Administrative Core (A-Core)

项目概要/摘要：行政核心（A-Core） 该计划由一名总计划主任领导，由三个项目和三个核心组成。拟议 一项研究计划研究了技术和数字媒体（TDM）与学龄前儿童的关系。 儿童的发展和健康成果。行政核心（A-Core）是中央组织机构， 为了这个项目。其目标是成功地协调项目和核心的活动， 促进团队合作，合作，并最终以高效，具有成本效益的方式发挥协同作用。A-Core拥有 5个具体的目标，这是精心构建的这一目标铭记。具体目标1开始这一进程， 为整个项目制定管理计划。该计划由一个执行领导小组组成 由每个项目或核心的一名负责人、全项目范围的沟通和培训计划、外部 科学咨询委员会和数据安全和监测委员会。具体目标2将创建一个安全的，集中的 管理系统，以容纳关键文件，并通过提供准备就绪的 获取关键研究文件。具体目标3将确保计划活动与现有政策保持一致 儿童营养研究中心和贝勒大学儿科系的研究和程序 医学院。虽然项目1和3将独立招募参与者， 具体目标4项目将通过协调和监测总体征聘工作，帮助确保一致性。和 最后，具体目标5将制定风险缓解计划，解决参与者和教职员工的风险。 通过建立一个促进团队、项目和核心之间协同作用的框架， 将创建一个循环，使团队协同作用和项目/核心协同作用相互作用，以促进整个计划 协同作用，从而产生更大的计划影响。这一方法还将为 可持续的系统，这将使这项研究的继续。最终，这项工作的影响是， 有助于更精确的TDM指南。拟议的研究与NICHD的总体使命一致 以及RFA-HD-22-009的总体意图。

Project Summary/Abstract: Administrative Core (A-Core) This Program, led by an overall Program Director, is comprised of three Projects and three Cores. The proposed program of research examines the associations of technology and digital media (TDM) with preschool-aged children’s development and health outcomes. The Administrative Core (A-Core) is the central organizing body for the Program. Its goal is to successfully coordinate the activities of the Projects and Cores in a way that facilitates teamwork, cooperation, and, ultimately, synergy in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The A-Core has 5 Specific Aims that were carefully constructed with this goal in mind. Specific Aim 1 begins this process by establishing a management plan for the overall Program. The plan consists of an Executive Leadership Team comprised of one Lead from each Project or Core, a program-wide communication and training plan, an external scientific advisory board, and a data safety and monitoring board. Specific Aim 2 will create a secure, centralized management system to house key documents and promote an atmosphere of transparency by providing ready access to key study documents. Specific Aim 3 will ensure Program activities are consistent with existing policies and procedures of both the Children’s Nutrition Research Center and the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. Although Projects 1 and 3 will independently recruit participants for their respective Projects, Specific Aim 4 will help ensure consistency by coordinating and monitoring overall recruitment. And finally, Specific Aim 5 will develop risk mitigation plans that address risks to both participants and faculty/staff. By establishing a framework for promoting synergy among both the team and the Projects and Cores, a feedback loop will be created whereby team synergy and Project/Core synergy interact to promote overall Program synergy, thereby leading to greater Program impact. This approach will also create the framework for a sustainable system that will enable continuation of this research. Ultimately, the impact of this work is that it will contribute to more precise TDM guidelines. The proposed research is consistent with NICHD’s overall mission as well as the overall intent of RFA–HD-22-009.
