Core A - Administrative Program Enrichment Core

项目摘要--行政计划充实核心 UAB Nathan Shock Center(NSC)将能量综合评估作为其研究重点 细胞器、细胞和组织水平的摄取和使用(比较线粒体健康评估 核心)到整个生物体(比较组织能量学核心)，因为它与衰老和晚年健康有关 在物种的多样性中。这些不同层面的调查结果通过我们的比较数据进行分析和整合 分析核心。比较能量学是所谓的“老年科学”的基石。 研究基本衰老过程与晚年疾病之间的相互作用。行政部门 计划充实核心(管理核心)是UAB NSC AS的监督、管理和推广部门 一个完整的。在史蒂文·奥斯塔德博士和托马斯·布福德博士的领导下，管理核心将继续 管理、协调、宣传和整合中心的各种活动。它还将负责 促进与其他冲击中心、内森冲击中心协调中心和 国家老龄研究所(NIA)的相关工作人员。与内部和外部咨询机构协商 委员会，行政核心将发布关于每个核心的业绩和关于 国家安全委员会的整体表现，并将在必要时作出方案上的改变。这一核心也将是 负责促进UAB基础衰老研究的组织单位，区域和国家，寻求 特别是吸引相关学科的实习生和早期职业研究人员进入老年学研究。

Project Summary – Administrative Program Enrichment Core The UAB Nathan Shock Center (NSC) has as its research focus the comprehensive assessment of energy intake and use from the level of organelles, cells, and tissues (Comparative Mitochondrial Health Assessment Core) to whole organisms (Comparative Organismal Energetics Core) as it relates to aging and later-life health in a diversity of species. Findings at these various levels are analyzed and integrated by our Comparative Data Analytics Core. Comparative energetics is a cornerstone of what has come to be called “geroscience,” the study of interactions between fundamental aging processes and maladies of later life. The Administrative Program Enrichment Core (Admin Core) is the oversight, administrative, and outreach arm of the UAB NSC as a whole. Under the leadership of Drs. Steven Austad and Thomas Buford, the Admin Core will continue to manage, coordinate, publicize, and integrate the diverse activities of the Center. It also will be responsible for facilitating interactions with the other Shock Centers, the Nathan Shock Centers Coordinating Center, and relevant National Institute on Aging (NIA) staff. In consultation with the Internal and External Advisory Committees, the Admin Core will issue annual evaluations and reports on each Core's performance and on the performance of the NSC overall and will make programmatic changes as warranted. This Core also will be the organizational unit responsible for promoting basic aging research at UAB, regionally, and nationally, seeking particularly to attract trainees and early career researchers from allied disciplines into geroscience research.
