Administration Core

摘要（核心A） 核心A的职能是提供不同项目之间的领导、互动和协调， 计划项目补助金（PPG），以帮助他们实现他们的科学目标。核心A将努力确保：（1） 向所有项目和核心项目B提供有力和及时的统计支持，（2）项目编制补助金的资源 在项目之间公平分配，（3）满足国家癌症研究所（NCI）的规定， （4）提供硬件和软件的技术支持。它可以分为两个部分：科学 支助和行政支助。 对生物统计学和生物信息学的支持对于研究设计和数据解释至关重要;因此， 核心A的重要科学功能。一支由经验丰富的生物统计学家和生物信息学家组成的庞大团队 (Ying卢博士，Rie vonEyben，理学硕士，安德烈·舒尔茨博士，和Subarna Sinha博士）将提供所需的 为所有PPG成员提供统计支持。此外，作为斯坦福大学癌症研究所联合主任的卢博士 生物统计核心，能够从这个更大的核心调动额外的统计支持，以协助PPG， needed.科学支助的其他重要职能是：（1）组织和举行 项目/核心领导人和关键人员，（2）召开执行委员会会议， （3）与基金会成员一起组织年度务虚会， 外部咨询委员会（EAB）审查PPG的整体进展情况。弗兰克·查韦斯先生将担任 该PPG的行政协调员。他目前是研究项目经理在系 放射肿瘤学，并一直与主要研究者（PI）、项目和核心领导人密切合作 在准备补助金申请时。他还一直在协调他们每两周在 去年Eric Alemany先生将为所有软件和硬件问题提供技术支持， 问题.他在该部门以前的PPG中担任这一职务已有10年，因此， 熟悉所需的IT支持和基础设施。行政核心还将负责 向NCI提交年度PPG进度报告，包括EAB的书面报告。 行政支助的一个重要方面将是监测财政资源和研究的分散情况 拨款。PPG执行委员会由所有四个项目负责人组成，每年召开两次会议， 审查项目和核心的支出和资源分配。赵女士是一位 财务分析师在放射肿瘤科在过去的6年，将担任财务 这是一个关于PPG的建议。 行政核心的另一项职能是传播关于斯坦福大学研讨会的信息， 与PPG的科学方向广泛相关。科学支持的最后一个方面是确保 所有研究人员都使用通用试剂，以保持动物和实验方案的一致性。

Abstract (Core A) Core A functions to provide the leadership, interaction and coordination between the different projects of the Program Project Grant (PPG) in order to help them meet their scientific goals. Core A will work to ensure: (1) that robust and timely statistical support is provided to all projects and Core B, (2) that the resources of the PPG are distributed fairly among the projects, (3) that the regulations of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are fulfilled, and (4) that technical support for hardware and software is supplied. It can be divided into two sections: scientific support and administrative support. Support for biostatistics and bioinformatics is crucial for study design and data interpretation; thus it is an important scientific function of Core A. A large team of highly experienced biostatisticians and bioinformaticians (Ying Lu, Ph.D., Rie vonEyben, M.S., Andre Shultz, Ph.D., and Subarna Sinha, Ph.D.) will provide the needed statistical support to all PPG members. In addition, Dr. Lu, who is the co-director of the Stanford Cancer Institute Biostatistics Core, is able to mobilize additional statistical support from this larger core to assist the PPG as needed. Other important functions of the scientific support will be: (1) to organize and hold regular meetings of the project/ core leaders and key personnel, (2) to convene Executive Committee meetings to review the progress and scientific direction of the grant, and (3) to organize an annual retreat with the members of the External Advisory Board (EAB) to review the progress of the PPG as a whole. Mr. Frank Chavez will act as the Administrative Coordinator of this PPG. He is currently the research program manager in the Department of Radiation Oncology and has been working closely with the principal investigators (PIs), project and core leaders in the preparation of the grant application. He has also been coordinating their bi-weekly meetings/ calls in the last year. Mr. Eric Alemany will provide the technical support for all software and hardware problems and questions. He has served in this role for 10 years in a previous PPG within the department and therefore is familiar with the needed IT support and infrastructure. The administrative core will also be responsible for submitting the yearly PPG progress report to the NCI, including the written report of the EAB. An important aspect of administrative support will be to monitor the dispersion of financial resources and research allocations. The PPG Executive Committee, which is composed of all four project leaders will meet twice a year to review expenditures and resource allocations for the projects and cores. Ms. Joyce Chao, who has been a finance analyst in the Department of Radiation Oncology for the past 6 years, will serve as the financial administrator for this proposed PPG. An additional function of the administrative core will be to disseminate information on Stanford seminars that are broadly related to the scientific directions of the PPG. A final aspect of the scientific support will be to ensure that all investigators are using common reagents to maintain uniformity in animal and experimental protocols.
