Core A: Administrative Core

行政核心(AC)的目标是通过为该计划提供支持服务和领导来促进创新研究。拟议的计划将生物医学和非生物医学研究人员聚集在一起，检查被危险物质污染的细颗粒物和超细颗粒物对人类健康的影响。管理核心的职能是为计划提供最重要的领导并管理资源。AC将为项目提供全面的项目管理、赞助商界面、管理、记录保存和预算管理功能。它还将协调 研究项目、研究支持核心和非技术核心的职能，并监督核心之间的样本转移，以确保研究工作的效率。核心工作人员包括：1)一名项目主任，巴里·德林格博士；2)一名生物医学研究副主任和联席主任。韦恩·贝克斯博士，3)助理主任莫德·沃尔什博士，以及4)行政助理蒂娜·布莱克女士。此外，曾傑瑞管家是QA/QC和健康与安全官员，并报告 直接交给德林格医生。外部和内部咨询委员会就项目的管理和技术进展向PI和共同PI提供第三方建议。通过每两周一次的项目负责人员工会议和每月一次的计划会议来促进计划内的沟通。项目负责人会议将关注项目的操作方面，以及关键研究成果和问题的沟通。每月的项目会议向所有高级项目人员、博士后研究员和研究生开放，将通过轮流研讨会和提问/讨论/回答环节集中讨论研究进展。每个季度，每月的方案会议还将用于向高级方案人员通报和更新方案当前的财政和资源事项。咨询委员会将在咨询委员会的帮助下，努力为该计划寻找和寻求更多的资金来源。

The goal of the Administrative Core (AC) is to foster innovative research by providing support services and leadership for the Program. The proposed program brings together biomedical and non-biomedical researchers to examine the human health impacts of fine particles and ultrafine particles contaminated with hazardous substances. The function of the Administrative Core is to provide overarching leadership to the program and manage resources. The AC will provide overall program management, sponsor interface, management, record keeping, and budget administration functions for the program. It will also coordinate the functions of the research projects, research support cores, and non-technical cores and oversee the transfer of samples among cores to ensure efficiency of the research efforts. The core is staffed by: 1) a Director, the program PI, Dr. Barry Dellinger; 2) an Associate Director and co-Director for biomedical research. Dr. Wayne Backes, 3) an Assistant Director, Dr. Maud Walsh, and 4) an Administrative Assistant, Ms. Tina Black. In addition, Mr. Jerry Steward is the QA/QC and Health and Safety Officer and reports directly to Dr. Dellinger. External and internal advisory committees provide third-party advice to the PI and co-PI on the management and technical progress of the program. Communication within the program is facilitated by bi-weekly Project Leader staff meetings and monthly program meetings. The Project Leader meetings will be concerned with operational aspects of the program and communication of key research findings and questions. The monthly program meetings, which are open to all senior program personnel, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students, will focus on research progress through a rotating seminar and question/discussion/answer session. On a quarterly basis, the monthly program meetings will also be used to apprise and update senior program personnel on current fiscal and resource matters for the program. The AC, with the help of the advisory committees, will work to identify and pursue additional funding sources for the program.
