Core 1: Administrative Core

项目摘要 – 行政核心 弗吉尼亚联邦大学酒精研究中心 (VCU-ARC) 的行政核心将 提供 VCU-ARC 的集中管理功能。这需要监督和协调 五个研究项目（项目 1-5），以及三个额外的核心项目，重点关注我们的试点项目计划、我们的 啮齿动物行为核心和我们的生物信息学和分析核心。额外的责任将包括 弗吉尼亚联邦大学内部的外展和教学以及大学外部酒精成就的传播 VCU-ARC 的研究计划。总体科学和行政监督将由 中心和科学主任（迈尔斯博士和肯德勒博士）在指导委员会的协助下，他们将 负责监督中心以及一般科学界的科学生产力和完整性 中心的研究方向。项目咨询委员会将协助董事和指导 委员会负责该中心的行政监督和第三年至第五年试点项目的选择。 管理核心将通过以下方式协助中心所有组成部分之间的积极协作和沟通： 一系列双周会议，包括研究报告、文献综述或受邀研讨会 酒精研究领域的杰出科学家。这些会议和特邀研讨会将向 弗吉尼亚联邦大学研究社区鼓励扩大弗吉尼亚联邦大学的酒精研究。行政核心将 还监督两个研究核心的运作，以促进中心研究人员的积极使用。最终， 行政核心的目标是监督该中心作为国家资源的发展，并 继续扩大弗吉尼亚联邦大学酒精研究的范围和质量。

Project Summary – Administrative Core The Administrative Core of the Virginia Commonwealth University Alcohol Research Center (VCU-ARC) will provide the centralized administrative functions of the VCU-ARC. This entails supervision and coordination of five research projects (Projects 1-5), and three additional cores focusing on our pilot project program, our Rodent Behavioral Core and our Bioinformatics and Analysis Core. Additional responsibilities will include outreach and teaching within VCU and dissemination outside the University of accomplishments of the alcohol research program of the VCU-ARC. Overall scientific and administrative oversight will be conducted by the Center and Scientific Directors (Drs. Miles and Kendler), with assistance from the Steering Committee, who will be responsible for monitoring scientific productivity and integrity of the Center as well as the general scientific research direction of the Center. A Program Advisory Committee will assist the Directors and Steering Committee in administrative oversight of the Center and selection of pilot projects for years 3 through 5. The Administrative Core will assist active collaboration and communication between all Center components through a series of biweekly meetings consisting of research presentations, literature reviews or seminars by invited distinguished scientists in the alcohol research field. These meetings and invited seminars will be open to the VCU research community to encourage expansion of alcohol research at VCU. The Administrative Core will also oversee functioning of the two research cores to foster their active use by Center investigators. Ultimately, it will be the goal of the Administrative Core to oversee development of the Center as a national resource and to continue expanding the scope and quality of alcohol research at VCU.
