While available, this infrastructure component offered consultation and pilot monies to address
research questions relevant to the overall PMBC model that were novel, but sufficiently preliminary
that they were not yet ready for NIH support. The purpose of the innovative pilot research component
was to encourage new research that allowed the Center to achieve its overall aims:

a)  the identification of the most important common pathways across diverse diseases;
b)  understanding key components of the pathways in light of the life course of the
individual and disease pathophysiology;
c)  developing a range of recommended, sometimes new assessment tools for measuring
the common pathways;
d)  providing a theoretical and empirical foundation for efficacious interventions on
pathways; and -
e)  training the next generation of leaders in mind-body science through provision
of “start-up” funds.
