6 ADMINISTRATIVE CORE 6.1 GOAL AND AIMS The goal of the Administrative Core is to support the EHSRC in achieving its vision and aims by the coordination, integration and assessment of Center cores, facilities, membership, activities and budgets. The specific aims of the Administrative Core are to: Aim 1) Provide direction and leadership to promote the vision, goals and aims of the Center; Aim 2) Provide interdisciplinary coordination and foster interactions between Center members, research cores, and facilities; Aim 3) Administer the Pilot Grant Program, Career Development Program and Director's Fund; Aim 4) Promote environmental health outreach through administrative support of COEC; Aim 5) Assess and document the productivity and effectiveness of Center activities; Aim 6) Foster interactions with NIEHS, Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) Centers elsewhere and with other EHS organizations; and Aim 7) Leverage institutional resources for the Center. The Administrative Core plays a central role under the guidance of the Internal and External Advisory Committees. The Administrative Core interacts with all Research Cores, Facility Cores, the COEC and the NIEHS Division of Extramural Research and Training (DERT) to foster interactions and advance the goals and aims of the Center as well as those of NIEHS. The Administrative Core provides assessment of the productivity and effectiveness of EHSRC components and determines the appropriateness of Center activities. The Core is responsible for the submission and management of competing, non-competing and supplemental grant proposals. The Core also responds to inquiries from NIEHS, the University or the College of Public Health regarding activities of the EHSRC and connects the Research Cores with COEC Activities. 6.7 DIRECTOR'S FUND A Director's Fund has been added by NIEHS as an option to the Core Centers program since our last competitive renewal. In this renewal application we have elected to institute a Director's Fund budgeted at $50,000/year. This fund will be under the purview of the IAC with final decisions made by the Center Director in consultation with the Deputy Director. Effectiveness of the Director's Fund allocations will be monitored by the Center Deputy Director and reviewed annually by the Internal and the External Advisory Committees. Anticipated uses of the Director's Fund include: 1) timely response to emerging environmental health issues or disasters; 2) purchase or replacement of a device essential to center facility operations: and 3) development of new technology identified as important to advancing center goals. We expected to allocate the Director's Funds for special projects that respond to an environmental disaster or a unique environmental health issue requiring a rapid response. Examples include devastating floods such as the Iowa Floods of 2008, large scale hazardous substance spills or explosions that pose a risk to public health. The Director's Fund may also be used to purchase or replace a key piece of Facility Core equipment, the need for which could not have been anticipated in the regular budgeting process (e.g. premature failure of a major piece of equipment, or the identification of a new technology that would be of great benefit to the Center).

6行政核心 6.1目标和目标 行政核心的目标是支持EHSRC通过对中心核心，设施，会员，活动和预算的协调，整合和评估来实现其愿景和目标。行政核心的具体目的是： 目标1）提供指导和领导地位，以促进中心的愿景，目标和目标； 目标2）提供中心成员，研究核心和设施之间的跨学科协调和寄养相互作用； 目标3）管理试点赠款计划，职业发展计划和董事基金； 目标4）通过对COEC的行政支持来促进环境健康外展； 目标5）评估和记录中心活动的生产力和有效性； 目标6）促进与NIEH，环境卫生科学（EHS）中心以及其他EHS组织的相互作用；和 目标7）利用该中心的机构资源。 在内部和外部咨询委员会的指导下，行政核心起着核心作用。行政核心与所有研究核心，设施核心，COEC和NIEHS校外研究与培训部（DERT）互动，以促进互动并促进中心的目标和目标以及NIEHS的目标。行政核心提供了EHSRC组件的生产率和有效性的评估，并确定了中心活动的适当性。核心负责提交和管理竞争，非竞争和补充赠款建议。核心还回应了NIEHS，大学或公共卫生学院对EHSRC活动的询问，并将研究核心与COEC活动联系起来。 6.7董事基金 自我们上次竞争性更新以来，NIEHS已将董事基金作为核心中心计划的选择。在此续签申请中，我们选择以每年50,000美元的价格制定董事基金。该基金将在IAC的权限下，并由中心主任与副董事协商。董事基金分配的有效性将由中心副董事监视，并每年由内部和外部咨询委员会进行审查。董事基金的预期用途包括： 1）及时回应新兴的环境健康问题或灾难； 2）购买或更换中心设施操作必不可少的设备： 3）开发新技术对于促进中心目标很重要。 我们希望将董事的资金分配给应对环境灾难的特殊项目或需要快速响应的独特环境健康问题。例子包括毁灭性的洪水，例如2008年的爱荷华州洪水，大规模的危险物质溢出或爆炸危害公共卫生的风险。该董事基金还可以用于购买或更换关键的设施核心设备，这在常规预算过程中无法预期的需要（例如，主要设备的过早失败，或确定对中心有很大好处的新技术的识别）。
