Scientific Leadership, Communications, and Administrative Core

核心A的目标是提供支持未来工作的管理能力，最大化 到目前为止所做的投资和创造新的机会。我们原奖项的续展(TTURC-2) _TURC-1)需要持续：(A)具有明确的跨学科(TD)远景的积极的科学领导；(B) 有效的行政基础设施；(C)强有力的通信支助；(D)吸引一批选定的 新的调查人员将加入现有的科学家团队。我们的TTURC-1现在是TD的地区性“孵化器” 拥有数量庞大的TD科学家和强大的TD文化的科学。伴随着这一“智力资本”的是一个富有的 来自我们独特的第三代Nef队列的不断增长的数据库和样本样本库，以及蓬勃发展的 面向未来TD科学家的职业发展/培训网站。 TFURC-2指出了一个更加丰富的数据库，还有巨大的“增值”潜力有待实现。 从TTURC-1中吸取的经验教训现在也已被纳入将使TTURC-2受益的改进中。 TTURC-2的三个主要目标如下： A.1.提供科学的领导和视野来指导TD概念合成；保持智力 TTL_C-1聚集的资本；吸引和整合新的文化；确保跨学科和跨机构 合作；提供外部顾问的监督；明智地分配机构匹配资金。 A.2 和TTURC-2的信息交流；并加强促进TD科学和生产力的进程。 A.3.为TTURC-2提供行政、财政和后勤管理工具，以实现其规定的目标。 最终，核心A致力于提供维持和提升运输署文化的基础设施 已经到位，并有助于有效执行TTURC-2中提议的研究。

The goal of CORE A is to provide the stewardship to support future work, maximizing the return on the investments made to date and creating new opportunities. The renewal (TTURC-2) of our original award _TURC-1) requires continued: (a) proactive scientific leadership with a clear transdisciplinary (TD) vision; (b) effective administrative infrastructure; (c) strong communications support; and (d) attraction of a select group of new investigators to add to the existing team of scientists. Our TTURC-1 is now a regional "incubator" for TD science with a critical mass of TD scientists and a strong TD culture. Along with this "intellectual capital" is a rich and growing data-base and specimen sample repository from our unique 3 generation NEFS cohort, and a thriving career development / training site for future TD scientists. TFURC-2 points to an even more enriched data-base with enormous "value-added" potential still to be realized. Lessons learned from TTURC-1 have also now been incorporated in improvements that will benefit TTURC-2. The three primary aims of TTURC-2 are as follows: A.1. Provide the scientific leadership and the vision to guide TD conceptual syalthesis; maintain the intellectual capital amassed in TTL_C-1; attract and integrate new thculty; ensure cross-discipline and cross institution collaborations; provide oversight from external advisors; and allocate institutional matching funds wisely. A.2__M__a.intain and enhance internal and external communications resources to increase the visibility, credibility and information exchange of TTURC-2; and to enhance the processes that nurture TD science and productivity. A.3. Provide the administrative, fiscal and logistical management tools for TTURC-2 to achieve its stated aims. Ultimately, Core A is dedicated to providing the infrastructure for maintaining and enhancing the TD culture already in place and to the efficient execution of the research proposed in TTURC-2.
