Administrative Core

Skeleton研究中心的行政核心将负责管理核心 该中心的设施、试点和可行性方案以及充实方案。Latanya Turner女士，作为 行政长官和财政官员，将协助博士Kronenberg和Demay在他们的角色作为项目主任。 项目主管将每月与核心主管会面，每年至少与 执行委员会，由来自中心的杰出科学家和来自 中心外。这个委员会将对管理的各个方面提出建议。的一个重大原则 核心设施不是静态的，而是必须随着科学的进步而不断变化 改变核心服务的优先级，并随着各种服务需求的变化而变化。另一个主要 原则是，核心预算将取决于用户费，以支付几乎所有的供应成本， 早期的研究人员，资金有限。强调核心领导人的指导和指导， 渗透到中心的所有活动中。核心，几个讲座系列，和一个网站都将丰富的骨头 社区，并通过接触以前未参与的骨骼科学家来不断扩大社区 整个新英格兰和来自骨骼领域以外的科学家。 核心设施的管理将使骨科学的一大群有才华的研究人员更多 高效，便于新研究者进入骨领域。所有这些努力将导致更快的 诊断和治疗骨骼疾病的新策略。

The Administrative Core of the Center for Skeletal Research will have responsibility for managing the Core Facilities, the Pilot and Feasibility Program, and the Enrichment Program of the Center. Ms. Latanya Turner, as Administrator and Fiscal Officer, will assist Drs. Kronenberg and Demay in their roles as Program Directors. The Program Directors will meet monthly with the Core Directors and at least four times yearly with an Executive Committee, made up of distinguished scientists from the Center and two-three scientists from outside the Center. This committee will provide advice about all aspects of management. A major principle of management will be that Core Facilities are not static, but must constantly change, as scientific advances change the priorities for Core services and as the demand for various services changes. Another major principle is that the Core budgets will depend on user fees to cover virtually all supply costs, with discounts for early investigators with limited funding. An emphasis on mentoring and instruction by core leaders will permeate all activities of the Center. The cores, several lecture series, and a website will both enrich the bone community and serve to continually expand the community by reaching previously uninvolved bone scientists throughout New England and scientists from outside the bone field. Management of core facilities will make the bone science of a large group of talented investigators more efficient and facilitate the entry of new investigators to the bone field. All of these efforts will lead to speedier novel strategies to diagnose and treat bone diseases.
