Administrative Core

项目摘要 拟议中的环境健康差异研究卓越中心（EHD），名为“差异” 在整个生命过程中多种环境压力的暴露和健康影响中， 一个高度整合和协作的项目。该中心包括三个研究项目， 并相互通报，一个社区参与核心，直接有助于研究使命， 传播所有项目的发现，以及一个试点项目计划，以加强我们目前的研究工作 在马萨诸塞州的两个选定的社区，并将其扩展到美国的其他人群。的 中心内的关键人员都表现出成功协调和完成 复杂的跨学科项目，包括一些涉及多个中心成员的项目。我们有 设计了行政核心，以建立在这些成功的经验，同时增加了新的组成部分， 最大限度地提高集成度和生产力。 行政核心将通过协调研究工作支持中心的所有活动， 跟踪项目和大学的进展情况;提供财政和资源管理;提供 监督数据收集和管理工作;与咨询委员会保持沟通， 机构和社区合作伙伴;建立和维护职业发展计划;以及 将中心的活动与哈佛大学的相关工作联系起来。Chan School of Public Health（HSPH） 哈佛医学院（HMS）、波士顿大学公共卫生学院（BUSPH）、波士顿大学学院 医学（BUSM）和其他EHD中心。具体目标是：（1）提供全面的行政管理 协调研究项目活动所需的基础设施;（2）监测生产力， （3）建立一个内部指导委员会和外部指导委员会， （4）为中心的顾问提供指导和职业发展机会; 职业发展研究者（CDIs）和其他早期研究者;（5）连接中心研究者 与HSPH/HMS和BUSPH/BUSM的各种相关工作和活动;以及（6）提供平台， 向科学界感兴趣的利益攸关方、 目标社区和普通民众。

PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed Center of Excellence on Environmental Health Disparities Research (EHD), titled ―Disparities in Exposure and Health Effects of Multiple Environmental Stressors Across the Life Course‖ is structured to be a highly integrated and collaborative program. The Center includes three Research Projects that depend on and inform one another, a Community Engagement Core that contributes directly to the research mission and disseminates findings from all projects, and a Pilot Project Program that enhances our current research efforts in two selected communities in Massachusetts and extends them to other populations in the United States. The key personnel within the Center have all demonstrated the ability to successfully coordinate and complete complex interdisciplinary projects, including a number of projects involving multiple Center members. We have designed the Administrative Core to build on these successful experiences while adding novel components to maximize integration and productivity. The Administrative Core will support all activities of the Center by coordinating research efforts and tracking progress across the projects and universities; providing fiscal and resource management; providing oversight of data collection and management efforts; maintaining communication with advisory boards, funding agencies, and community partners; establishing and maintaining a career development program; and connecting Center activities with related efforts at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH), Harvard Medical School (HMS), Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), and other EHD Centers. The Specific Aims are: (1) provide the overall administrative infrastructure necessary to coordinate activities among research projects; (2) monitor the productivity and resources of the Center and its subcomponents; (3) assemble an Internal Steering Committee and External Advisory Board for the Center; (4) provide mentoring and career development opportunities for the Center’s Career Development Investigators (CDIs) and other early-stage investigators; (5) connect Center investigators and activities with various related efforts at HSPH/HMS and BUSPH/BUSM; and (6) provide platforms for disseminating research findings to interested stakeholders in the scientific community, populations within the target communities, and the general population.
