Minnesota Population Center Administrative Core

管理核心：摘要 MPC的行政核心最大限度地提高了人口动态研究资金的效率， 研究人员花在处理财务、人力资源和其他行政事务上的时间和精力， 要求.行政核心通过协调各部门的活动和资源提供领导。 丹它通过保持优良的设施和提供具有成本效益的服务， 减少研究的行政负担，特别是与赠款有关的负担 行政、财政管理和人力资源。行政核心领导和工作人员是 负责中心的日常运作和MPC的持续发展规划。 服务分为五类：（1）会计和财务;（2）赠款管理;（3）人力资源;（4） 设施;（5）通信。 会计和财务：行政核心的最关键职能是协调和监督所有 MPC的财务状况。赠款管理：行政核心为提案提供预算支持 开发，维护当前和待定支持的记录，管理IRB和人类受试者培训， 管理分包合同和咨询协议，协调年度报告，并处理公众访问 要求（例如，PubMed Central）。人力资源：除了有效处理日常人力资源外， 为MPC的大量工作人员的资源任务，行政核心在招聘方面付出了相当大的努力， 留住员工。设施：行政核心确保所有研究项目都有出色的 设施在其中工作。交流：行政核心交流成员的研究新闻 通过传统和社交媒体。它还使成员和工作人员了解最新的政策和程序， 他们的新举措和机会，并回应成员的服务要求。 行政核心领导是MPC主任约翰·罗伯特·沃伦。行政核心每月安排 咨询委员会会议和执行委员会两周一次的会议。所有MPC成员都是 有资格使用MPC行政核心服务，但优先考虑新的和早期阶段的调查人员。 该中心还为非P2C资助机构的人口动态研究人员提供服务。未经 行政核心，最有成效的MPC研究人员将被迫投入他们的大部分时间， 完成人力资源和赠款管理等任务的时间。这将是一种低效率的投资， 从科学和经济的角度来看。

ADMINISTRATIVE CORE: SUMMARY MPC’s Administrative Core maximizes the efficiency of funding for population dynamics research by minimizing the time and energy researchers spend dealing with financial, human resource, and other administrative requirements. The Administrative Core provides leadership by coordinating activities and resources across cores. It increases the productivity of MPC members by maintaining excellent facilities and offering cost-effective services and by reducing the administrative burdens of research, particularly those related to grants administration, fiscal management, and human resources. Administrative Core leadership and staff are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Center and for planning for the continued development of MPC. Services fall into five categories: (1) accounting and finance; (2) grants management; (3) human resources; (4) facilities; and (5) communications. Accounting and finance: The most critical function of the Administrative Core is coordinating and monitoring all aspects of MPC finances. Grants management: The Administrative Core provides budget support for proposal development, maintains records of current and pending support, manages IRB and human subjects training, manages subcontracts and consulting agreements, coordinates annual reports, and handles public access requirements (e.g., PubMed Central). Human resources: In addition to efficiently handling routine human resources tasks for MPC’s large staff, the Administrative Core exerts considerable effort on recruitment and retention of employees. Facilities: The Administrative Core ensures that all research projects have outstanding facilities in which to work. Communications: The Administrative Core communicates members’ research news via traditional and social media. It also keeps members and staff up to date on policies and procedures, informs them of new initiatives and opportunities, and responds to member requests for services. The Administrative Core Lead is MPC Director John Robert Warren. The Administrative Core arranges monthly meetings of the Advisory Board and fortnightly meetings of the Executive Committee. All MPC members are eligible to use MPC Administrative Core services, although priority is given to new and early stage investigators. The Core also provides services to population dynamics researchers at non-P2C funded institutions. Without the Administrative Core, the most productive MPC researchers would be forced to devote a large percentage of their time to tasks such as human resources and grant administration. This would be an inefficient investment of resources, from both a scientific and an economic perspective.
