Planning and Evaluation

在过去的两年里，夏威夷大学癌症中心(UHCC)的重大变革是在Carbone博士的领导下计划和实施的，投入的有EAB、夏威夷癌症联盟(HCC)合作伙伴、高级领导层以及UCC成员和特别顾问。在此期间确定和实现的主要目标包括成立城市中心和将城市城市中心转变为501(C)3实体，以及建立一个新的中心以容纳城市城市中心，该中心将于2012年11月启用。进一步加强当前和未来的研究工作已落实到 任命新的领导层、教职员工和支持人员，如赠款作者，为肝细胞癌制定共同的PRMS、DSM和IRB，在David Ward博士的领导下重组共享资源，重组临床翻译研究服务部内的临床试验办公室，并大幅增加赠款资金和资金筹集。 具体地说，自2009年以来，已聘用了11名在UCC拥有终身教职地点的新终身教员，以及与医学院和化学学院联合招聘的2名终身教职教员。此外，还有18个新的终身教职轨道职位可供征聘。教职员工将被安置在新的UCC大楼内，该大楼旨在容纳43名独立调查人员。学院人事委员会(DPC)负责审查新入职教师的资历，该委员会还负责监管终身教职和晋升的申请，以及UCC的成员资格申请。他们的建议被转交给署长，供其作出最后决定。对UCC和CC的研究、共享资源、管理和运营结构的评估都要进行内部和外部审查。这些审查包括夏威夷大学校长委员会、联合体委员会、外部咨询委员会和特别顾问的审查。一年一度的非现场教职员工务虚会也被用作评估每个UHC项目的科学进展的场所。

During the past 2 years, substantial changes in the University of Hawai'i Cancer Center (UHCC) have been planned and implemented under the leadership of Dr. Carbone, with input from the EAB, Hawai'i Cancer Consortium (HCC) partners, senior leadership, as well as from the UHCC membership at large and ad hoc consultants. The key goals identified and attained during this period include formation of the HCC and transformation of the UHCC to a 501(c)3 entity and the building of a new Center to house the UHCC, to be opened November 2012. Further strengthening of current and future research have been implemented by the appointment of new leadership, faculty and support personnel such as grant writers, development of a common PRMS, DSM and IRB for the HCC, reorganization of the Shared Resources under the leadership of Dr. David Ward, reorganization of the Clinical Trials Office within Clinical Translation Research Services and substantially increasing grant funding and fund raising. Specifically, 11 new tenure track faculty with locus of tenure at UHCC and 2 tenure track faculty in joint recruitments with the Medical School and the School of Chemistry have been hired since 2009. Moreover, 18 new tenure track positions are available for recruitment. The faculty will be housed within the new UHCC building that is designed to host 43 independent investigators. Credentials of faculty recruits are reviewed by a Departmental Personnel Committee (DPC), which also oversees tenure and promotion applications as well as applications for membership in the UHCC. Their recommendations are forwarded to the Director for final decisions. Evaluation of the research, shared resources, administration and operating structure of both the UHCC and HCC undergo internal and external review. These include review by the University of Hawai'i President's Committee, consortium committees, the External Advisory Board and ad hoc consultants. An annual off-site faculty and staff retreat is also used as a venue to evaluate the scientific progress of each of the UHCC programs.
