## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract: Pilot Projects Program Core
The primary goal of the Pilot Projects Program Core (PPPC) of the American Indian-Alaska
Native Clinical Translational Research Center (AI-AN CTRC) is to provide funding to support the
overall objective of developing of research programs relevant to AI-AN health disparities in
Montana and Alaska, with the ultimate goal of improving the health in these communities. This
funding will include direct funding for research projects, as well as funding to stimulate
collaboration, provide research training through mini-sabbatical support, and diversity
supplements to enhance the involvement of AI-AN students and investigators in research.
There are 3 specific aims of the PPPC. The first aim is to establish the pilot projects program,
which includes pilot grants, mini-sabbaticals, diversity supplements, and small grants intended
for both tribal colleges/branch campuses as well as AI-AN communities. The second aim is to
assist potential and successful pilot awardees in coordinating with the other Cores of the
Center, with the goal of ensuring that the Center resources (such as biostatistical support,
mentorship programs, etc.) are fully utilized and engaged early in the preproposal stage. The
third aim is to work with the Evaluation Core to continuously assess the progress of the PPPC in
achieving its stated goals, and to refine or redirect the activities of the PPPC in response to the
ongoing assessment.
