Emory Molecular and Translational Imaging Center

描述(由申请人提供)： 埃默里分子和转译成像中心(EMTIC)将受益于强大而适应性强的管理框架。三位经验丰富的专业人士(Meltzer博士、Goodman博士、Hu博士)将领导这项工作，他们在基础和转换成像方法和管理方面具有互补的专业知识。由研究项目绩效指标和专门资源(核心)主任组成的执行委员会将作为EMTIC监督和协调的中央交流平台。该委员会将进一步监督发展基金的科学审查、拨款和进展，以投资于未来潜在的分子和细胞癌症成像R01研究，并为职业发展指导委员会提供监督。EMTIC的行政和组织结构也得到了优化，以利用互补的埃默里战略倡议、医学院支持的核心资源和新资助的NIH埃默里-佐治亚癌症纳米技术卓越技术中心的跨学科协作优势。一个庞大多样的内部咨询委员会拥有来自这些倡议的科学和行政领导以及医学院和大学治理的广泛成员，并将为EMTIC的发展提供关键的战略规划职能。一年一度的外部咨询委员会会议将把具有补充技术和方案专业知识的高级顾问带到亚特兰大，对EMTIC的进一步发展进行正式审查和指导。 最重要的是，EMTIC将提供一个高度协作的网络，为调查员-调查员互动和小组学习提供充足的机会。正式研讨会和正在进行的非正式研究会议将补充在专门资源(核心)内举行的实验室会议。一个互动式的EMTIC网站和内联网将成为调查员交流以及与更广泛的科学界交流信息和科学发现的额外资源。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Emory Molecular and Translational Imaging Center (EMTIC) will benefit from a strong yet adaptive administrative framework. The shared expertise of three experienced PIs with complementary expertise in basic and translational imaging methodology and administration (Drs. Meltzer, Goodman, Hu) will lead the effort. An Executive Committee comprised of the Research Project PIs and Specialized Resource (Core) Directors will serve as the central communication platform for EMTIC's oversight and coordination. It is this Committee that will further oversee the scientific review, granting and progress of Developmental Funds to invest in potential future R01 studies of molecular and cellular cancer imaging, and provide oversight for the Career Development Steering Committee. The administrative and organizational structure of the EMTIC is also optimized to leverage cross-disciplinary collaborative advantages across complementary Emory strategic initiatives, School of Medicine-supported core resources, and the newly funded NIH Emory-Georgia Tech Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence. A large diverse Internal Advisory Committee has broad membership from the scientific and administrative leadership of these initiatives and School of Medicine and University governance and will provide a critical strategic planning function for the growth of EMTIC. The annual External Advisory Committee meeting will bring senior advisors with complementary technical and programmatic expertise to Atlanta for formal review and guidance of EMTIC's further development. Of prime importance, EMTIC will provide a highly collaborative network with ample opportunity for investigator-investigator interactions and group learning. Formal seminars and informal research in progress sessions will supplement lab meetings conducted within the Specialized Resources (Cores). An interactive EMTIC website and intranet will be an additional resource for investigator communication and for exchange of information and scientific findings with the broader scientific community.
