Administration Administrative Structure The administrative activities of the Core Center for Balance and Hearing Research will be performed primarily by the Core Director, Dr. Furman. Dr. Furman, the Core Director has extensive administrative experience both as the Director of the Division of Balance Disorders at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the Principal Investigator of our existing Core Center, and the Principal Investigator of a previously funded NIDCD Program Project Grant. Dr. Furman and all of the Core Investigators except Dr. Kandler have a history of collaboration and have established a strong working relationship. Dr. Furman and Dr. Kandler have known one another for more than five years as fellow faculty members at the University of Pittsburgh and have worked together recently in the development of this proposal. The Core investigators will meet as a group quarterly to discuss resource allocation and mutual computing technology concerns. In addition, Dr. Furman will meet with the scientific programmer, Christopher Bryant, weekly to discuss prioritization. This process has already been shown to be successful as Mr. Bryant has been supported by the existing Core Center and has provided computing services to the Core investigators on an as-needed basis. Dr. Furman, in discussion with the Core investigators and Mr. Bryant, has successfully allocated the scientific programmer's time. The addition of Dr. Kandler's laboratory to our group will increase the burden on Mr. Bryant's time. However, we do not expect this additional burden to be problematic. Each of the Core investigators recognizes that access to Mr. Bryant is a shared resource that is meant to enhance the research activities of the group overall. An obvious source of concern regarding the administration of the Core Center is that Dr. Furman is both the Core Director and one of the Core investigators. Thus, the Administrative Structure of the proposed Core Center includes an Oversight Committee that will consist of Dr. Jennifer Grandis, Vice-Chair, Research, Department of Otolaryngology, Dr. Margaretha Casselbrant, Chief, Divison of Pediatric Otolaryngology, and Dr. Robert Hendricks, PI of the University of Pittsburgh Department of Ophthalmology NEI-funded Core Center. The Oversight Committee will review the yearly progress reports of the Core Center and will be responsible for assisting Dr. Furman with issues concerning resource allocation. The activities of the Computing Core are likely to include the writing of software for data acquisition, the provision of advice and assistance regarding hardware interfacing, and software for data analysis. We expect that services provided to one investigator are very likely to be of interest to several other Core investigators. To facilitate the sharing of technological solutions to common problems and to foster collaborative research, the Core investigators will meet quarterly to discuss activities of the Computing Core. At these meetings, Mr. Bryant will report on his work for the preceding three months in an open forum with the Core investigators and their staff and trainees in attendance. Immediately following these meetings, the investigators will privately discuss issues of resource allocation for the prior and succeeding three months. These meetings will also be used to discuss possibilities for encouraging collaborative research among the Core investigators and among other scientists in Pittsburgh who have common research interests.

管理 行政结构 平衡和听力研究核心中心的行政活动将由 主要由核心主管弗曼博士负责弗曼博士，核心主任有广泛的行政管理 我曾担任匹兹堡大学医学院平衡障碍科主任， 中心，我们现有核心中心的主要研究者，以及以前的主要研究者 NIDCD计划项目赠款。Furman博士和除Kandler博士外的所有核心研究者都有一个 合作的历史，并建立了牢固的工作关系。弗曼博士和坎德勒博士 作为匹兹堡大学的同事，他们彼此认识超过五年， 最近在制定这项提案时一起工作。核心研究者将作为一个小组开会 讨论资源分配和共同关心的计算技术问题。此外，弗曼博士 将每周与科学程序员克里斯托弗·布莱恩特会面，讨论优先事项。这一进程 已经被证明是成功的，因为布莱恩特先生得到了现有核心中心的支持， 根据需要向核心调查人员提供计算服务。弗曼博士，在与 核心调查人员和布莱恩特先生，已经成功地分配了科学程序员的时间。的 坎德勒博士的实验室加入我们的团队会增加布莱恩特先生的时间负担。但我们 不要指望这个额外的负担是有问题的。每个核心调查员都认识到， 先生布莱恩特是一个共享的资源，旨在提高整个集团的研究活动。 关于核心中心的管理，一个明显的担忧来源是，弗曼博士既是 核心主管和核心调查员之一因此，拟议核心小组的行政结构 中心包括一个监督委员会，由研究副主席Jennifer Grandis博士组成， 耳鼻喉科，Dr. Aletha Casselbrant，儿科耳鼻喉科主任，Dr. 罗伯特·亨德里克斯，匹兹堡大学眼科系的PI NEI资助的核心中心。 监督委员会将审查核心中心的年度进度报告，并负责 协助弗曼博士解决资源分配问题 计算核心的活动可能包括编写数据采集软件， 就硬件接口和数据分析软件提供咨询和协助。我们预计 向一名研究者提供的服务很可能引起其他几名核心研究者的兴趣。 为了促进分享解决共同问题的技术办法，并促进合作研究， 核心研究人员将每季度开会讨论计算核心的活动。在这些会议上，先生。 布莱恩特将在与核心调查人员的公开论坛上报告他前三个月的工作， 他们的工作人员和学员出席。在这些会议之后，调查人员将私下 讨论前三个月和后三个月的资源分配问题。这些会议也将是 用于讨论鼓励核心研究者之间以及 匹兹堡的其他科学家有共同的研究兴趣。
