PLANNING & EVALUATION

自上次CCSG审查以来，规划和评估过程发生了广泛的变化， 提高规划和评价的有效性。第一，外部科学咨询委员会 已增加到11名成员，并扩大了其专业知识， 涵盖了AECC研究活动的全部范围，包括管理和关键要素， 共享资源。该委员会自2002年以来每年举行一次会议。二是出现了两次密集 临床研究基础设施的外部审查，一次在2002年5月，另一次在2005年6月。的 AECC每年两次举行指导委员会校外规划和审查务虚会，重点是 审查中心的活动并确定未来的目标。规划和评价也是一项 该中心的定期执行和指导委员会会议的整体功能。最后，AECC 主办一年一度的春季“进步”会议，为全体成员，新的研究领域和 介绍技术和成员介绍他们的研究活动。目前，外部科学 顾问是罗伯特·迪亚西奥，主席（马约），谢尔顿厄普（查佩尔山），约瑟夫·内文斯（杜克），埃里克 Fearon（美国）密歇根州），贝弗利金斯伯格（美国。佩恩），大卫约翰逊（范德比尔特），吉姆威尔逊（德州大学）， 里卡多·德拉-法维拉（哥伦比亚），约翰·波特（美国）。华盛顿），杰里米泰勒（美国。密歇根州），史蒂文 Burakoff（纽约大学）为外部科学咨询委员会的年度会议申请资金 会议和年度AECC“进步”校外中心范围内的务虚会。

The process of planning and evaluation has undergone extensive changes since the last CCSG review to improve the effectiveness of both planning and evaluation. First, the External Scientific Advisory Committee has been increased to eleven members and broadened in its expertise so that the review process encompasses the full scope of research activities at AECC, including administration and key elements in shared resources. The committee has met yearly since 2002. Second, there have been two intensive external reviews of the clinical research infrastructure, one in May 2002 and the other in June 2005. The AECC has had biannual off-campus planning and review retreats of the Steering Committee focused on a review of Center activities and the identification of goals for the future. Planning and evaluation is also an integral function of the Center's regular Executive and Steering Committee meetings. Finally, AECC sponsors an annual spring "Advances" meeting for the entire membership where new research areas and technologies are introduced and members present their research activities. The current external scientific advisors are Robert Diasio, chair (Mayo), Shelton Earp (UNC Chapel Hill), Joseph Nevins (Duke), Eric Fearon (U. Michigan), Beverly Ginsburg (U. Penn), David Johnson (Vanderbilt), Jim Willson (UT Texas), Ricardo Della-Favera (Columbia), John Potter (U. Washington), Jeremy Taylor (U. Michigan), Steven Burakoff (NYU) Funding is requested for the annual meeting of the External Scientific Advisory Committee meeting and the annual AECC "Advances" off-campus Center-wide retreat.
