Administrative Core

我们提出了一个庞大而复杂的计划，以发现结核分枝杆菌的基因功能。 核心A致力于管理这种复杂性，以确保我们能够实现目标， 传播我们的发现和我们生产的试剂。为了实现这一目标，我们需要管理我们的内部资源，特别是提供对核心技术资源的适当访问，并允许NIH进行适当的监督。 我们计划通过两种方式实现这些目标。首先，我们将促进该计划的管理。资源的获取将由项目和核心代表组成的管理委员会商定。我们将通过使用与Core E一起定制的基于网络的管理软件套件来提供帮助，这将使我们能够跟踪单个基因的进展并有效利用Core技术。第二，我们将为研究者和申办者提供交流思想和经验的平台。我们将定期召开调查人员会议，包括实体会议和虚拟会议， 交换信息此外，项目负责人将每年与NIH的项目官员会面。所有的管理工作都将由核心领导人在一位经验丰富的项目经理的帮助下进行监督。

We are proposing a large and complex program to discover gene funcfion in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Core A is dedicated to managing this complexity to ensure that we are able to achieve our goals and to disseminate our findings and the reagents we produce. To accomplish this we will need to manage our internal resources, particularly to provide appropriate access to the technical resources available in the Cores, and permit proper oversight by the NIH. We plan to fulfill these goals in two ways. First, we will facilitate management of the program. Access to resources will be agreed upon by a management committee consisfing of representatives of the projects and cores. We will be aided by the use of a web-based management software suite, customized together with Core E, that will allow us to track the progress with individual genes and to make efficient use of Core technologies. Second, we will provide platforms to exchange ideas and experiences among the investigators and sponsors. We will have regular meetings of the investigators, both physical and virtual, to exchange information. Moreover, program leaders will meet annually with program officers at the NIH. All management will be overseen by the Core Leader with help from an experienced program manager.
