Pilot Studies
The center makes a university-wide announcement each year requesting proposals for pilot research projects. When evaluating the proposed projects, emphasis is placed on the overall value of the project to the center’s goals, the scientific merit of the research, the likelihood that the work will lead to scholarly publication, and the potential for substantial external funding of subsequent studies.
The center has funded the following pilot studies:
