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来支持该计划中的所有四个项目和核心。核心领导Solaro博士与咨询委员会一起监督项目和核心的进展。该中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。研究人员差旅、维护合同、顾问和研讨会/研讨会项目的预算集中在这个核心。 业务经理兼Solaro博士助理凯瑟琳·恩斯特罗姆负责监督项目的财务管理，包括预算报告和监督项目和核心的差旅、维护合同和研讨会计划的支出。她在UIC的支持下监督Donafi女士和其他部门工作人员的活动。 工作人员组织和准备进度报告，供内部使用，并向NIH和外部顾问报告。金特里还组织与项目负责人、核心负责人和项目研究人员的会议和务虚会。她还安排了内部和外部顾问的访问，并与索拉罗博士合作组织与该项目相关的研讨会。 Elyse Donati负责核对支出，并为所有项目和核心编制月度财务报告。与恩斯特罗姆女士合作，她定期与项目和核心主管会面，审查赠款支出，并提供财务咨询，以确保所有支出都是适当的，并根据联邦成本指导方针允许。 行政核心负责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。以下杰出科学家已同意担任小组成员：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各自领域的世界权威。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。索拉罗博士和霍姆舍博士是匹兹堡大学的研究生。Homsher是肌肉力学和能量学领域的首席研究员，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。波特博士是肌钙蛋白生物化学和综合生物学研究的世界领先者之一。阿贝尔博士是心脏代谢领域的领先研究人员，他将把他的临床和科学专业知识带到谈判桌上。格雷戈里奥博士与拉塞尔博士和萨马雷博士以及索拉罗博士有着长期的共同利益和互动，并为外部审查过程增添了一个新的层面。像过去一样，该委员会将继续定期访问该方案。在访问之前，顾问得到了项目的摘要，并花了一天的时间与个别项目和核心主管以及与项目科学家作为一个小组进行会议。我们要求一份书面报告，并在这些会议期间做笔记。外部咨询委员会的建议提交给方案主任，并在定期会议上与内部咨询委员会和方案成员分享。经过彻底的讨论后，制定行动计划，与团队的适当成员讨论并实施。在这一过程中采取的任何行动都将作为年度进展报告的一部分报告给卫生和生活保障倡议。 内部咨询委员会的职责是就外部咨询委员会作出的重大决策和建议向方案主任提供咨询意见。该委员会的成员包括药理学系主任兼项目资助主任Asrar Malik博士、医学教授兼医学/博士项目主任Larry Tobacman博士、生物化学和分子遗传学系主任Jack Kaplan博士、解剖学和细胞生物学系主任Scott T.Brady博士、生理和生物物理系主任助理凯瑟琳·恩斯特罗姆女士(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、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。委员会每年开会2-3次，讨论进展、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方案主任推荐适当的行动方案。如果推荐了新的项目负责人，候选人将提交一份接管项目的提案。该项目的改变将得到Solaro博士的最终批准，然后他将向国家心肺和血液研究所申请改变的许可。
