项目摘要 CREATE涉及三个站点之间的合作：威尔康奈尔医学（WCM），佛罗里达州立大学 (FSU)和U.伊利诺伊州Urbana-Champaign（UIUC）J·沙利特医生将继续担任研究联合领导人， 执行工作组（EWG）的成员，但数据收集将不会发生在大学 迈阿密（UM）。为了提高我们的科学和技术能力，我们还邀请其他校区的教师参加 在我们的机构内（例如，康奈尔理工学院）和其他机构（例如，Carle，Northwestern）. CREATE有一个 高效率和有效的组织结构，由四个综合单位组成： 核心（AC），新改组的数据和技术发展核心（DTDC），传播核心（DC）， 和研究计划，其中包括三个专题跨站点项目和一个试点研究计划。 外部科学咨询委员会（ESAB）、中央数据安全和监测委员会（DSMB）、社区 咨询委员会（CAB）和行业咨询理事会（IAC; CREATE V的新成员）对中心进行了扩充。如果 AC将继续为中心提供领导，并对其活动进行监督和指导。 AC将承担主要责任，确保中心的科学是高质量的， 跨研究中心、社区和临床环境、行业、政府代表的协作，以及 老年人AC将致力于扩大中心的研究，发展初级研究人员，并帮助 确保中心的成果得到广泛传播。AC的目标是：1）提供领导 指导中心的活动和监督进展; 2）促进跨站点合作， 整合研究项目和DTDC&DC; 3）促进ESAB，CAB， DSMB、IAC和NIH; 4）促进与社区、政府机构和行业的联系; 5） 确保为研究和DTDC & DC提供足够的资源和技术支持; 6）协助 确定参与者招募/保留战略，并管理 措施; 7）管理试点研究计划; 8）促进和促进中心的扩展 研究和促进国际合作; 9）帮助确保中心在公共政策中的可见度 竞技场。AC将建立在我们现有的结构和协议以及长期和新成立的基础上 合作关系。中心的评价计划有内部和外部反馈回路， 包括：1）月度和年度报告机制; 2）跟踪研究和核心活动， 进展;以及3）向ESAB、CAB、DSMB、IAC和NIH报告。我们的指标将包括传统的 学术成功的标志（例如，同行评审的手稿、演示文稿）和 对学术知识库的贡献（例如，培训初级科学家，纳入各种样品; 与社区组织和工业界的关系;制定技术指导方针和工具 设计;资源共享，对技术设计和老年人的影响）。

Project Summary CREATE involves a collaboration between three sites: Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), Florida State University (FSU), and U. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Dr. J. Sharit. will remain as a research Co-leader and member of the Executive Working Group (EWG), but data collection will not take place at the University of Miami (UM). To increase our scientific and technical capacity, we also involve faculty from other campuses within our institutions (e.g., Cornell Tech) and other institutions (e.g., Carle, Northwestern). CREATE has a highly efficient and effective organizational structure, which consists of four integrated units: The Administrative Core (AC), newly restructured Data and Technical Development Core (DTDC), the Dissemination Core (DC), and the Research Program, which includes three thematic cross-site projects and a Pilot Research Program. An External Scientific Advisory Board (ESAB), central Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB), Community Advisory Boards (CABs), and Industry Advisory Council (IAC; new for CREATE V) augment the Center. If funded, the AC will continue to provide leadership for the Center and oversight and direction for its activities. The AC will assume primary responsibility for ensuring that the Center’s science is of high quality and fostering collaborations across the sites, the community and clinical settings, industry, government representatives, and older adults. The AC will work to expand the Center’s research, development of junior investigators, and help ensure that the Center’s outcomes are broadly disseminated. The aims of the AC are to: 1) provide leadership and direction for the Center’s activities and oversight of progress; 2) facilitate cross-site collaborations and integration across the research projects and the DTDC & DC; 3) facilitate linkages between the ESAB, CABs, DSMB, IAC, and the NIH; 4) facilitate linkages with the community, government agencies, and industry; 5) ensure adequate resource and technical support for the research and the DTDC & DC; 6) assist with identification of participant recruitment/retention strategies and administration of the CREATE Core Battery of Measures; 7) administer the Pilot Research Program; 8) promote and facilitate expansion of the Center’s research and foster international collaborations; and 9) help ensure the Center is visible within the public policy arena. The AC will build on our existing structures and protocols and long standing and newly formed collaborative relationships. The Center’s evaluation plan has internal and external feedback loops and includes: 1) monthly and annual reporting mechanisms; 2) tracking of research and core activities and progress; and 3) reporting to the ESAB, CABs, DSMB, IAC, and the NIH. Our metrics will include traditional markers of academic success (e.g., peer reviewed manuscripts, presentations) and metrics beyond contributions to the academic knowledge base (e.g., training of junior scientists, inclusion of diverse samples; relationships with community organizations and industry; development of guidelines and tools for technology design; resource sharing, impact on technology design and older adults).
