摘要 内布拉斯加州纳米医学中心(NCN)，生物医学研究卓越中心 (COBRE)，整合和支持跨学科、多项目、多部门的 纳米医学领域。管理核心作为集中的管理资源 Cobre NCN，并提供了支持NCN的独特功能的框架：协作 研究环境，指导初级调查人员，使用最先进的核心设施和 中心活动的组织。行政核心由中心主任领导， 包括一个执行委员会，一个中心管理员，一个科学和专业发展 理事会和一个生物统计/生物信息学支持小组。执行委员会由以下成员组成 科学与专业发展理事会中心主任、核心主任、协调员， 将监测研究进展和核心绩效，审查研究倡议并协调 中心内的活动。内部咨询委员会(IAC)和外部咨询委员会 (EAC)将继续审查中心的活动并指导中心。行政核心意志 在第三阶段实现以下具体目标：1)提供科学的领导和 促进NCN成员之间的沟通、协作和协同作用的行政结构； 2)维持核心资源；3)确保网络中心的业务管理。要实现这些目标 为实现目标，行政核心将支持每月进行中工作会议、研讨会和年度会议 中心审查会议，促进核心设施的运作，并通过 代金券计划；通过监督试点促进研究合作和中心的发展 项目计划和指导计划。此外，行政核心将协调 科学和专业发展理事会的活动，该理事会将参加审查 和试点项目的选择，促进初级调查人员的成功，引导调查人员继续前进 制定精心构建的协作赠款提案的途径。 相关性 我们中心内发生的互动和讨论促进了新想法的产生和 新方法。由创新者推动的跨学科研究，如材料科学， 工程、生物和医学将影响几乎所有的医学专业，并揭开新的面纱 提高质量和延长寿命的方法。

ABSTRACT The Nebraska Center for Nanomedicine (NCN), a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE), integrates and supports interdisciplinary, multi-project, multi-departmental research in the field of nanomedicine. The Administrative Core serves as a centralized governing source for the COBRE NCN and provides a framework for supporting the unique features of the NCN: collaborative research environment, mentoring junior investigators, access to state-of-the-art core facilities and organization of the Center activities. The Administrative Core is led by the Center Director and includes an Executive Committee, a Center Administrator, a Scientific and Professional Development Council, and a Biostatistics/Bioinformatics support group. The Executive Committee consisting of the Center Director, Core Directors, and Coordinator of Scientific and Professional Development Council, will monitor research progress and core performance, review research initiatives and coordinate activities within the Center. The Internal Advisory Committee (IAC) and External Advisory Committees (EAC) will continue to review Center activities and guide the Center. The Administrative Core will accomplish the following specific aims in Phase III: 1) Provide scientific leadership and an administrative structure that fosters communication, collaboration and synergy among NCN members; 2) Sustain core resources; and 3) Ensure operational management of the NCN. To achieve these goals, the Administrative Core will support monthly work-in-progress meetings, seminars, and annual Center review meetings, facilitate the operations of the core facilities and promote their use through a voucher program; foster research collaborations and growth of the Center by overseeing the Pilot Projects Program and mentoring programs. In addition, the Administrative Core will coordinate the activities of the Scientific and Professional Development Council, which will participate in the review and selection of pilot projects, promote success of junior investigators and guide investigators along the path to develop well-constructed collaborative grant proposals. RELEVANCE The interactions and discussions that occur within our Center facilitate generation of new ideas and new approaches. The research driven by innovators across disciplines such as material science, engineering, biology and medicine stand to impact nearly every medical specialty and unveil novel ways to improve the quality and extend the duration of life.
