Abstract The Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) Consortium aims to influence continent- wide research capacity in health and genomics through support from the National Institutes of Health and the Wellcome Trust. H3Africa has approximately 500 members from 26 different projects, networks and sub-nodes spanning 32 countries. This consortium is supported by over 10 working groups, an Informatics Network, three Biorepositories, and a Data and Biospecimen Access Committee. H3Africa is governed by a Steering Committee with oversight from an Independent Expert Committee. Such complex pan-African networks of inter-institutional, multi-national research partnerships require an Administrative Coordinating Centre for cohesion and coordination. The H3Africa Administrative Coordinating Centre (H3ACC) builds on previous strengths and accomplishments to enhance provision of support to the H3Africa research and training grants through six aims outlined below: 1) provision of quality and reliable administration and line of communication 2) provision of fiscal and logistical support for the consortium meetings and cross- Consortium activities 3) being custodians and overseers of cross-Consortium collaborations, resources and databases 4) facilitating the pooling of training resources, opportunities and career-tracking of Fellows 5) monitor, evaluate and report on the progress and impact of the H3ACC and the consortium 6) facilitation of stakeholder engagement activities and awareness of genomics research targeted at increased buy-in. The H3ACC activities will result in a networked, efficient and sustainable H3Africa.

抽象的 非洲人类遗传与健康 (H3Africa) 联盟旨在影响非洲大陆—— 通过国家研究所的支持，在健康和基因组学方面拥有广泛的研究能力 健康和威康信托基金会。 H3Africa 拥有来自 26 个国家的约 500 名会员 跨越 32 个国家的不同项目、网络和子节点。这个财团是 由 10 多个工作组、一个信息学网络、三个生物样本库和一个 数据和生物样本获取委员会。 H3Africa 由指导委员会管理 并接受独立专家委员会的监督。如此复杂的泛非网络 机构间、跨国研究伙伴关系的建立需要行政管理 协调中心的凝聚力和协调性。 H3非洲行政 协调中心 (H3ACC) 立足于以往的优势和成就， 通过六个目标加强对 H3Africa 研究和培训赠款的支持 概述如下： 1) 提供优质可靠的管理和通信线路 2）为联合体会议和跨界会议提供财政和后勤支持 联盟活动 3) 作为跨联盟合作的托管人和监督者， 资源和数据库 4) 促进培训资源、机会和 研究员的职业跟踪 5) 监控、评估和报告项目的进展和影响 H3ACC 和联盟 6) 促进利益相关者参与活动以及 对旨在增加支持的基因组学研究的认识。 H3ACC活动将 打造一个网络化、高效和可持续的 H3Africa。
