Administration of Southeast Asia Malaria Research Center

该ICEMR项目旨在更好地了解东南亚的疟疾流行病学、病媒生物学和青蒿素耐药性机制，以便在该地区通过准确监测疾病、综合病媒控制和更有效的化疗相结合，实现更有效、更有针对性的疟疾控制。来自美国、泰国和中国多个机构的大量重要研究人员的参与，以及我们在中国、缅甸和泰国战略性地选择多个研究地点，都要求对该项目进行有效的管理。为了应对这一挑战，建立了这个行政核心：1)为管理、协调和监督本项目的研究活动提供行政支持；2)对参与的国内外机构的赠款会计进行财务监督；3)对本项目培训内容进行有效的行政管理。我们制定了管理和协调所有研究和培训活动的行政结构和程序。该行政核心将促进该计划的研究相关活动，协助组织icemr相关会议，并制定和提交年度进展和财务报告。除了项目主任和联合主任在整体管理方面的重大贡献外，我们还指定了国内协调员，以进一步加强对研究地点科学活动的日常监督和协调。虽然该核心机构将对该计划进行全面的财务管理，但疫情国家的集中财务管理机构将用于提供额外的财务监督。对于该计划的培训部分，该核心将为该计划中的职业发展项目和所有其他培训活动提供行政支持。参与机构之间的广泛合作以及现有的研究和培训项目为我们提供了成功管理该计划的经验和建立的机制。

This ICEMR program endeavors to achieve a better understanding of malaria epidemiology, vector biology, and mechanisms of artemisinin resistance in Southeast Asia so that more effective, targeted malaria control can be achieved through a combination of accurate surveillance of the disease, integrated vector control, and more effective chemotherapy in this region. The involvement of a large number of key investigators from multiple institutions from the U.S., Thailand, and China, and our strategic selection of multiple study sites in China, Myanmar and Thailand require effective administration of the program. To meet this challenge, this administrative core is established to 1) provide administrative support for managing, coordinating, and supervising the research activities of this program; 2) provide financial oversight of grant accounting at participating domestic and foreign institutions; and 3) provide effective administrative management of training components of this program. We have developed an administrative structure and procedures for managing and coordinating all research and training activities. This administrative core will facilitate research-related activities of the program, assist in the organization of ICEMR-related meetings, and develop and submit annual progress and financial reports. In addition to the significant dedication of the program director and codirectors in the overall administration, we have also designated in-country coordinators to further enhance daily supervision and coordination of the scientific activities at the study sites. While this core will provide overall financial administration of the program, a centralized financial administration at the endemic countries will be used to provide additional financial oversight. For the training component of this program, this core will provide administrative support for the career development projects and all other training activities within this program. The extensive collaborations and existing research and training projects among the participating institutions provide us the experience and established mechanisms for the successful administration of this program.
