Administrative Core

行政核心将为拟议的CNP中心提供全面的领导和组织基础设施。如图1所示，该中心将在行政上设在明尼苏达大学（UMN）的学术健康中心（AHC）。AHC由医学院、公共卫生学院、护理学院、牙科学院、药学院和兽医学院组成。决定将中心的行政管理置于AHC级别是因为，首先，它强调了中心的跨学科性质；第二，它使中心成为一个真正的全机构资源；第三，它消除了学校教师和学生参与CNP的障碍。中心将是

The Administrative Core will provide overall leadership and organizational infrastructure forthe proposed CNP Center. As shown in Figure 1, the Center will be administratively housed in the Academic Health Center (AHC) of the University of Minnesota (UMN). The AHC comprises the Medical School, School of Public Health, School of Nursing, School of Dentistry, College of Pharmacy, and College of Veterinary Medicine. The decision to house the Center administratively at the AHC level was made because, first, it emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature ofthe Center; second, it makes the Center a truly institution-wide resource; third, it eliminates barriers for participation in the CNP by faculty and students across schools. The Center will be physically located within a recently renovated 8,000 sq ft. office space that is also home to the Medical School's Program in Health Disparities Research, the Office of Community Engagement for Health in the UMN Clinical and Translational Science Institute, and the recently funded Centerfor Health Equity, an NIH Comprehensive Center of Excellence on Health Disparities (P60). Several leaders of the CNP Center already have offices in this space. In addition to resources within the proposed Center, the Center will have access in a collaborative fashion to current staff and facilities of these adjacent programs.
