The Administrative Core will use its personnel's expertise to support all four Projects and Cores in the Program. The Core Leader, Dr. Solaro, in conjunction with the Advisory committees, oversees progression of the Projects and Cores. Activities provided by this Core include fiscal management, generating progress reports, scheduling meetings and seminars, and maintaining regular communication with other University Centers and Departments at UIC and Loyola, including the Center for Cardiovascular Research, and consultants for the Program. Budgets for investigator travel, maintenance contracts, consultants, and seminar/workshop programs are centralized in this Core. Kathleen Engstrom, Business Manager and Assistant to Dr. Solaro, oversees fiscal management of the Program, including budget reporting and monitoring of expenditures from the Projects and Cores for travel, maintenance contracts, and the seminar program. She supervises the activities of Ms. Donafi, and other departmental staff, supported by UIC. Staff organizes and prepares progress reports for internal use and reporting to the NIH and to outside consultants. Ms. Gentry also organizes meetings and retreats with project leaders, core leaders, and program research personnel. She also schedules visits with inside and outside consultants, and works with Dr. Solaro on organizing seminars related to the Program. Elyse Donati is responsible for reconciling expenditures and preparing monthly financial reports for all the Projects and Cores. Working with Ms. Engstrom, she meets with the Project and Core directors on a regular basis to review grant expenditures and provide fiscal counseling to ensure all expenditures are appropriate and allowable per federal cost guidelines. The Administrative Core organizes activities if the External and Internal Advisory Committees. The charge of the External Advisory Committee is to provide expert peer review of our program. The following outstanding scientists have agreed to serve on this panel: Dr. James Potter, University of Miami School of Medicine, Dr. Earl Homsher, UCLA School of Medicine, Dr. Dale Abel, University of Utah, and Dr. Carol Gregorio, University of Arizona. Each of these scientists is a world authority in their area expertise. Project Leaders have had long standing interactions with Advisory Committee members, which assures their commitment and participation. Drs. Solaro and Homsher were graduate students together at University of Pittsburgh. Homsher is leading investigator in muscle mechanics and energetics, and is currently applying the single myofibril technique. Drs. Solaro and Potter were faculty members together at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Potter is one of the world leaders in investigation of troponin biochemistry and integrative biology. Dr. Abel is a leading investigator in the area of cardiac metabolism, and will bring his clinical and scientific expertise to the table. Dr. Gregorio has had a long standing common interest and interactions with Dr. Russell and Samarel and with Dr. Solaro, and adds a new dimension to the external review process. As in the past this committee will continue to visit the program on a regular basis. The advisor is given a summary of the projects in advance of the visit, and spends the day meeting with individual project and core directors and with program scientists as a group. We ask for a written report and notes are taken during these meetings. Recommendations of the External Advisory Committee are made to the Program Director and these are shared with the Internal Advisory Committee and with members of the program at their regular meetings. After thorough discussions, a plan of action is outlined, discussed with appropriate members of the team, and implemented. Any action taken as a result of this process will be reported to the NHLBI as a part of the annual progress report. The charge of the Internal Advisory Committee is to advise the Program Director on major policy decisions and recommendations made by the External Advisory Committee. Members of the Committee are Dr. Asrar Malik , Head of Pharmacology, who also directs a Program Project Grant, Dr. Larry Tobacman, Professor of Medicine and Director of the MD/PhD program, Dr. Jack Kaplan, Head of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Genefics, Dr. Scott T. Brady, Head of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Ms. Kathleen Engstrom Assistant to the Head, Department of Physiology and Biophysics (ex-officio). Specific responsibilities of the Internal Advisory Committee include advice on overall scientific program planning, continuing evaluation of ongoing projects, termination of projects, and initiation of new studies. The Committee meets 2-3 times a year to discuss progress, major policy and financial aspects. In the event a Project Leader leaves the University, the Internal Advisory Committee has the responsibility for recommending to the Program Director, an appropriate course of action. If a new Project Leader is recommended, the candidate will submit a proposal for taking over a project. The change in the Project will be subject to t he final approval of Dr. Solaro, who would then request permission for the change from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

行政核心将利用其人员的专业知识支持该计划中的所有四个项目和核心。核心领导人Solaro博士与咨询委员会一起监督项目和核心的进展。该核心提供的活动包括财务管理，生成进度报告，安排会议和研讨会，并与UIC和Loyola的其他大学中心和部门保持定期沟通，包括心血管研究中心和该计划的顾问。研究者差旅、维护合同、顾问和研讨会/讲习班计划的预算集中在本核心预算中。 业务经理兼Solaro博士助理Kathleen Engstrom负责监督该计划的财务管理，包括预算报告和监控项目和核心的差旅、维护合同和研讨会计划支出。她在国际法院研究所的支持下监督Donaldo女士和其他部门工作人员的活动。 工作人员组织和编写进度报告，供内部使用，并向NIH和外部顾问报告。Gentry女士还组织与项目负责人、核心领导人和项目研究人员的会议和务虚会。她还安排与内部和外部顾问的访问，并与Solaro博士合作组织与该计划有关的研讨会。 Elyse Donati负责核对所有项目和核心的支出并编制月度财务报告。她与Engstrom女士合作，定期与项目和核心主任会面，审查赠款支出，并提供财政咨询，以确保所有支出都是适当的，并根据联邦成本准则允许。 行政核心组织外部和内部咨询委员会的活动。外部咨询委员会的职责是为我们的项目提供专家同行评审。以下杰出的科学家已同意担任该小组成员：迈阿密大学医学院的James Potter博士、加州大学洛杉矶分校医学院的Earl Homsher博士、犹他州大学的Dale Abel博士和亚利桑那大学的Carol Gregorio博士。这些科学家中的每一位都是其专业领域的世界权威。项目 领导人与咨询委员会成员进行了长期的互动，这确保了他们的承诺和参与。Solaro博士和Homsher博士是匹兹堡大学的研究生。Homsher是肌肉力学和能量学的主要研究者，目前正在应用单肌原纤维技术。索拉罗博士和波特博士都是辛辛那提大学的教员。Potter博士是肌钙蛋白生物化学和综合生物学研究的世界领导者之一。Abel博士是心脏代谢领域的领先研究者，将把他的临床和科学专业知识带到桌面上。Gregorio博士与Russell博士、Samarel博士和Solaro博士有着长期的共同兴趣和互动，并为外部审查过程增加了一个新的维度。与过去一样，该委员会将继续定期访问该方案。在访问之前，顾问会得到一份项目摘要，并花一天的时间与单个项目和核心主任以及项目科学家进行会面。我们要求在这些会议期间提出书面报告并作记录。外部咨询委员会向项目主任提出建议，并在定期会议上与内部咨询委员会和项目成员分享这些建议。经过充分讨论后，制定行动计划，与团队的适当成员讨论并实施。作为这一进程的结果而采取的任何行动都将作为年度进展报告的一部分向NHLBI报告。 内部咨询委员会的职责是就外部咨询委员会作出的重大政策决定和建议向方案主任提供咨询意见。委员会成员包括药理学负责人Asrar Malik博士，他还负责项目资助，医学教授兼MD/PhD项目主任Larry Tobacman博士，生物化学和分子遗传学负责人Jack Kaplan博士，Scott T.布雷迪，解剖学和细胞生物学系主任，Kathleen Engstrom女士，生理学和生物物理学系主任助理（当然成员）。内部咨询委员会的具体职责包括就总体科学计划规划、持续评估正在进行的项目、终止项目和启动新研究提供建议。委员会每年举行2至3次会议，讨论进展情况、主要政策和财务问题。如果项目负责人离开大学，内部咨询委员会有责任向项目主任建议适当的行动方案。如果推荐了新的项目负责人，候选人将提交接管项目的建议书。项目的变更将得到Solaro博士的最终批准，然后Solaro博士将向国家心肺血液研究所申请变更许可。
