Core A - Administrative Program Enrichment Core

项目摘要-行政计划强化核心 UAB内森冲击中心（NSC）的研究重点是能源的综合评估 从细胞器、细胞和组织水平的摄入和使用（比较线粒体健康评估 核心）到整个有机体（比较有机体能量学核心），因为它与衰老和晚年健康有关 在物种多样性中。我们的比较数据分析和整合了这些不同层面的调查结果 分析核心。比较能量学是后来被称为“老年科学”的基石， 研究基本衰老过程和晚年疾病之间的相互作用。行政 Program Enrichment Core（Admin Core）是UAB NSC的监督，行政和推广部门， 整体在Steven Austad博士和托马斯布福德博士的领导下，管理核心将继续 管理、协调、宣传和整合中心的各种活动。它还将负责 促进与其他休克中心、内森休克中心协调中心的互动， 国家老龄化研究所（NIA）的相关工作人员。与内部和外部咨询委员会协商 委员会，行政核心将发布年度评估和报告，对每个核心的业绩和 国家安全委员会的总体业绩，并将作出必要的方案修改。这个核心也将是 负责促进UAB地区和国家基础老龄化研究的组织单位，寻求 特别是吸引相关学科的受训人员和早期职业研究人员从事老年科学研究。

Project Summary – Administrative Program Enrichment Core The UAB Nathan Shock Center (NSC) has as its research focus the comprehensive assessment of energy intake and use from the level of organelles, cells, and tissues (Comparative Mitochondrial Health Assessment Core) to whole organisms (Comparative Organismal Energetics Core) as it relates to aging and later-life health in a diversity of species. Findings at these various levels are analyzed and integrated by our Comparative Data Analytics Core. Comparative energetics is a cornerstone of what has come to be called “geroscience,” the study of interactions between fundamental aging processes and maladies of later life. The Administrative Program Enrichment Core (Admin Core) is the oversight, administrative, and outreach arm of the UAB NSC as a whole. Under the leadership of Drs. Steven Austad and Thomas Buford, the Admin Core will continue to manage, coordinate, publicize, and integrate the diverse activities of the Center. It also will be responsible for facilitating interactions with the other Shock Centers, the Nathan Shock Centers Coordinating Center, and relevant National Institute on Aging (NIA) staff. In consultation with the Internal and External Advisory Committees, the Admin Core will issue annual evaluations and reports on each Core's performance and on the performance of the NSC overall and will make programmatic changes as warranted. This Core also will be the organizational unit responsible for promoting basic aging research at UAB, regionally, and nationally, seeking particularly to attract trainees and early career researchers from allied disciplines into geroscience research.
