THE CENTER OF URBAN RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN DIABETES AND METABOLISM-ADMIN CORE

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。行政和发展核心提供中心组成部分、教师、资源和项目的协调和整合。它确保了德鲁糖尿病和代谢城市研究和教育中心（CURE-DM）竞争更新申请的目标及时实现，科学生产力最大化，中心资源得到最佳利用。它负责监测研究和培训以及社区活动的进展情况。该核心负责日常运作，并监督和实施关键活动，如采购、财务、人事、财政规划、预算、战略规划、教师招聘、科学指导、评估和项目规划。为青年教师的三个研究项目提供指导、资金和科学支持。另一项责任是招募一名新招募的调查员，并为他/她的项目提供初步支持。发展部分包括五个主要活动：指导、培训计划、发展计划、项目财政支持和科学指导。行政和发展核心的具体目标是：1。通过招募一名新兴的、高生产力的初级研究员来建立学术生涯，增强机构的临床研究能力；2. 为发展项目提供支持，以激励和更好地培养有前途的初级研究人员，他们坚定地致力于影响弱势群体的问题，从事临床研究工作；3. 通过支持师徒研究项目，促进教师发展，将专注的高级研究员与有前途的初级教师配对，并通过为初级教师提供咨询委员会的正式指导基础设施；4. 通过参加培训计划，加强和提高有前途的青年教师的研究生产力和科学交流技能，促进教师发展；和5。持续评估CURE-DM的流程和目标，并利用这些评估与NCRR项目官员协商，进行持续的项目改进。除了为CURE-DM人员和他们的研究活动提供持续的行政支持外，还开展了以下培训活动：由于我们非常高的住房成本，在洛杉矶地区招聘教员存在困难，因此招聘新教员的努力仅限于已经居住在洛杉矶的人员。行政和发展中心的其他人事变动是聘用了一名护士经理（布兰卡·纳瓦罗，注册护士），一名研究协调员（博玛·布里格斯），一名全职行政秘书（贝弗利·杰克逊），并以医学博士柯利·邦德取代精神病学家凯伦·约翰逊（医学博士，已离开该机构），以帮助指导埃切韦里博士的研究项目。邦德博士的薪水部分已经转移到研究项目的预算中。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Administrative and Development Core provides coordination and integration of the center components, faculty, resources and projects. It ensures that the objectives of this competitive renewal application for the Drew ¿Center of Urban Research and Education in Diabetes and Metabolism¿ (CURE-DM) are achieved in a timely manner, that scientific productivity is maximized, and that center resources are optimally utilized. It is responsible for monitoring of research and training, and the progress of community activities. This core is responsible for the day-to-day operations and provides oversight and implementation of key activities such as procurement, finances, personnel, fiscal planning, budgeting, strategic planning, faculty recruitment, scientific direction, evaluation, and program planning. It also provides mentoring, financial, and scientific support for the three research projects of the junior faculty. An additional responsibility is the recruitment of a new recruited investigator and initial support of his/her project. The development component consists of five major activities: mentorship, a training program, a development plan, project financial support, and scientific guidance. The specific aims of the Administrative and Development Core are to: 1. Enhance institutional clinical research capabilities by recruiting an emerging and highly productive junior investigator positioned to build an academic career; 2. Provide support for developmental projects to stimulate and better prepare promising junior investigators with a strong commitment to issues affecting disadvantaged populations for clinical research careers; 3. Promote faculty development through the support of mentored-research projects by pairing dedicated senior investigators with promising junior faculty and by providing an infrastructure for formal mentoring via an advisory committee for the junior faculty members; 4. Promote faculty development through access to training programs to strengthen and increase the research productivity and scientific communication skills of promising junior faculty; and 5. Continuously evaluate CURE-DM¿s processes and objectives and utilize these assessments to make ongoing programmatic improvements in consultation with NCRR program officials. In addition to providing ongoing administrative support for CURE-DM personnel and their research activities, the following training activities were carried out: Because of the difficulty in recruiting faculty to the Los Angeles area due to our very high housing costs, efforts at recruitment of new faculty were limited to those already living in Los Angeles. Other personnel changes that have occurred in the Administrative and Development Core is the hiring of a Nurse Manager (Blanca Navarro, RN), a Research Coordinator (Boma Briggs),a Full time Administrative Secretary (Beverly Jackson) and replacing the psychiatrist Karen Johnson, MD, PhD (who left the institution) with ,Curley Bonds, MD to help mentor Dr. Echeverry in her research project. Dr. Bond¿s salary component has been moved to the budget of the research project.
