Core A: Administrative Core

摘要 行政核心（核心A）有四个目标：1）提供管理、整合和监督， P01活动，促进研究者之间的沟通和协作，分发研究成果， 香烟的所有项目和生物标志物和烟草成分的核心，并建立一个数据 安全性和监查委员会（DSMB）负责监查受试者的安全性。这一目标将由博士促进。 Dorothy Hatsukami和Peter Shields，行政团队和指导委员会由以下人员组成： 项目和核心领导人; 2）建立烟草产品评估委员会（TPEC），由 博士希尔兹和米卡·伯曼先生，这将提供一个机制，讨论如何从我们的结果 研究是相互关联的，有助于了解潜在的公共卫生影响， 禁止香烟过滤嘴通风; 3）建立和管理科学和政策咨询 委员会（SPAC），由Jonathan Samet博士担任主席，为评估我们的 科学生产力、重要性和质量，以及解决意外问题的资源; 4)建立和管理一个通信和传播委员会（CDC），由博士主持。 Richard奥康纳和Hatsukami，他们将把我们的发现传播给研究人员，监管机构 及公众该核心提供的基础设施将确保最佳协作、项目 整合、质量和影响。

ABSTRACT The Administrative Core (Core A) has four aims: 1) to provide management, integration and oversight of the P01 activities, facilitate communication and collaboration among the investigators, distribute research cigarettes to all projects and the Biomarker and Tobacco Constituents Core, and to establish a Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) to monitor participant safety. This aim will be facilitated by Drs. Dorothy Hatsukami and Peter Shields, the administrative team and the Steering Committee comprised of Project and Core Leaders; 2) to establish a Tobacco Product Evaluation Committee (TPEC), chaired by Dr. Shields and Mr. Micah Berman, that will provide a mechanism for discussing how the results from our studies are interrelated and contribute to the understanding of the potential public health impact of banning ventilation in cigarette filters; 3) to establish and manage a Scientific and Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC), chaired by Dr. Jonathan Samet, to provide a mechanism for the evaluation of our scientific productivity, significance and quality, and a resource for addressing unanticipated issues; and, 4) to establish and manage a Communications and Dissemination Committee (CDC), chaired by Drs. Richard O'Connor and Hatsukami, that will disseminate our findings to researchers, regulatory agencies and the public. The infrastructure provided by this Core will ensure optimal collaboration, project integration, and quality and impact of our results.
