Core A: Administrative Core

项目摘要(见说明)：行政核心负责确定俄勒冈州立大学SRP的使命，确保在SRP内外清楚地传达实现这一使命的途径，为我们的调查人员提供实现这些目标的必要工具，制定满足利益相关者需求的长期愿景，并填补做出最明智的监管决策所需的科学空白。我们的核心继续具有创新性和参与性。我们的组织在SRP中是独一无二的，因为我们雇用了一个由主要管理人员组成的内部咨询委员会(LAC)，设立了研究协调员职位，并与国家实验室建立了合作伙伴关系。法援会在获得强有力的机构支助方面发挥了重要作用，研究协调员被证明是项目和核心之间强有力的渠道，起到了“催化剂”的作用。由于行政核心人员在管理多学科、多调查员的校外项目和机构中心方面的长期历史，我们能够作为一个新的SRP“迅速启动”。到目前为止，我们成功的一个关键组成部分是我们积极参与的外部咨询委员会(EAC)，该委员会在我们获得资金之前两年成立。选管会积极参与我们最初的建议，在这段资助期内履行我们的使命，并发展我们对这项竞争性更新的愿景。随着我们的前进，我们的领导团队提高了我们的愿景，结果取消了一个项目，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集团是一个机构中心，它提高了我们的知名度，确保了集中的资金支持，并规定了对这笔赠款产生的相当大一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等事件做出快速反应。我们现在定位为多环芳烃(PAHs)领域的领先者。多环芳烃不仅在超级基金网站上发现，而且往往是风险评估和补救的主要驱动力。我们继续开发研究多环芳烃的新技术和创新方法。在我们履行NIEHS-SRP使命时，行政核心不仅是管理者，而且是指南。

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.
