Leadership and Administrative Core

项目摘要 领导和行政核心的目的是提供行政基础设施 和必要的科学领导，以实现UConn OAIC的总体目标。的长远目标 LAC是在建立一个高生产力的研究和教育计划，在大学的方式领先。 康涅狄格州（UConn），跨越实验室，临床和社区，以及以人口为基础的科学， 精准老年学的主题这一目标将通过4个具体目标实现：（1）提供OAIC 发挥领导作用，确保成功管理和整合内审办的所有活动。LAC将协调 在UConn OAIC内的所有行政实体的活动，包括指导委员会，外部 咨询委员会、独立审查小组和社区咨询委员会。每月督导期间 在委员会会议上，LAC将监测所有核心和组件的进展，并领导关于以下问题的讨论： 如何在核心和组件之间持续开展协作研究和教育活动。 拉加经委会还将确保及时向外部咨询委员会和国家执行机构提交进度报告;（2） 探索和评估科学进步的机会，强调多学科团队 与精确老年学和OAIC使命的康州大学OAIC主题相一致的举措。期间 每月举行一次指导委员会会议，拉加经委会将促进正在进行的关于如何促进 康州大学的研究组合的发展与精密老年学的主题一致。转向 委员会是一个高度多学科的小组，代表了从实验室到床边的连续研究 在人口方面，确保为探索和评估科学进步的机会提供肥沃的环境; (3)确保完全符合所有法规要求。法援会将确保所有获资助的研究 UConn OAIC基金符合所有UConn和联邦人类受试者和动物保护合规法规 在他们被允许开始之前，并将监测OAIC支持的研究的持续合规性， （4）评估OAIC核心和组件的进度， 实现UConn OAIC研究和教育目标。LAC将帮助为所有核心设计评估工具 和组件，汇编评估结果，并使用评估结果，以不断改善康州大学 OAIC实现其研究和教育目标的能力。为达致这些目标，法援会将 提供必要的科学领导和行政监督，以促进和发展多学科 老年医学和老年学研究在康州大学有关的精确老年学康州大学OAIC主题。 通过与精确老年学相关的研究积累知识将有助于 改善和恢复老年人的独立性。

PROJECT SUMMARY LAC The purpose of the Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) is to provide the administrative infrastructure and scientific leadership necessary to achieve the overall aims of the UConn OAIC. The long-range goal of the LAC is to lead the way in establishing a highly productive research and education program at the University of Connecticut (UConn), spanning laboratory, clinical and community, and population-based science guided by the theme of Precision Gerontology. This goal will be addressed through 4 specific aims: (1) Provide OAIC leadership to ensure successful administration and integration of all OAIC activities. The LAC will coordinate activities of all administrative entities within the UConn OAIC, including the Steering Committee, the External Advisory Board, the Independent Review Panel and the Community Advisory Board. During monthly Steering Committee meetings, the LAC will monitor progress of all Cores and Components, and lead discussions about how to continuously develop collaborative research and education activities across Cores and Components. The LAC also will ensure timely submission of progress reports to the External Advisory Board and NIA; (2) Explore and assess opportunities for scientific progress aligned with emphasis on multidisciplinary team initiatives consistent with the UConn OAIC theme of Precision Gerontology and the OAIC mission. During monthly Steering Committee meetings, the LAC will facilitate ongoing discussion about how to promote development of UConn’s research portfolio consistent with the Precision Gerontology theme. The Steering Committee is a highly multidisciplinary group and represents the continuum of research from bench to bedside to population, ensuring a fertile environment for exploring and assessing opportunities for scientific progress; (3) Ensure full compliance with all regulatory requirements. The LAC will ensure that all studies supported by UConn OAIC funds meet all UConn and federal human subjects and animal protection compliance regulations before they are permitted to commence, and will monitor ongoing compliance of OAIC-supported studies with relevant regulations until they are completed; (4) Evaluate progress of OAIC Cores and Components to achieve UConn OAIC research and educational goals. The LAC will help design evaluation tools for all Cores and Components, compile evaluation results, and use evaluation results to continuously improve the UConn OAIC’s capacity to achieve its research and educational goals. By accomplishing these Aims, the LAC will provide the scientific leadership and administrative oversight necessary to promote and grow multidisciplinary geriatric and gerontological research at UConn related to the UConn OAIC theme of Precision Gerontology. The accumulation of knowledge through research related to Precision Gerontology will help contribute to improvement and restoration of independence of older adults.
