Component 2: Administrative Core

行政核心将为所有4个研究部门执行集中的行政职能 （第5-8部分）和试点项目（第9部分）。它还将协调科学委员会的活动， 支持核心（组件2-4）。项目咨询委员会将提供科学监督， 执行委员会将对ACTG的活动做出行政决定。执行委员会 我将设定目标，评估一般科学研究方向的进展，并监督质量控制 在中心活动的各个领域。还将对转基因动物生产进行监督， 行为测定、用于基因沉默和转基因表达的病毒载体的生产、成像和 组织学分析和基因组学服务。核心还将赞助浓缩活动，包括 演讲嘉宾，一个新的课程成瘾的神经生物学为加州大学旧金山分校神经科学研究生 计划，以及一个ACTG网站，以宣传ACTG赞助的活动，工作人员空缺和链接到其他 组织的网站。在行政部门内将有两条行政责任线。 核心梅辛博士，中心主任，将监督所有中心行政的一般协调 活动和中心的预算。科学总监Heberlein博士将监督协调 以及未来科学方向的规划。

The Administrative Core will perform the centralized administrative functions for all 4 Research Components (Components 5-8) and the Pilot Projects (Component 9). It also will coordinate the activities of the Scientific Support Cores (Components 2-4). The Program Advisory Board will provide scientific oversight, and the Executive Committee will make executive decisions regarding ACTG activities. The Executive Committee will set goals, evaluate progress toward general scientific research directions, and oversee quality control mechanisms in all areas of Center activity. Oversight also will be provided for transgenic animal production, behavioral assays, production of viral vectors for gene silencing and transgenic expression, imaging and histological analyses, and genomics services. The Core will also sponsor enrichment activities, including guest speakers, a new course on the Neurobiology of Addiction for the UCSF Neuroscience Graduate Program, and an ACTG website to publicize ACTG-sponsored events, staff openings and links to other organizations' websites. There will be two lines of administrative responsibility within the Administrative Core. Dr. Messing, the Center Director, will supervise the general coordination of all Center administrative activities and the Center's budget. Dr. Heberlein, the Scientific Director, will supervise the coordination of and future planning for scientific directions.
