Pilot
Project Program Goals and Background
The Pilot Project Program provides initial support for investigators
to establish novel lines of research. The program promotes exploration
of possible innovative directions representing a significant departure
from ongoing funded research for established investigators in
environmental health sciences. Investigators from other areas
of endeavor are encouraged to apply their expertise to environmental
health research.
CEEH
pilot projects have provided data for numerous successful grant
applications. For example, in 2005 two recipients of 2004-2005
pilot project grants were awarded multi-year R01 grants totalling
$3,340,000.
Each
year in November, a call for CEEH pilot projects proposals is
sent out to all CEEH members and to selected departments at the
University of Washington, Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center,
and the Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center. The call
for proposals is also listed in University Week and the
Funding Bulletin. Proposals are due the first week of February.
Funding for the selected projects begins on April 1 and ends on
March 31 of the following year.
