Administrative Core

项目概要：行政核心 NIDDK资助的培训计划对于促进科学家的职业发展至关重要， 医学科学家解决肾脏，泌尿学和血液学（KUH）研究领域的问题，但这些 方案取得了不同程度的成功。为了更好地应对未来的挑战，NIDDK了解 需要培养跨学科团队科学的有前途的个人，并利用广泛的，合作的 建立受训者社区的资源。芝加哥是一个拥有世界级医疗中心的都会区 以及其他必要的资源，以建立这样一个跨学科的培训计划，并取得持续的影响 KUH研究培训。跨学科的芝加哥肾脏泌尿血液学网络为全市 Arch resetRaining和职业发展（芝加哥KUH前进）汇集了6个公共和私人 在芝加哥提供独特和互补的培训机会的学术机构。这些 必须协调关键资产，为研究员提供最佳培训机会， 专业发展、网络和培训核心的有效性。行政核心将 通过建立共享治理、协作和管理，确保芝加哥KUH FORWARD的有效运作 工作流程、持续评估和改进，以及宣传受训人员的工作和成功经验 通过每年的NIDDK U2 C/TL 1 KUH机构网络会议。行政的具体目标 核心是：1）建立一个组织和治理结构，促进沟通，协作， 整合; 2）制定全面的计划评估，数据审查和改进周期; 3）建立 外部评估委员会（EEB），负责绩效和多样性监督;以及4）组织一次 NIDDK U2 C/TL 1 KUH机构网络。行政核心将由阿尔弗雷德乔治博士指导，他 在监督培训项目方面拥有丰富的经验，与乔治M.奥布莱恩 西北大学肾脏研究核心中心（NU-GoKIDNEY）和大型合作组织的领导 研究项目，需要监督和管理多个分包合同。Pinelopi博士 Kapitsinou将担任联合主任，她有共同领导NU-GoKIDNEY研究核心的经验。 他们将得到专门的项目协调员和经理的协助，他们将为项目的各个方面提供服务 并将促进核心和委员会之间的有效沟通和整合。教育专家和 评价工作将提供其专门知识，以确保评价和改进的持续循环。一个间- 由所有利益攸关方共同领导和代表的机构指导委员会将促进公平 学科和机构之间的治理。共同努力，成功实现这些目标， 行政核心的功能将产生一个跨学科和协作的环境， 利用我们世界一流的研究机构的独特和互补优势，培养下一代 KUH研究人员。这种培训环境将有助于建立一个重要的全国性机构网络。

PROJECT SUMMARY: ADMINISTRATIVE CORE NIDDK-funded training programs have been essential for fostering the career development of scientists and physician-scientists tackling questions in the kidney, urology and hematology (KUH) research areas, but these programs have yielded varying degrees of success. To best meet future challenges, NIDDK understands the need to train promising individuals for interdisciplinary team science and draw upon extensive, collaborative resources to establish communities of trainees. Chicagoland is a metro area rich in world-class medical centers and other resources essential to establish such an interdisciplinary training program and make sustained impacts on KUH research training. The interdisciplinary Chicago Kidney Urology Hematology network FOR city-Wide reseArch tRaining and career Development (Chicago KUH FORWARD) brings together 6 public and private academic institutions that provide unique and complementary training opportunities across Chicagoland. These critical assets must be coordinated to yield the best training opportunities for fellows and to maximize effectiveness of the Professional Development, Network and Training Cores. The Administrative Core will ensure effective function of Chicago KUH FORWARD through establishing shared governance, collaborative workflow, continual assessment and improvement, and disseminating the work and successes of trainees through yearly NIDDK U2C/TL1 KUH Institutional Network meetings. The Specific Aims of the Administrative Core are: 1) Establish an organizational and governance structure fostering communication, collaboration and integration; 2) Develop comprehensive program evaluation, data review and cycles of improvement; 3) Establish an External Evaluation Board (EEB) for performance and diversity oversight; and 4) Organize a meeting of the NIDDK U2C/TL1 KUH Institutional Network. The Administrative Core will be directed by Dr. Alfred George, who has extensive experience in the oversight of training programs, shared leadership of the George M. O'Brien Kidney Research Core Center at Northwestern University (NU-GoKIDNEY) and leadership of large collaborative research projects, which have necessitated oversight and management of multiple subcontracts. Dr. Pinelopi Kapitsinou will serve as the Co-Director and she has experience in co-leading a NU-GoKIDNEY Research Core. They will be assisted by dedicated Program Coordinator and Manager, who will serve all aspects of the program and will facilitate effective communication and integration of Cores and Committees. Experts in education and evaluation will lend their expertise to ensure continual cycles of evaluation and improvement. An inter- institutional Steering Committee with shared leadership and representation of all stakeholders will foster equitable governance among disciplines and institutions. Together, successful completion of these Aims and effective function of the Administrative Core will result in an interdisciplinary and collaborative environment that draws upon the unique and complementary strengths of our world-class research institutions to train the next generation of KUH researchers. This training environment will contribute to an important nationwide Institutional Network.
