Organization and Administration

UCLA ICMIC的组织结构概览（图1）。赫希曼博士是 UCLA ICMIC的首席研究员，Phelps博士将担任共同首席研究员，尽管这不再是公认的NIH头衔。赫希曼和菲尔普斯是由一个预算的行政组成部分，包括秘书，财务和赠款准备援助的支持。 ICMIC计划有四个研究部分项目，由Ribas博士，Radu博士，Hong Wu博士和Herschman博士领导。有三种特殊的资源。由Satyamuthy博士指导的回旋加速器和放射化学专业资源为ICMIC研究提供正电子发射放射性示踪剂。由Stout博士指导的分子成像专业资源提供了分子成像仪器以及使用它们的专业知识，指导和技术援助。由亨利黄博士指导的定量图像分析专业资源，在图像解释和量化、数据存储和检索以及microPET数据建模方面提供专家帮助。专业资源提供成像试剂，仪器，技术援助，指导和智力洞察力，以支持研究组成项目，发展基金项目和职业发展受助人的研究工作。发展基金计划支持四个发展项目的稳定状态，通常为期两年。我们尽量错开项目，以便每年都有两个新的发展基金项目的竞争。然而，第二年的申请与新的申请竞争，有时我们会在第一年结束时终止一个发展项目，并在一年内启动三个新的发展项目。我们的职业发展部分为希望将分子成像整合到其研究计划中的候选人提供个人津贴-职业发展基金将重新竞争 每年。 Drs. Herschman和Phelps每季度由内部咨询委员会（第B.4节）提供咨询，该委员会由过去和现在的ICMIC项目主任组成，每年由外部咨询委员会成员提供咨询。

Overview of the organizational structure of the UCLA ICMIC (Figure 1). Dr. Herschman is Principal Investigator of the UCLA ICMIC, Dr. Phelps will serve functionally as Co-Principal investigator, although this is no longer a recognized NIH title. Drs. Herschman and Phelps are supported by a budgeted Administrative Component that include secretarial, financial and grants preparation assistance. The ICMIC program has four Research Component projects, headed by Drs Ribas, Radu, Hong Wu and Herschman. There are three Specialized Resources. The Cyclotron and Radiochemistry Specialized Resource, directed by Dr. Satyamuthy, provides positron-emitting radiotracers for ICMIC studies. The Molecular Imaging Specialized Resource, directed by Dr. Stout, provides access to molecular imaging instrumentation as well as expertise, instruction and technical assistance in their utilization. The Quantitative Image Analysis Specialized Resource, directed by Dr Henry Huang, provides expert assistance in image interpretation and quantization, data storage and retrieval, and modeling of microPET data. The Specialized Resources provide imaging reagents, instrumentation, technical assistance, instruction and intellectual insight in support of the research efforts of the Research Component Projects, the Developmental Fund Projects and the Career Development recipients. The Developmental Fund program supports a steady state of four Developmental Projects, usually of two years duration. We try to stagger the projects so that each year there will be a competition for two new Developmental Fund Projects. However, second year applications are in competition with new applications, and on occasion we will terminate a Developmental Project at the end of the flrst year and initiate three new Developmental Projects in one year. Our Career Development Component provides individual stipends to candidates who want to integrate molecular imaging into their research programs- Career Development funds are recompeted annually. Drs. Herschman and Phelps are advised quarteriy by the Internal Advisory Board (Section B.4), which is made up of past and present ICMIC project directors, and annually by members of the External Advisory Board.
