This COBRE has successfully funded Pilot Projects for nearly 10 years. Historically, support of these Pilot Projects have “jump-started” the careers of junior investigators by providing the ground work necessary for acquisition of additional funding and scientific success. In order to continue this success, the Pilot Core seeks to:
- Identify and fund highly innovative COBRE Pilot Projects from junior COBRE investigators or established investigators with novel ideas in a new field of investigation
- Evaluate progress of projects and effectiveness of mentors and ensure that this Pilot Project program continues to provide key resources for outstanding scientific opportunities
