LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION

核心A: HAALSI的领导和管理核心（LAC）为整个项目提供科学指导和组织监督。从启动到数据收集和分析阶段，再到数据的公开发布，其领导者和同事都对其科学完整性负责。拉加经委会由两个政策司、一个外部指导委员会、执行委员会、六个工作组和核心行政部门组成，通过建立可靠、反应迅速的通信系统，支持四个子项目和三个姊妹核心；有效的解决问题、技术和方法支持；监督行政管理；以及研究传播。规划项目的财政健康是LAC的责任。最后，LAC提供了与INDEPTH网络和科学家的有效接触，并努力协调与其他全球老龄化研究的方法。

Core A: HAALSI's Leadership and Administration Core (LAC) provides scientific direction and organizational oversight to the entire project. Its leaders and associates are responsible for its scientific integrity from its launch through the data collection and analysis stages, to the public release of the data. The LAC, comprised of a hierarchy of two Pis, an external steering committee, executive committee, six working groups, and core administration, supports each ofthe four subprojects and three sister cores by establishing solid, responsive communication systems; effective problem-solving, technical, and methodological support; supervision and administrative management; and research dissemination. The fiscal health ofthe program project is the responsibility ofthe LAC. Finally the LAC provides effective engagement with the INDEPTH network and scientists and works to harmonize approaches with other global aging studies. The specific aims of the LAC are: 1. Provide scientific, administrative and fiscal leadership for the projects and cores. 2. Implement ongoing evaluation ofthe program project as well as the specific projects and cores using objective criteria that will assess their potential impact and the degree to which they have achieved their aims. 3. Facilitate the dissemination of data and research findings through public release. 4. Create and oversee a comprehensive and inclusive publications program. 5. Establish an external steering committee to review project progress and ensure all objectives are met. 6. Oversee all protections for human subjects and ensure adherence to all protocols. 7. Oversee the administration of the pilot project program. 8. Establish priorities and set the direction for future initiatives and long-term directions related to adult population health and health disparities in Africa building on the INDEPTH network.
