Core A: Administrative Core

项目概述（见说明）：行政核心负责定义俄勒冈州立大学SRP的使命，确保在SRP内部和外部清楚地传达追求使命的路径，为我们的研究人员提供实现这些目标的必要工具，制定长期愿景以满足利益相关者的需求，并填补科学中缺失的空白，以做出最明智的监管决策。我们的核心始终是创新和敬业。我们的组织在srp中是独一无二的，因为我们雇用了一个由关键管理人员组成的内部咨询委员会（lAC），设立了研究协调员的职位，并与国家实验室建立了合作关系。拉加经委会在获得强有力的机构支助方面发挥了作用，研究协调员证明是项目和核心之间的有力渠道，起着“催化剂”的作用。由于行政核心人员在管理多学科、多研究者的校外项目和机构中心方面有着悠久的历史，我们能够作为一个新的SRP“落地运行”。迄今为止，我们成功的一个关键组成部分是我们聘请的外部咨询委员会（EAC），该委员会在我们获得资助的两年前成立。EAC积极参与我们最初的提案，追求我们在融资期间的使命，并为这一竞争更新制定我们的愿景。随着我们的发展，我们的领导团队已经提高了我们的愿景，从而取消了一个项目，并对另外两个项目进行了实质性的重组。俄勒冈州立大学正式承认我们的团队为机构中心，这提高了我们的知名度，确保了集中的资金支持，并提供了对这笔赠款产生的大部分间接资金的控制。这使我们能够在早期开发阶段进行重要投资，并对深水地平线漏油事件等事件做出快速反应。目前，我们在多环芳烃（PAHs）领域处于领先地位。多环芳烃不仅存在于超级基金场地，而且往往是风险评估和补救的主要驱动因素。我们继续开发研究多环芳烃的新技术和创新方法。行政核心不仅是管理者，而且是我们追求NIEHS-SRP使命的向导。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See Instructions): The Administrative Core is responsible for defining the mission of the Oregon State University SRP, ensuring the paths to pursue that mission are clearly communicated within and without the SRP, providing our investigators with necessary tools to achieve those goals, developing a long-term vision to meet stakeholder needs and fill in missing gaps in the science required to make the most informed regulatory decisions possible. Our Core continues to be innovative and engaged. Our organization is unique among SRPs in that we employ an Internal Advisory Committee (lAC) of key administrators, established the position of Research Coordinator and formed a partnership with a National Laboratory. The lAC was instrumental in obtaining strong institutional support and the Research Coordinator proved a powerful conduit between projects and cores, acting as a "catalyst". We were able to "hit the ground running" as a new SRP due to a long history of the Administrative Core staff in managing multi-disciplinary, multi-investigator extramural programs and institutional Centers. A key component of our success to date has been our engaged External Advisory Committee (EAC), formed two years before we were funded. The EAC was active in our initial proposal, pursuit of our mission over this funding period and developing our vision for this competing renewal. As we move forward our leadership team has sharpened our vision resulting in elimination of 1 project and substantial re-organization of 2 others. Oregon State University officially recognized our group as an institutional Center which enhances our visibility, ensures centralized monetary support and provides for control of a significant portion of indirect funds generated by this grant. This has allowed us to make important investments in our early development years and to rapidly respond to events such as the Deepwater Horizon spill. We now are positioned as leaders in the field of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are not only found at Superfund Sites, but often are the main driver for risk assessment and remediation. We continue to develop new technologies and innovative approaches for studying PAHs. The Administrative Core is poised to not just manager but act as a guide as we pursue our NIEHS-SRP mission.
