Administrative Core

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Project Summary The Administrative Core will assist in all the aspects of administration, communication, and overall conduct of the partnership between the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (MSSM) and Hampton University (HU). It will act to promote the integration between the two Institutions, organize meetings of the faculty and Advisory Committees, and facilitate participation in the cancer education training program. The Administrative Core will provide support for personnel involved in the administration, scientific oversight and coordination, communication, budgetary oversight, and clerical functions associated with the overall research program proposed in this partnership grant application. The Core will facilitate and foster communication, coordination, and collaboration between HU and MSSM in genetics and genomics training and education, both at the site and long distance. It will also contribute to engage faculty members in cutting edge genetics and genomics translational cancer research, with the overarching goal to build the bases for a sustainable Center for Genetics and Genomics Cancer Research at HU. The Core will be responsible for the coordination of the Program. Although the investigators have previously developed long-lasting established collaborative interactions, achieving the integration needed for a successful and sustained collaboration in genetics and genomics research, with federally funded grant support will require a higher level of communication and interaction among the PIs, trainees and staff, as well as the two partners Institutions as a whole. The approach to coordination will include electronic communication (video conferencing and a web-based content management system for document sharing, messaging, and calendaring) as well as in person meetings. These will include meetings of the project investigators and their team, meetings of the Leadership and Internal Advisory Committees, as well as distance learning for the education segment of the program.
