Administrative Core

项目摘要/摘要：底特律是美国100个城市中早产率最高的城市， 出生次数和挥发性有机化学物质是潜在的致病因素，可能部分是由于它们的 从超级基金地点迁移到人类可能接触的地点。领导力中心 环境意识和研究（CLEAR）致力于了解和减轻这一严重的 环境健康问题，以及与我们的社区，政府机构和其他 利益攸关方应提高对这一问题的认识，培养一批多样化的领导人来缓解这一问题。 CLEAR行政核心是一个综合中心，提供经验丰富的领导，业务 管理，中心研究项目和核心之间的沟通和协调结构， 向利益相关者提供研究成果的过程，以及评估和调整中心的机制 减少挥发性有机化合物对公众和环境健康影响的活动。在Aim中 1，行政核心，共同领导的梅丽莎Runge-Morris，医学博士和卡罗尔米勒，博士，体育，将协调 通过提供强有力的领导，管理中心业务， 通过每月会议向项目和核心领导人传达CLEAR业务活动 内部咨询委员会，与外部咨询委员会协调一年两次的会议， 定期与大学领导沟通，以确保强有力的机构支持，并沟通 定期与SRP工作人员一起报告进展情况，并确保CLEAR与SRP使命保持良好的一致性。 在目标2中，行政核心将促进CLEAR项目和核心之间的跨学科互动 通过每月内部咨询委员会会议、每周系列研讨会、每季度半天 “进步脉动”讲习班和年度专题研讨会。在目标3中，行政核心将 通过一个有成就的团队完成研究翻译，该团队具有环境方面的独特专业知识 司法通信，环境和公共卫生法，以用户为中心的信息设计， 通信和经济影响分析，谁将传播有关CLEAR研究的信息 向内部和外部利益相关者，包括学者，SRP工作人员， 政策制定者和政府行为者、社区伙伴和技术开发伙伴， 有针对性的传播战略，包括出版、媒体传播、数字平台、政策 论文、年度报告、简报会、社区艺术展览和专题讨论会。目标4致力于中心 自我评估，并将包括实施“运营和战略仪表板”，以可视化指标 根据中心的目标进行绩效评估，从而提供一种客观的手段来调整战略与战术， 确保目标驱动和基于性能的数据文化，并鼓励在整个过程中进行交互和分析 中心的所有组成部分

Project Summary/Abstract: Detroit has the highest preterm birth rate of the 100 US cities with the greatest number of births, and volatile organic chemicals are potential etiologic factors, likely due in part to their migration from Superfund sites to locations where human exposures can occur. The Center for Leadership in Environmental Awareness and Research (CLEAR) is dedicated to understanding and mitigating this serious environmental health problem, as well as working with our community, government agencies, and other stakeholders to increase awareness about this problem and cultivate a diverse cohort of leaders to mitigate it. The CLEAR Administrative Core is the integrative hub that provides experienced leadership, business management, structures for communication and coordination among Center research projects and cores, processes for research translation to stakeholders, and mechanisms for evaluation and adjustment of Center activities to reduce the impacts of volatile organic compounds on both public and environmental health. In Aim 1, the Administrative Core, co-led by Melissa Runge-Morris, MD, and Carol Miller, PhD, PE, will coordinate essential centralized operational activities by providing strong leadership, managing Center business operations, communicating CLEAR operational activities to project and core leaders through monthly meetings of the Internal Advisory Committee, coordinating biannual meetings with the External Advisory Committee, communicating regularly with University leadership to ensure strong institutional support, and communicating regularly with SRP staff to report progress and ensure that CLEAR remains well-aligned with the SRP mission. In Aim 2, the Administrative Core will facilitate interdisciplinary interactions among CLEAR projects and cores through its monthly Internal Advisory Committee meetings, a weekly seminar series, quarterly half-day “progress-pulse” workshops, and an annual thematic symposium. In Aim 3, the Administrative Core will accomplish research translation via an accomplished team with a unique blend of expertise in environmental justice communication, environmental and public health law, user-centered information design and communications, and economic impact analysis, who will disseminate information about CLEAR research advances and program events to internal and external stakeholders that include academics, SRP staff, policymakers and government actors, community partners, and technology development partners, using a targeted communication strategy that includes publication, media dissemination, digital platforms, policy papers, annual reports, briefing sessions, community art exhibits, and symposia. Aim 4 is devoted to Center self-evaluation and will include implementation of “Operational and Strategic Dashboards” to visualize metrics of performance against the Center’s goals, thereby providing an objective means to align strategy with tactics, ensure a goal-driven and performance-based data culture, and encourage interactivity and analysis throughout all components of the Center
