Optimizing Implementation in Cancer Control: OPTICC - Admin Core

行政核心（Admin）核心将构成优化实施科学在癌症控制（OPTICC）中心的基础。管理核心的总体目标是通过通知、支持和监测OPTICC研究议程的进展，最大限度地发挥OPTICC中心对实施科学（is）和癌症控制的影响。管理核心有四个具体目标。目标1是最大限度地提高OPTICC的运行效率；管理核心将为所有中心调查员、研究计划核心和实施实验室提供规划和行政支持。管理核心将促进核心之间的通信。行政核心将支持所有共同研究者和研究负责人的团队科学培训，以促进我们多学科合作者之间的整合。目标2是提高研究人员应用新的is优化方法的能力。我们将推广三种不同层次的培训和指导机会。这三个层次的培训将包括：1)对OPTICC研究领导进行一对一的同伴指导，包括在这些研究完成后对后续提案提供结构化的支持；2)在提案制定过程中对博士后研究员、新研究者和IS新手进行培训和技术援助；3)为包括研究生在内的广大受众提供IS方法的一般教学课程。我们还将与其他isccc合作，建立一个国家指导机会网络。为了增加OPTICC中心在减少健康差距方面的影响，我们将鼓励我们的学员制定信息系统建议，重点是帮助存在健康差距的人群，与为存在健康差距的人群提供服务的机构合作，或两者兼而有之。目标3是促进isccc、is研究界和主要利益相关者之间的协同作用。行政核心将领导有关向研究界传播光学中心研究成果以及参加和主持光学中心会议和讲习班的活动。管理核心还将开发一个可搜索的集中式存储库，其中包含通过OPTICC研究开发和改进的方法工具和资源，以及由OPTICC因果路径图和大规模开放在线课程组织的研究结果的简明语言摘要。目标4是评估OPTICC的影响。每个核心都有一个评估计划，其中包含特定于该核心目标的指标。此外，我们将评估参与OPTICC的中心共同研究者、学员、工作人员、实施实验室合作伙伴、科学顾问委员会和利益相关者咨询委员会成员的价值。总的来说，管理核心的预期结果是一个卓越的研究环境，支持由OPTICC研究者和合作者提出的、尚未开发的创新方法研究。以及与癌症控制中IS优化方法相关的研究能力和技能的增长。

ADMINISTRATIVE CORE SUMMARY The Administrative (Admin) Core will form the foundation of the Optimizing Implementation Science in Cancer Control (OPTICC) Center. The overarching goal of the Admin Core is to maximize the OPTICC Center’s impact on implementation science (IS) and cancer control through informing, supporting, and monitoring progress of OPTICC’s research agenda. The Admin Core has four specific aims. Aim 1 is to maximize OPTICC’s operational efficiency; the Admin Core will provide programmatic and administrative support for all Center investigators, the Research Program Core, and the Implementation Laboratory. The Admin Core will facilitate communications between the Cores. The Admin Core will support training in team science for all co-investigators and Study Leads in order to foster integration among our multi-disciplinary collaborators. Aim 2 is to grow the capacity of investigators to apply new IS optimization methods. We will market three different levels of training and mentoring opportunities. The three levels of training will include 1) one-on-one peer mentoring for OPTICC Study Leads, including structured support for follow-on proposals as these studies are completed, 2) training and technical assistance for post-doctoral fellows, new investigators, and established investigators new to IS during proposal development, and 3) general didactic sessions on IS methods for a broad audience, including graduate students. We will also collaborate with other ISCCCs to foster a network of national mentoring opportunities. To increase the OPTICC Center’s impact on reducing health disparities, we will encourage our trainees to develop IS proposals that focus on reaching populations experiencing health disparities, partnering with institutions that serve populations experiencing health disparities, or both. Aim 3 is to foster synergy across the ISCCCs, the IS research community, and key stakeholders. The Admin Core will lead activities related to disseminating OPTICC research findings to the research community and participating in and hosting ISCCC meetings and workshops. The Admin Core will also develop a searchable centralized repository of methodological tools and resources developed and refined through OPTICC studies, along with plain-language summaries of study findings with evidence organized by OPTICC’s causal pathway diagrams and massive open on-line courses. Aim 4 is to evaluate OPTICC’s impact. Each Core will have an evaluation plan with metrics specific to that Core’s aims and goals. In addition, we will evaluate the value of participating in OPTICC among Center co-investigators, trainees, staff, Implementation Laboratory Partners, and Scientific Advisory Board and Stakeholder Advisory Committee members Collectively, the expected outcomes of the Admin Core are an environment of research excellence, support for the innovative methodological studies proposed and yet to be developed by OPTICC investigators and collaborators, and growth in research capacity and skills related to IS optimization methods in cancer control.
