Leadership & Administrative Core

摘要 领导和行政核心（LAC）将监督日常运营 西北老年美国人独立中心（OAIC） 履行其使命，产生新的研究，以提高质量， 生活和独立的老年人与多种慢性疾病。 LAC将协调所有OAIC的活动（又称“胡椒中心”）核心： 研究教育（REC），试点/探索性研究（PESC），资源 （设计、测量、分析）、信息传播（IDC）以及 作为连接多个医疗保健系统、社区、政府、学术、 和行业合作伙伴。行政上位于西北大学的中心， 应用健康研究老龄化（CAHRA），我们提出的OAIC将强烈 由医学系，公共卫生和医学研究所（IPHAM）和西北大学的支持 大学临床和转化科学研究所（NUCATS）。一个外部咨询委员会将召开双边会议， 每年审查我们的新胡椒中心的进展，并提供客观的反馈，我们如何可以 进一步扩大我们的影响。我们还有意将LAC + IDC联系起来。拉加经委会的具体目标是： 目标1建立西北胡椒中心，推进创新的应用研究议程 重点是改善老年MCC患者的初级保健。 目标2扩大西北胡椒中心的合作者网络，并激励新的研究和 教育机会，以解决与MCC的初级保健模式有关的当前问题。 目的3持续监测和综合评价西北辣椒中心活动及其影响因素， 向既定目标迈进。 LAC将管理日常运营和外部通信，并挑战西北胡椒中心 教师考虑如何最好地服务于国家OAIC网络，以独特的贡献，有关科学， 老年医学知情的，初级保健管理的老年人与MCC，以改善功能和独立性。 为了做到这一点，LAC的教职员工将定期鼓励其核心相互合作，并找到新的， 以创新的方式，与许多参与者、附属机构和非政府组织建立伙伴关系， 外部合作伙伴、其他OAIC和老龄化中心。拉加经委会将与国际数据中心合作，继续促进和 传播中心的研究成果及其提供的服务，并负责定期监测和报告 关于西北大学的OAIC朝着明确定义和可衡量的胡椒中心目标的进展。

ABSTRACT The Leadership & Administrative Core (LAC) will oversee daily operations of the Northwestern Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC), implementing its mission to generate novel research to improve quality of life and independence for older adults with multiple chronic conditions. The LAC will coordinate activities across all OAIC (a.k.a. `Pepper Center') Cores: Research Education (REC), Pilot/Exploratory Studies (PESC), Resources (Design, Measurement, Analytics), Information Dissemination (IDC), as well as bridge to multiple healthcare systems, community, government, academic, and industry partners. Administratively based within Northwestern's Center for Applied Health Research on Aging (CAHRA), our proposed OAIC will be strongly supported by the Department of Medicine, Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM) and Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute. An External Advisory Board will convene bi- annually to review the progress of our new Pepper Center and provide objective feedback on how we might further expand our impact. We have also intentionally linked the LAC + IDC. The LAC specific aims are to: Aim 1 Establish the Northwestern Pepper Center and advance an innovative, applied research agenda focused on improving primary care for older adults with MCC. Aim 2 Expand the Northwestern Pepper Center network of collaborators, and stimulate new research and education opportunities to address current issues related to primary care models for MCC. Aim 3 Continually monitor and comprehensively evaluate Northwestern Pepper Center activities and its progress towards established goals. The LAC will manage daily operations and external communications, and challenge Northwestern Pepper Center faculty to consider how best to serve the national OAIC Network to uniquely contribute to the science related to geriatrics-informed, primary care management of older adults with MCC to improve function and independence. To do this, LAC faculty and staff will regularly encourage its Cores to collaborate with one another and find new, innovative ways to leverage their expertise and functions in partnerships with the many involved, affiliated external partners, other OAICs, and aging centers. Working with the IDC, the LAC will continually promote and disseminate Center research and its available services, and be responsible for routinely monitoring and reporting on Northwestern's OAIC progress towards clearly defined and measurable Pepper Center goals.
