Administrative Core

项目摘要 行政核心（AC）将协调服务核心（目标1）的活动， 将与当地视觉研究界合作，提供有关 核心活动和现有资源（目标2）。在协调方面，指导委员会 委员会将是确保公平分配资源的重要组成部分， 所提供的服务具有出色的质量。AC还将与 与爱荷华州大学的视觉研究人员一起， 核心利用率，收集关于核心活动的反馈，并确保所提供的选择 随着时间的推移，服务仍然具有相关性和最先进的水平。此外，行政核心将 促进爱荷华州大学视觉研究社区内的培训（目标3）。这将是 通过组织和举办年度培训会议实现， 视觉研究和最先进的视觉研究所需的关键方法。的 专题讨论会将针对学生、博士后受训人员和新的初级教员。 重要的是，在这些流行病时期，AC将有助于保持视力研究实验室 以及在大流行期间富有成效的服务核心（目标4）。为了实现这一目标， 行政核心将监督、提供和协调所有人的COVID-19分子检测 爱荷华州大学的视觉研究实验室人员，包括该服务的工作人员 使实验室保持开放、安全、功能和高效的核心。正在进行的交付 的行政核心目标将允许视觉科学家提高他们的个人和 集体研究计划，从而推动发现，创新， 治疗。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Administrative Core (AC) will coordinate the activities of the Service Cores (Aim 1), and will engage the local vision research community with respect to providing information regarding core activities and available resources (Aim 2). In the coordination role, the Steering Committee will be an essential component in ensuring that resources are fairly allocated, and that the offered services are delivered with outstanding quality. The AC will also communicate with vision researchers at The University of Iowa to keep them informed concerning Service Core utilization, gather feedback on Core activities, and ensure that the selection of offered services remain relevant and state-of-the-art over time. In addition, the Administrative Core will facilitate training within The University of Iowa Vision Research community (Aim 3). This will be achieved by the organization and implementation of an annual training meeting related to vision research and key methodologies needed for state-of-the-art vision research. The symposia will be targeted at students, post-doctoral trainees and new junior faculty. Importantly, in these pandemic times the AC will aid in keeping vision research laboratories and the Service Cores productive during the pandemic (Aim 4). To achieve this, the Administrative Core will oversee, provide, and coordinate COVID-19 molecular testing to all vision research laboratory personnel at The University of Iowa including the staff of the Service Cores enabling laboratories to remain open, safe, functional and efficient. The ongoing delivery of the Administrative Core aims will allow vision scientists to enhance their individual and collective research programs substantially, and thereby drive discoveries, innovation, and treatments.
