SUMMARY The Wake Forest Translational Alcohol Research Center (WF-TARC) Pilot Core will provide a mechanism for evolution of the Center by incorporating new and innovative research areas and technical expertise, and provide seed funding to junior investigators to help them obtain independent funding of their own. We are proposing a program with $100,000 available each year to fund four Pilot Projects. The selection process involves 1) a call for proposals, 2) analysis of the proposals by two non-Center reviewers, either from the External Advisory Board or ad-hoc scientists with particular technical or topical expertise relevant to the project, and 3) the reviewers assign priority scores to the projects, and the highest scoring projects, usually 5- 7, are 4) distributed to all Center investigators for evaluation, and are discussed and rank-ordered by voting at one of the monthly Center meetings. This process provides the opportunity for open critique of Pilot Projects by all members of the Center, and often develops productive collaborative projects between WF-TARC and Pilot Project PI's. Rankings of pilot applications will be made according to the innovation and excellence of the research proposed, as well as its likely impact in the area of alcohol use disorder research. Priority will be given to studies that could have high impact, those most closely related to the theme of the Center, and those that may offer new technologies and research for future incorporation into WF-TARC.

概括 维克森林转化酒精研究中心 (WF-TARC) 试点核心将提供一种机制 通过纳入新的创新研究领域和技术专长来发展该中心，以及 为初级研究人员提供种子资金，帮助他们获得自己的独立资金。我们是 提出每年提供 100,000 美元的计划来资助四个试点项目。选择过程 涉及 1) 征集提案，2) 两名非中心评审员对提案进行分析，无论是来自 外部顾问委员会或具有与该领域相关的特定技术或主题专业知识的特设科学家 项目，3) 评审者为项目分配优先级分数，得分最高的项目通常为 5- 7、 4) 分发给所有中心调查员进行评估，并通过投票进行讨论和排序 每月一次的中心会议。这一过程提供了对试点项目进行公开批评的机会 中心的所有成员，并经常在 WF-TARC 和 Pilot 之间开发富有成效的合作项目 项目 PI。根据试点项目的创新程度和优秀程度进行排名 提出的研究及其对酒精使用障碍研究领域可能的影响。优先级将是 给予可能产生重大影响、与中心主题最密切相关的研究以及 这可能会为未来纳入 WF-TARC 提供新技术和研究。
