Leadership, Administrative, and Food Composition Core

该计划的行政和食物组成核心项目提供了一组资源， 开展组成部分项目所必需的服务和领导技能。这些措施包括： 1.协调和支持威利特博士将全面领导在 这个节目。他每两周与所有项目负责人和协查人员会面一次，以小组形式进行审查 与总体计划和具体项目进展有关的问题，包括数据的优先顺序 收集和分析。这次会议提供了两国之间的智力交流和相互促进 调查人员。Rimm博士将协助Willett博士监督该方案的日常运作 项目。核心工作人员将为个人提供行政协助和秘书支助 项目，并促进它们之间的交流。 2.半定量食物频度问卷分析系统本问卷及其应用 配餐食品成分数据库和营养分析系统是我们共同使用的基础资源 各组成部分项目以及本机构内外的许多其他调查人员所提供的支持。这个 CORE将为一名高级营养师提供支持，负责开发和维护食品成分 数据库。 3.计算设施本核心将提供对计算机硬件和大量软件的访问 所有组成项目用于数据管理和分析的资源。这个计算机设施， 包括10台内存约为4 GB的服务器，位于邻近的Chning 实验室，并与护士健康研究和护士健康研究II协调。 通过这个核心，整个计划项目中的许多活动得到协调，以产生高 科学协同水平不会由孤立的研究项目提供。更进一步，太棒了 通过共享和协调使用共同的资源进行饮食评估，从而获得效率 以及在过去二十年中发展和改进的数据处理。

The Administrative and Food Composition Core for this Program Project provides a group of resources, services and leadership skills that are essential for the conduct of the component Projects. These consist of: 1. Coordination and Support Dr. Willett will provide the overall leadership for the Projects conducted within this Program. He meets with all Project leaders and co-investigators every two weeks as a group to review issues related to the overall Program and the progress of the specific Projects, including priorities for data collection and analysis. This meeting provides for intellectual interchange and cross-fertilization among the investigators. Dr. Rimm will assist Dr. Willett in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Program Project. The Core staff will provide administrative assistance and secretarial support for the individual Projects and facilitate communications among them. 2. The Semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire Analysis System This questionnaire and its companion food composition database and nutrient analysis system are basic resources that are used in all of the component Projects, as well as by many other investigators within and outside our institution. The Core will support a Senior Dietitian with responsibility for developing and maintaining the food composition database. 3. Computing Facilities This Core will provide access to the computer hardware and extensive software resources used for data management and analysis by all of the component Projects. This computer facility, including 10 servers with approximately four gigabytes of memory, is located at the neighboring Channing Laboratory and is coordinated with the Nurses' Health Study and Nurses' Health Study II. Through this Core, the many activities within the overall Program Project are coordinated to generate a high level of scientific synergy that would not be provided by isolated research projects. Further, great efficiencies are obtained by the shared and coordinated use of common resources for dietary assessment and data processing that have been developed and refined over the last two decades.
