Administrative Core of the Texas RCMAR

行政核心摘要 德克萨斯州RCMAR的行政核心将负责 中心。它将协调拟议的活动，并确保其他两个核心和附属机构 以最佳方式互动以实现中心目标：增强老龄化研究人员的多样性 通过从代表性不足的人群中招聘和指导科学家，以实现在行为学领域的持续职业生涯， 社会、经济和医学研究的重点是少数族裔人口，主要是德克萨斯州的拉美裔/拉丁裔， 美国西南部和墨西哥。具体目标包括：维持活动的信息流 和决策，以创建机制和程序，以确保德克萨斯RCMAR核心最大限度地交互 与研究教育核心(REC)合作，监督以下项目的征求、审查和遴选 资金方面的试点研究。行政核心将设立一个执行委员会，由Dr。 马基德博士，由区域经济合作委员会领导王荣奎博士、分析核心领导郭燕芬博士、K。 预防医学和社区卫生部门教育副主席Peek E.Volpi博士， UTMB Sealy Center on Aging和UTMB Claude Pepper老年美国人独立中心主任 UTMB临床和翻译科学奖(CTSA)主任A.R.Brasier和J.Angel， 得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校公共事务教授，年度国际 美洲老龄问题会议。行政核心还将征聘一个外部咨询小组 至少由五个成员组成的。管理核心将确保德克萨斯州RCMAR与 德克萨斯大学医学部NIH资助的其他中心，包括UTMB克劳德·佩珀 独立中心，UTMB临床和翻译科学奖，以及国家档案馆 密歇根大学的计算机化老龄化数据(NACDA)。

Administrative Core Abstract The Administrative Core of the Texas RCMAR will be responsible for the overall direction and operation of the Center. It will coordinate proposed activities and assure that the other two cores and affiliated institutions interact optimally to accomplish the center objectives: to enhance the diversity of the aging research workforce by recruiting and mentoring scientists from underrepresented populations for sustained careers in behavioral, social, economic and medical research focused on minority populations, primarily Hispanics/Latinos in Texas, the Southwestern United States, and Mexico. Specific aims include: to maintain information flow of activities and decisions, to create mechanisms and procedures to ensure that Texas RCMAR cores interact to maximum benefit, to work with the Research Education Core (REC) to oversee the solicitation, review and selection of pilot studies for funding. The Administrative Core will establish an Executive Committee headed by Dr. Markides and consisting of Dr. R. Wong, leader of the REC, Dr. Y.F. Kuo, leader of the Analysis Core, Dr. K. Peek, Vice Chair of Education in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health, Dr. E. Volpi, Director of the UTMB Sealy Center on Aging and the UTMB Claude Pepper Older Americans Independence Center, A.R. Brasier, Director of UTMB's Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), and J. Angel, Professor of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, and Director of the Annual International Conference on Aging in the Americas. The Administrative Core will also recruit an External Advisory Panel consisting of at least five members. The Administrative Core will assure that the Texas RCMAR interacts with other University of Texas Medical Branch NIH-funded centers including the UTMB Claude Pepper Independence Center, the UTMB Clinical and Translational Science Award, and the National Archive for Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA) at the University of Michigan.
