Core A: Administrative Core

项目摘要（见说明）：行政核心负责定义俄勒冈州州立大学SRP的使命，确保追求该使命的路径在SRP内部和外部清楚地传达，为我们的调查人员提供必要的工具来实现这些目标，发展长期-长期愿景，以满足利益相关者的需求，并填补所需的科学空白，使最知情的监管决策成为可能。我们的核心将继续保持创新和参与。我们的组织在SRP中是独一无二的，因为我们聘请了一个由主要管理人员组成的内部咨询委员会（IAC），设立了研究协调员的职位，并与国家实验室建立了伙伴关系。地方咨询委员会在获得强有力的机构支持方面发挥了重要作用，研究协调员证明是项目与核心之间的有力渠道，起到了“催化剂”的作用。由于行政核心工作人员在管理多学科、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“脚踏实地”。迄今为止，我们成功的一个关键组成部分是我们的外部咨询委员会（EAC），该委员会在我们获得资助的两年前成立。选管会积极参与我们的初步提案，在此资助期内追求我们的使命，并为这一竞争性更新制定我们的愿景。随着我们的前进，我们的领导团队已经提高了我们的愿景，导致取消了1个项目，并对另外2个项目进行了实质性重组。俄勒冈州州立大学正式承认我们集团作为一个机构中心，提高了我们的知名度，确保集中的货币支持，并提供了控制的一个显着部分间接资金产生的这笔赠款。这使我们能够在早期开发阶段进行重要投资，并对深水地平线泄漏等事件做出快速反应。我们现在是多环芳烃（PAH）领域的领导者。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。我们继续开发新技术和创新方法来研究多环芳烃。行政核心不仅是管理者，而且是我们追求NIEHS-SRP使命的指南。

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.
