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 本土酒精研究和教育中心 (NCARE) 的目标是培育创新研究 关于美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民 (AI/AN) 因酒精使用障碍 (AUD) 造成的健康不平等， 包括其预防、诊断、治疗和整个生命周期的后果。一项关键战略 实现这一目标的目的是资助试点项目，开发新的方法来改善人工智能/AN人口 健康。试点项目提供了一种培育新兴研究领域、探索新方法和追求的方法 新的区域和国家合作可能演变成独立资助的研究或示范 项目。现有的基于大学的试点资助选项提供的金额有限（例如 5,000 美元至 10,000 美元）， 通常不足以进行基于社区的研究，并且通常仅限于家庭研究人员 机构。 NCARE 试点项目核心旨在确定并分配大量资金来支持 严格测试实践、治疗、教育工作和政策的试点项目，这些项目可以影响持续、 由于 AUD，AI/AN 健康差距普遍缩小。我们将招募广泛的调查员 来自 NCARE 和外部机构的人员可以在试点项目的支持下开始或扩大他们的研究 核。鉴于对美国国立研究院资助的科学劳动力老龄化的严重担忧 健康，以及同样令人担忧的少数族裔首席研究员的缺乏，我们将鼓励来自 初级教师和 AI/AN 研究者。试点项目核心将为研究提供无数可能性，包括 但不限于 AUD 的病因学、生物学、遗传学、诊断、治疗和预防的研究 它们的生物医学、社会心理和经济后果。我们的具体目标是： 1) 创建一个试点项目 资助对澳元和相关健康不平等具有有意义影响的创新试点项目的核心 AI/AN 社区； 2) 将科学审查过程作为初级研究者的学习机会 渴望复习经验的NCARE会员； 3) 开发集中研究服务以支持 领导 NCARE 试点项目的研究人员，包括对酒精有浓厚兴趣的初级研究人员 研究。我们还将利用我们在其他小额赠款计划方面的成功经验，提供财务、 为提案符合我们严格标准的研究人员提供后勤和科学资源。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政资源，这 方法将培育一个创新和严谨研究的生态系统。试点项目核心的活动 将支持全国范围内的研究人员，从而促进新科学方法的发展， 与全国范围内创新的、目标导向的 AUD 研究相关的技术和方法。
