区； 2）使用科学审查过程作为初级研究人员的学习机会 想要审查经验的NCARE成员； 3）开发支持支持的集中研究服务 领导NCARE飞行员项目的调查人员，包括对酒精感兴趣的初级调查员 研究。我们还将利用我们在其他小型赠款计划中的成功经验来提供财务， 后勤和科学资源对研究人员的科学资源符合我们严格的标准。通过创建一个 集中研究支持服务并为NCARE试点项目分配大量财务资源，这 方法将促进创新和严格研究的生态系统。飞行员项目核心的活动 将在全国范围内支持调查人员，从而为发展新科学方法的发展做出贡献， 技术，以及与创新的，目标指导的AUD研究有关的技术。
