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。特里·泰勒博士是马拉维ICEMR的首席调查员，是行政核心领导人。她在马拉维(1月至6月)和密歇根(7月至12月)之间奔波。密歇根州立大学办公室由三名个人组成，将负责整体财务管理和国际旅行安排。布兰太尔办事处(5名员工)将对马拉维的95名ICEMR成员(78名居民，17名来访时间长短不一)进行监督。行政核心的主要目标是促进马拉维ICEMR开展的研究，根据需要使用特定的程序和程序来管理多学科、多地点的努力。一个重要的次要目标是加强马拉维大学医学院的赠款管理能力。一个新颖的特点是，ICEMR将为前往布兰太尔的游客支付两家招待所的运营成本。这种安排比利用酒店和餐馆更具成本效益，并可能加强ICEMR内的“团队建设”。 马拉维国际经济、社会和文化权利委员会内部的交流将以其网站为基础。网站的部分内容将是 向公众开放；其他层(包含数据和内部通信)将受到密码限制。 ICEMR的所有会议都将由该核心协调；这些会议包括两周一次的指导 委员会会议、季度科学会议、科学顾问组年会。 ICEMR的培训活动也将由行政核心协调，包括在布兰太尔的一对一指导、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项职业发展研究金。最后，行政核心将监督科学咨询小组的遴选和支持，并将负责协调该方案七年中的一年的年度ICEMR方案讲习班。

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.
