Administration Core

摘要(核心A) 核心A的职能是在不同项目之间提供领导、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B提供强有力和及时的统计支助，(2)项目小组的资源 在项目中公平分配，(3)遵守国家癌症研究所(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 支持和行政支持。 对生物统计学和生物信息学的支持对研究设计和数据解释至关重要；因此，它是一种 核心A的重要科学职能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 Lu，Ph.D.，Rie VonEyeen，M.S.，Andre Shultz，Ph.D.，Subarna Sinha，Ph.D.)将提供所需的 向所有PPG成员提供统计支持。此外，斯坦福癌症研究所的联席主任卢博士 生物统计核心，能够从这个更大的核心动员额外的统计支持，以协助PPG作为 需要的。科学支助的其他重要职能是：(1)组织和召开定期会议 项目/核心领导和关键人员，(2)召开执行委员会会议，审查 基金的进展和科学方向；以及(3)与基金成员一起组织年度务虚会 外部咨询委员会(EAB)负责审查PPG的整体进展情况。弗兰克·查韦斯先生将担任 这个PPG的行政协调员。他目前是研究项目经理，在 放射肿瘤学，一直与主要调查人员、项目和核心领导密切合作 在准备拨款申请的过程中。他还一直在协调他们每两周一次的会议/电话 去年。Eric Alemany先生将为所有软件和硬件问题提供技术支持，并 问题。他在该部门的前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 分配。由所有四位项目负责人组成的PPG执行委员会将每年举行两次会议，以 审查项目和核心的支出和资源分配。赵小兰女士，她一直是一个 金融分析师在放射肿瘤科工作了6年，将担任金融 此建议的PPG的管理员。 行政核心的另一项职能是传播有关斯坦福大学研讨会的信息，这些研讨会是 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 所有研究人员都在使用通用试剂，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.
