Center for Advancing Multimorbidity Science: Profiling risk and symptom expression to develop customized therapies for adults with multiple chronic conditions (CAMS)

中心行政核心的总体目标是确保1）中心的总体目标是 及时实现，2）科学生产力最大化，3）科学家的新干部， 制定了将推动该中心的使命远远超出资助期的计划。我们的长期目标 是将这个探索中心扩展为卓越中心。我们已经建立了一个特殊的多- 中心学院的学科团队执行行政核心的目标，以促进和 改善患有复杂多种慢性病的个人的健康。该委员会的具体目标 行政核心是： 1.监督中心的所有活动，包括：1）协调和整合中心的 教师，工作人员和资源; 2）监控富集计划，分析核心和试点 行政核心。 2.促进项目PI，导师和教师附属机构之间的沟通，以及 与更大的UI研究社区，其他资助中心建立网络和合作， NINR。 3.通过发展机构支持、其他NIH和外部支持，促进中心的可持续性 资金/支持，跨学科合作，利用旧的和建立新的研究 资源（如数据储存库），开发和实施可持续性逻辑模型， 并创建了一个中心可持续发展的大学领导委员会。 4.通过多层次的评估过程支持对中心的评估，包括 内部监督，由爱荷华州大学中心进行的深入评估计划， 评价和评估，并将一名外部评价顾问列为 外部咨询委员会。 为了实现这些目标，我们建立了一个行政核心结构与中心工作人员， 内部执行委员会（包括一名具有消费者视角的非专业人士， 多种慢性疾病），外部咨询委员会，以及大学领导委员会 可持续性，确保可持续性。此外，为确定进展基准并确定 为了改进，我们得到了爱荷华州大学评估中心的帮助， 考核 .

The overall goals of Administrative Core of the Center are to ensure that 1) the Overall Center aims are achieved in a timely manner, 2) scientific productivity is maximized, and 3) a new cadre of scientists is developed that will advance the mission of the Center well beyond the funding period. Our long-term goal is to extend this Exploratory Center to a Center of Excellence. We have assembled an exceptional multi- disciplinary team of Center Faculty to execute the aims of the Administrative Core to promote and improve the health of individuals with complex multiple chronic conditions. The specific aims of the Administrative Core are to: 1. Provide oversight of all Center activities, including: 1) coordination and integration of the Center's faculty, staff and resources; and 2) monitoring the Enrichment Program, Analytics Core, and Pilot Administrative Core. 2. Facilitate communication among the Project PIs, mentors, and faculty affiliates, as well as networking and collaboration with the larger UI research community, other funded Centers, and NINR. 3. Promote sustainability of the Center by developing institutional support, other NIH and external funding/support, interdisciplinary collaborations, leveraging old and building new research resources (e.g. data repository), developing and implementing a logic model for sustainability, and creating a University Leadership Committee for Center Sustainability. 4. Support the evaluation of the Center through a multi-layered evaluation process that includes internal oversight, an in-depth evaluation plan carried out by the University of Iowa Center for Evaluation and Assessment and inclusion of an external Evaluation Consultant as a member of the External Advisory Committee. To accomplish these aims we have created an Administrative Core structure with Center Staff, an Internal Executive Committee (which includes a lay person with consumer perspective on managing multiple chronic conditions), an External Advisory Committee, and a University Leadership Committee on Sustainability to ensure sustainability. Furthermore, to benchmark progress and identify areas for improvement, we have enlisted assistance from the University of Iowa Center on Evaluation and Assessment. .
