管理核心 通过最先进的神经科学减少精神疾病的耻辱是Conte的主要使命 哈佛大学的研究中心。行政核心有三个目的：1)促进规划、协同和 评估多学科科学，2)支持设施和服务资源精简联合 研究工作，以及3)促进公众宣传和培训下一代心理健康 倡导者。在我们的第一阶段，一位敬业的外展主任和科学工作者的特殊承诺 作者Parizad Bilimoria博士与中心主任一起工作，建立了强大的基础设施和 合作伙伴网络，当前的核心将在此基础上建立。第一，科创企业的管理将 包括一个月刊俱乐部和轮流通过四个实验室的进展报告，一个中心务虚会包括 暑期学生实习生，以及一个强大的科学顾问委员会(SAB)，每年召开会议。我们最初的SAB 由海曼、苏德夫、尤斯特、格林伯格和弗格森-史密斯组成的DRS将重新配置，以适应新的 中心方向包括女性在干细胞和绒猴神经生物学方面的专业知识。第二，访问 信息技术(以前是该中心的核心)以及标准化的小鼠行为表型 在波士顿儿童医院的神经发育行为核心设施，将按以下费用进行管理- 服务基础贯穿行政核心。这将优先考虑我们密集的测序和连接 哈佛大学研究计算设施的需求，并提供一致的井- 为随后的解剖学和生理学分析而特化的动物。为多个实验室提供服务 在该中心，行政核心将促进协同增效，提高效率。第三，我们的外展计划 将得到加强和扩大。已经被称为是所有孔特中心(甚至是研究)的典范 大学通常)应该通过我们的NIH现场访问来运作，我们在哈佛校园的高度显眼的存在 并将保持在线(conte.atherard.edu)。创新项目，如心理冬会 本科生的健康事业，暑期高中教师培训工作坊，公开讲座系列， 波士顿科学博物馆和中心实验室的少数民族暑期实习将扩大。 每月公开讲座系列讲座，《孔蒂团队》为精神病、脑部疾病参加数次散步 宣传周活动和中学访问活动将继续进行。我们为提升科学素养而举办的活动 得到了包括分子细胞部在内的丰富的合作机构网络的支持 生物生命科学促进会，哈佛儿童发育中心，波士顿科学博物馆和 全国精神疾病联盟(NAMI)。我们打算在第二阶段率先采取的一项举措 是孔德中心的全国性聚会，分享他们的科学、伦理关切和外展经验。 因此，我们的受训人员将形成神经科学研究前沿的未来研究人员的管道，他们 能够以同理心和关怀向广大受众讲述他们工作的影响。

Administrative Core Reducing the stigma of mental illness through state-of-the-art neuroscience is the primary mission of the Conte Center at Harvard. The administrative core has a threefold purpose: 1) to facilitate planning, synergy and evaluation of the multidisciplinary science, 2) to support facilities and service resources streamlining joint research efforts, and 3) to promote public outreach and training of the next generation of mental health advocate. During our first phase, the exceptional commitment of a dedicated Outreach Director and science writer, Dr Parizad Bilimoria, working alongside the Center Director established a robust infrastructure and network of partners upon which the current core will build. First, management of the scientific enterprise will include a monthly journal club and progress report in rotation through the four labs, a Center Retreat including summer student interns, and a strong Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) to convene annually. Our original SAB comprised of Drs Hyman, Sudhof, Yuste, Greenberg and Ferguson-Smith, will be reconfigured to fit the new Center direction to include female expertise in stem cell and marmoset neurobiology. Second, access to information technology (formerly a core of the Center) as well as standardized mouse behavioral phenotyping at the Neurodevelopmental Behavioral Core facility in Boston Children's Hospital will be managed on a fee-for- service basis through the administrative core. This will prioritize our intense sequencing and connectomic demands at the Harvard University Research Computing facility, and provide consistent cohorts of well- characterized animals for subsequent anatomical and physiological analyses. By serving multiple laboratories in the Center, the administrative core will foster synergy and increase efficiency. Third, our Outreach program will be strengthened and expanded. Already dubbed “a model for how all Conte Centers (and even research universities generally) should operate” by our NIH site visit, our highly visible presence on the Harvard campus and on-line (conte.harvard.edu) will be maintained. Innovative programs such as the Wintersession on mental health careers for undergraduates, summer High School Teacher Training Workshop, public lecture series at the Boston Museum of Science and minority summer internships in Center laboratories will be expanded. Monthly public Colloquium series lectures, “Team Conte” participation in several walks for mental illness, Brain Awareness Week events and Middle School visits will be continued. Our activities to enhance science literacy are supported by a rich network of collaborating institutions including the Department of Molecular Cellular Biology Life Sciences Outreach, the Harvard Center on the Developing Child, Boston Museum of Science and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). One initiative which we aim to spearhead in the second phase is a national gathering of Conte Centers to share their science, ethical concerns and outreach experiences. Our trainees will thus form a pipeline of future investigators at the cutting edge of neuroscience research, who are able to address a broad audience about the implications of their work with empathy and care.
