Administrative Core

马拉维ICEMR将由两个办公室管理：一个在密歇根州立大学，另一个在研究活动中心，马拉维布兰太尔的马拉维大学医学院。Terrie Taylor博士是马拉维ICEMR的首席研究员，是行政核心领导人。她在马拉维（1月至6月）和密歇根州（7月至12月）之间分配时间。密歇根州立大学办公室由三人组成，将负责总体财务管理和国际旅行安排。布兰太尔办事处（5名雇员）将监督马拉维的95名ICEMR成员（78名居民，17名访问时间长短不一）。行政核心的主要目标是促进马拉维ICEMR进行的研究，根据需要使用特定的流程和程序来管理多学科，多地点的奋进。一个重要的次要目标是提高马拉维大学医学院的赠款管理能力。一个新的特点是，ICEMR将有助于为游客到布兰太尔的两个招待所的运行成本。这种安排比使用旅馆和餐馆更具成本效益，并可加强ICEMR内部的“团队建设”。 马拉维ICEMR内部的交流将基于其网站。网站的部分内容将 可供公众使用;其他层（包含数据和内部通信）将受到密码限制。 所有ICEMR会议都将由该核心协调;这些会议包括两周一次的指导会议， 委员会会议、季度科学会议和科学咨询小组年度会议。 ICEMR的培训活动也将由行政核心协调，其中包括在布兰太尔的一对一辅导、讲座、短期课程和讲习班，以及ICEMR工作人员的海外培训机会。马拉维ICEMR将通过行政核心提供两个职业发展奖学金。最后，行政核心将监督科学咨询小组的选择和支持，并将负责协调该计划七年中的一年ICEMR计划研讨会。

The Malawi ICEMR will be administered from two offices: one at Michigan State University, and the other at the center of the research activities, the University of Malawi College of Medicine in Blantyre, Malawi. Dr. Terrie Taylor, the Principal Investigator for the Malawi ICEMR, is the Administrative Core Leader. She divides her time between Malawi (Jan-June) and Michigan (July-Dec). The Michigan State University office, comprised of three individuals, will be responsible for the overall fiscal management and international travel arrangements. The Blantyre office (five employees) will provide oversight for the 95 ICEMR members in Malawi (78 residents, 17 visiting for various lengths of time). The primary goal of the Administrative Core is to facilitate the research undertaken by the Malawi ICEMR, using specific processes and procedures as needed to administer a multidisciplinary, multi-site endeavor. An important secondary goal is to enhance the grants management capacity in the University of Malawi College of Medicine. A novel feature is that the ICEMR will contribute to the running costs of two guest houses for visitors to Blantyre. This arrangement is more cost-effective than utilizing hotels and restaurants, and may enhance "team building" within the ICEMR. Communication within the Malawi ICEMR will be based on its website. Portions of the website will be available to the public; other layers (containing data and internal communications) will be passwordrestricted. All of the ICEMR meetings will be coordinated by this Core; these consist of bi-weekly Steering Committee meetings, quarterly scientific meetings, and the annual meeting of the Scientific Advisory Group. Training activities of the ICEMR will also be coordinated by the Administrative Core, and these include oneon-one mentoring, lectures, short courses and workshops in Blantyre, and overseas training opportunities for ICEMR staff. Two Career Development Fellowships will be offered by the Malawi ICEMR through the Administrative Core. Finally, the Administrative Core will oversee the selection and support ofthe Scientific Advisory Group, and will be responsible for coordinating the annual ICEMR Program Workshop in one of the seven years of the program.
