The Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Program of the Diabetes Research Center at the University of Washington promotes the development of new and innovative research directed at basic biomedical, clinical, behavioral and translational aspects of diabetes and its complications. The specific objectives of the Program are to: (1) Provide initial research support for promising junior faculty who have not yet had independent peer-reviewed NIH funding; (2) Provide pilot funding for established faculty entering the field of diabetes research for the first time; (3) Support pilot projects by established diabetes investigators proposing to pursue high impact/high risk projects or a novel direction in their diabetes related research; and (4) Foster mentored training in research related to diabetes by offering postdoctoral and graduate fellowships. The P&F Program annually awards $200,000 of the Center's NIDDK direct funds (a minimum of 20%) for P&F research projects. In addition, funds provided by the University are used to support new investigator research, translational research, training of postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, and service grants for junior investigators to use the Center's resources. Applications are peer-reviewed by external and internal reviewers and the Center's Executive Committee, with awards being made based on scientific merit and qualifications of the applicant, including the potential for subsequent external peer-reviewed funding. During the last decade (two funding cycles), NIDDK funds to the Diabetes Research Center at the University of Washington supported 26 P&F awards, the majority of which were awarded to junior faculty. Of these P&F-funded investigators, 25 remain active in research related to diabetes, obesity and related disorders (96% success). Thus, the P&F Program continues to be a highly successful component of the Diabetes Research Center that utilizes funds provided by NIDDK and the University of Washington to support new and innovative research in the area of diabetes, obesity and related disorders, and in this manner also fosters the career development of junior investigators.

华盛顿大学糖尿病研究中心的试点和可行性 (P&F) 计划 促进针对基础生物医学、临床、行为的新的和创新性研究的发展 以及糖尿病及其并发症的转化方面。该计划的具体目标是：(1) 为尚未经过独立同行评审的有前途的初级教师提供初步研究支持 美国国立卫生研究院资助； （2）为首批进入糖尿病研究领域的老教师提供试点资助 时间; (3) 支持已建立的糖尿病研究人员提出的试点项目，旨在追求高影响/高风险 糖尿病相关研究的项目或新方向； (4) 促进研究方面的指导培训 通过提供博士后和研究生奖学金与糖尿病相关。 P&F 计划每年颁发奖项 该中心 NIDDK 直接资金中的 200,000 美元（至少 20%）用于 P&F 研究项目。此外，资金 大学提供的资金用于支持新研究者研究、转化研究、培训 博士后研究员和研究生，以及为初级研究人员使用该中心的服务补助金 资源。申请由外部和内部评审员以及中心执行人员进行同行评审 委员会根据申请人的科学价值和资格颁发奖项，包括 后续外部同行评审资金的潜力。在过去十年（两个资助周期）中，NIDDK 华盛顿大学糖尿病研究中心的资金支持了 26 个 P&F 奖项，其中大多数 其中授予初级教师。在这些 P&F 资助的研究人员中，有 25 人仍然活跃在研究中 与糖尿病、肥胖症和相关疾病有关（96% 成功）。因此，P&F 计划仍然是一个 糖尿病研究中心的一个非常成功的组成部分，利用 NIDDK 和 NIDDK 提供的资金 华盛顿大学支持糖尿病、肥胖及相关领域的创新研究 障碍，并以这种方式也促进初级研究者的职业发展。
