Administrative Core

行政和生物统计核心将为所有四个转化性研究项目和两个 研究核心。它将在约瑟夫·巴克沃特博士(CORT项目主任)的指导下进行。Dr。 巴克沃特将与托马斯·布朗博士(CORT项目副主任)合作，全面提供 对所有项目和核心进行行政指导和协调。他还将负责促进 项目和研究人员之间的互动，特别是生物工程师之间的互动，基础 科学家、影像专家和整形外科医生。他将促进和促进翻译 基础和生物工程研究转向以患者为基础的研究，并在此基础上激发新的基础研究 临床研究结果。如果需要，托马斯·布朗博士将承担以下责任 项目主管。CORT顾问组成员包括Martha Gray博士(研究和 联合成像新方法的发展)，Walter Herzog博士和Jack Lewis博士(有经验 在关节损伤和关节力学研究方面具有专业知识的生物机械师)，Stefan Lohmander，M.D. 博士(对关节损伤和创伤后进行重要研究的整形外科医生 骨性关节炎)和Carol Vorwald，R.N.(一位长期对患者感兴趣的门外汉 骨关节炎)。布朗博士和巴克沃特博士将密切合作，有效利用CORT 顾问组和浓缩计划。他们还将管理数据共享计划和 试点项目和可行性项目计划。Lois Lembke，司法部二级行政助理 骨科和康复，在管理补助金和部门方面有丰富的经验 程序。她将协助巴克沃特博士处理日常行政细节、项目协调、 并计划对该计划进行评估。她的参与将有助于监督和管理 CORT单位和个别项目预算。斯蒂芬·L·希利斯博士，美国疾病控制与预防中心高级生物统计师 爱荷华市退伍军人医疗创新战略实施研究(CRIIISP) 为中心内所有研究项目的发展提供了详细的咨询和指导 科尔特。他将继续参与所有项目并负责实验设计问题， 监测所有项目的数据收集和统计分析。

The Administrative and Biostatistics Core will serve all four translational research projects and the two research cores. It will be under the direction of Dr. Joseph Buckwalter (CORT Program Director). Dr. Buckwalter, working with Dr. Thomas Brown (Associate CORT Program Director), will provide overall administrative direction and coordination of all projects and cores. He will also be responsible for facilitating interaction between projects and investigators and in particular interactions between bioengineers, basic scientists, experts in imaging, and orthopaedic surgeons. He will promote and facilitate the translation of basic and bioengineering research to patient-based studies and stimulate new basic research based on the results of the clinical studies. Should the need arise; Dr. Thomas Brown will assume the responsibilities of the program director. The CORT Advisory Group includes Martha Gray, Ph.D. (an expert in study and development of new methods of joint imaging), Walter Herzog, Ph.D. and Jack Lewis, Ph.D. (experienced biomechanists with expertise in the study of joint injury and joint mechanics), Stefan Lohmander, M.D., Ph.D. (an orthopaedic surgeon who has conducted critical studies of joint injuries and post-traumatic osteoarthritis) and Carol Vorwald, R.N. (a lay person with long standing interest in patients with osteoarthritis). Dr. Brown and Dr. Buckwalter will work closely together to make effective use of the CORT Advisory Group and the Enrichment Program. They will also administer the Data Sharing Plan and the Program for Pilot and Feasibility Projects. Lois Lembke, Administrative Assistant II in the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, has extensive experience in administrating grants and departmental programs. She will assist Dr. Buckwalter with the day-to-day administrative details, program coordination, and planning an evaluation of the program. Her involvement will facilitate supervision and management of the CORT unit and the individual project budgets. Dr. Stephen L. Hillis, Senior Biostatician of the Center for Research in the Implementation of Innovative Strategies in Practice (CRIIISP) at the Iowa City VA Medical Center, has provided detailed consultation and direction for the development of all research projects within the CORT. He will be continually involved in all projects and responsible for experimental design issues, monitoring of data collection, and statistical analysis for all projects.
