Administrative Core

项目摘要：行政核心 行政核心的目标是提供监督和有凝聚力的组织，以便目标跨越 该中心可以以极高的效率和广泛的影响实现。行政核心由以下人员领导 中心主任，神经科学系教授马克·托马斯博士。托马斯医生是一位长期的 NIDA资助的研究人员，自最近以来一直在研究药物成瘾的神经回路 S。在明尼苏达大学任职期间，他成功地推出了两个核心设施 并在UMN成瘾医学发现小组(MDTA)的建立中发挥了关键作用。 我们的行政核心将被组织起来，以实现以下具体目标：目标1是建立和维护 具有明确定义的角色和责任的行政框架。我们设计我们的中心有几个 调查员和顾问小组，每个小组都有明确的作用和责任，以执行任务 中心的一部分。除了中心总监和核心联席领导外，这些小组还包括指导 负责管理中心运作的委员会和由以下人员组成的科学顾问小组 每个核心的内部和外部科学顾问，负责技术咨询和 发展。这些实体共同努力，将确保该中心对当地和 国家科学学院。目标2是为CORE开发和促进教育、培训和外展机会 调查人员。我们提出了各种措施，以促进：a)有效利用科学资源 中心由个别调查人员负责，不论他们以前对技术的经验如何；b) 广泛传播该中心促成的科学；c)分享技术，以及 可行的数据集，供国际科学界使用；以及d)外联活动和活动，以 让公众了解该中心的科学研究。

PROJECT SUMMARY: Administrative Core The goals of the Administrative Core are to provide oversight and cohesive organization, so that the Aims across the Center can be achieved with both great efficiency and broad impact. The Administrative Core will be led by Center Director, Dr. Mark Thomas, Professor in the Department of Neuroscience. Dr. Thomas is a long-standing NIDA-funded investigator who has been researching the neural circuits underlying drug addiction since the late 1990’s. During his tenure at the University of Minnesota (UMN), he has launched two successful Core facilities and played a key role in the establishment of the UMN’s Medical Discovery Team on Addiction (MDTA). Our Administrative Core will be organized to fulfill the following Specific Aims: Aim 1 is to build and maintain an administrative framework with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. We designed our Center with several groups of investigators and advisors, each with well-defined roles and responsibilities, to carry out the mission of the Center. In addition to the Center Director and the Core co-Leads, these groups include the Steering Committee, responsible for governance of Center operations, and the Scientific Advisory Panel, composed of internal and external Scientific Advisors for each Core who are responsible for technology consultation and development. Working together, these entities will ensure the Center has the maximal impact on local and national science. Aim 2 is to develop and promote education, training and outreach opportunities for Core investigators. We propose a variety of measures that will promote: a) effective use of the scientific resources in the Center by individual investigators, regardless of their level of prior experience with the technologies; b) widespread dissemination of the science made possible by the Center; c) sharing of the technology and, when feasible, data sets, for use by the international scientific community; and d) outreach activities and events to inform the public of the Center’s scientific research.
