PLANNING & EVALUATION

自上次CCSG审查以来，规划和评估过程经历了广泛的变化，以 提高规划和评估的有效性。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，以便审查过程 涵盖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。第二，出现了两次密集的 对临床研究基础设施的外部审查，一次是在2002年5月，另一次是在2005年6月。这个 AECC每年举办两次指导委员会的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。规划和评估也是一种 中心执行委员会和指导委员会定期会议的不可或缺的职能。最后，AECC 为全体会员主办一年一度的春季“进展”会议，在会上有新的研究领域和 技术介绍和成员介绍他们的研究活动。当前的外部科学 顾问是主席Robert Diasio(Mayo)、Shelton Earp(北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校)、Joseph neins(杜克大学)、Eric Fearon(密歇根大学)，Beverly Ginsburg(宾夕法尼亚大学)，David Johnson(范德比尔特大学)，Jim Willson(德克萨斯大学)， 里卡多·德拉-法维拉(哥伦比亚)，约翰·波特(华盛顿大学)，杰里米·泰勒(密歇根大学)，史蒂文 请求为外部科学咨询委员会年度会议提供资金 会议和一年一度的AECC“前进”校外中心范围的务虚会。

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.
