Center for Childhood Obesity Prevention - Administrative Core

项目摘要 行政核心A旨在提供基本的操作基础，以支持研究 中心的努力。在第一阶段，儿童肥胖预防中心（CCOP）成功地 建立两个研究核心，生物统计学核心B和代谢和生物能量学核心C。 在这项工作的基础上，将在第二阶段建立一个额外的研究核心，即社区参与 核心D，进一步加强和提高机构研究基础设施， 儿童肥胖症和相关的合并症。行政核心A将支持增长， 通过指导现有和新招募的初级研究人员发展独立的， 利用一个小组，在儿童肥胖预防的主题重点方面， 科学方法。将继续通过投资于 研究核心的可持续性，并建立必要的额外战略机构伙伴关系， 支持初级教师的职业发展，并创造协同作用，最大限度地在该领域的集体影响。 具体目标1：提供行政、科学和财政支持，以加强和运作 中心这包括协调所有行政和研究核心职能，评估初级 调查员项目、正在进行的征聘和编审中的调查员项目的发展、辅导和 职业发展活动，以及跟踪科学产品和影响。有效性和进展 将通过全面的评估战略定期评估中心的方案。阶段的重点 2将建立旨在支持中心长期可持续性的流程和产品。 具体目标2：实施中心运营计划。提供日常中心的协调 包括预算管理、进度报告、遵守联邦法规、研究 协调和访问支持，管理试点研究RFA过程，协调咨询委员会 和业务会议，以及全面的数据跟踪。 具体目标3：促进青年的职业发展和科学进步 investigators.提供一个强大的高级指导计划，伴随着全面的培训， 教育，以支持新兴科学家的发展，作为独立资助的研究人员，使用 团队科学使命和方法。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Administrative Core A is designed to provide the basic operational underpinning to support the research efforts of the Center. During Phase 1, the Center for Childhood Obesity Prevention (CCOP) was successful in establishing two research cores, the Biostatistics Core B and the Metabolism and Bioenergetics Core C. Building on this work, one additional research core will be established in Phase 2, the Community Engagement Core D, to further strengthen and enhance the institutional research infrastructure for scientific inquiry into pediatric obesity and related co-morbidities. The Administrative Core A will support the growth and sustainability of the Center by guiding current and newly recruited junior investigators to develop independent, extramurally funded research programs in the thematic focus of childhood obesity prevention using a team science approach. Institutional scientific infrastructure will continue to be enhanced through investment in the sustainability of the research cores, and building additional strategic institutional partnerships necessary to support junior faculty career development, and create synergy for maximum collective impact in the field. Specific Aim 1: Provide administrative, scientific, and fiscal support to enhance and operate the Center. This includes coordination of all administrative and research core functions, evaluation of junior investigator projects, ongoing recruitment and development of pipeline investigator projects, mentoring and career development activities, and tracking of scientific products and impacts. Effectiveness and progress of Center programs will be assessed regularly through a comprehensive evaluation strategy. The focus in Phase 2 will be on establishing processes and products aimed at supporting long term sustainability of the Center. Specific Aim 2: Implement the Center operations plan. Provide the coordination of daily Center operations including budget management, progress reporting, compliance with federal regulations, study coordination and visit support, management of the pilot study RFA process, coordination of advisory committee and operational meetings, and comprehensive data tracking. Specific Aim 3: Enhance the career development and scientific progress of the junior investigators. Provide a robust Senior Mentoring program, accompanied by comprehensive training and education, to support the development of emerging scientists as independently funded investigators using a team science mission and approach.
