项目摘要：领导力和行政核心（LAC） UCSF OAIC的主题是“预测，结果和改善晚年残疾：重点是 弱势群体”。我们致力于更好地理解和解决晚年残疾问题， 脆弱人群-由于医疗脆弱性（如癌症合并肺部疾病）而脆弱 疾病和认知障碍）或社会脆弱性（如孤立或无家可归）。 在我们的第一个周期，UCSF OAIC领导人开发了一个充满活力和协作中心， 在我们的专题领域为科学和研究人员的发展做出了重要贡献。在我们的第二个周期，我们将 建立在我们正在改变老龄化模式和改善临床护理的工作基础上。我们将促进招生 和保留弱势老年人的研究，在创新使用国家 数据资源，促进跨学科的老龄化科学，并为国家 OAIC社区。 拉丁美洲和加勒比将成为协调OAIC核心和维持协作的粘合剂。法援会的工作重点是 研究生产力的有形指标：在高影响力期刊上的出版物和新的NIH基金。 为了实现这些目标，我们将重点关注九个具体目标。它们使该中心能够出色地完成其使命， 培养优秀的研究人员，支持最高质量的科学研究。我们的目标还包括： 与UCSF的其他项目合作，如我们的CTSI，RCMAR和ADRC。法援会设有 具体目标： 1.提供跨OAIC核心的协调，确保核心协同工作。 2.提供UCSF OAIC的日常管理，包括管理行政任务，如 年度进展报告和与OAIC协调中心的沟通。 3.管理财务事项，审查核心资源的使用情况，并作出重新分配决定。 4.领导外联工作，将OAIC与其他UCSF中心和国家OAIC网络联系起来。 5.评估核心资源新用途的科学机会，并为这种用途作出规划， 特别考虑临床研究、实践和政策之间的转换机会。 6.评估和规划UCSF OAIC核心之间以及与其他OAIC的合作领域。 7.征求，审查，并与这些核心合作的REC奖和PESC项目的建议资金。 8.组织UCSF OAIC咨询和审查小组的活动。 9.监控核心业务的进展并实施必要的补救措施。 LAC领导人Covinsky博士和LAC联合领导人Steinman博士将培养一种使命驱动的文化， 卓越，成就，智力慷慨和协作，推动UCSF OAIC团队支持 研究转化为更好的照顾和脆弱的老年人。

Project Summary: Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) The theme of the UCSF OAIC is “Predictors, Outcomes, and Amelioration of Late-life Disability: A Focus on Vulnerable Populations.” We are dedicated to better understanding and addressing late-life disability in vulnerable populations – vulnerable due to either medical vulnerabilities (such as cancer with comorbid lung disease and cognitive impairment) or to social vulnerabilities (such as isolation or homelessness). During our first cycle, the UCSF OAIC leaders developed a dynamic and collaborative center that has made key contributions to science and investigator development in our thematic niche. In our second cycle, we will build on our work that is shifting paradigms in aging, and improving clinical care. We will facilitate enrollment and retention of vulnerable elders into research studies, break new ground in the innovative use of national data resources, promote aging sciences across a wide range of disciplines, and contribute to the national OAIC community. The LAC will be the glue that coordinates the OAIC cores and maintains collaboration. The LAC will focus on tangible metrics of research productivity: publications in high impact journals and new NIH funding. To achieve these goals, we will focus on nine specific aims. They allow the Center to excel in its mission of developing superb investigators and supporting the highest-quality science. Our aims also focus on building partnerships with other programs at UCSF such as our CTSI, RCMAR, and ADRC. The LAC has the following Specific Aims: 1. To provide coordination across OAIC cores, assuring that cores work together collaboratively. 2. To provide day-to-day management of the UCSF OAIC, including managing administrative tasks such as the annual progress report and communications with the OAIC coordinating center. 3. To manage fiscal matters, review use of Core resources, and make reallocation decisions. 4. To lead outreach efforts, linking the OAIC with other UCSF centers and the national OAIC network. 5. To assess scientific opportunities for new uses of Core resources, and to plan for such uses, with special consideration of opportunities for translation between clinical research, practice and policy. 6. To assess and plan areas of collaboration among UCSF OAIC Cores and with other OAICs. 7. To solicit, review, and fund proposals for REC awards and PESC projects in collaboration with those cores. 8. To organize activities of the UCSF OAIC advisory and review panels. 9. To monitor Core progress and implement necessary remediation. The LAC leader, Dr. Covinsky, and LAC co-leader, Dr. Steinman, will foster a mission driven culture of excellence, achievement, intellectual generosity, and collaboration, pushing the UCSF OAIC team to support research that translates into better care and for vulnerable older adults.
