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。该计划汇集了生物医学和非生物医学研究人员，以研究被有害物质污染的细颗粒和超细颗粒对人类健康的影响。行政核心的职能是为项目提供总体领导并管理资源。AC将为项目提供整体项目管理、申办者接口、管理、记录保存和预算管理功能。它还将协调 该中心负责研究项目、研究支持核心和非技术核心的职能，并监督各核心之间的样本转移，以确保研究工作的效率。核心人员包括：1）项目PI主任，巴里德林杰博士; 2）生物医学研究副主任和联合主任。韦恩巴克斯博士，3）助理主任，莫德沃尔什博士，和4）行政助理，蒂娜布莱克女士。此外，Jerry Steward先生是QA/QC和健康与安全官员， 直接交给德林杰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Co-PI提供第三方建议。每两周举行一次的项目负责人员工会议和每月举行一次的项目会议促进了项目内的沟通。项目负责人会议将关注该计划的业务方面以及关键研究结果和问题的沟通。每月计划会议，这是开放给所有高级程序人员，博士后研究员和研究生，将重点放在研究进展，通过轮流研讨会和问题/讨论/回答会议。在季度的基础上，每月的计划会议也将被用来通报和更新高级计划人员对当前的财政和资源事项的计划。在咨询委员会的帮助下，AC将努力为该计划确定和寻求额外的资金来源。

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.
