UAB的营养肥胖研究中心(NORC)将降低肥胖率作为其长期使命 并通过发展知识和开发创新的解决方案来改善人类的健康和福祉 通过协作和跨学科研究，研究营养与肥胖。我们通过支持和发展来做到这一点 我们机构活跃的、资助的营养和肥胖研究人员基础，并促进他们的 有能力进行最严谨和最有洞察力的研究。行政核心用来召集 这个研究调查人员的基础，通过招募新的研究人员进入营养和营养领域来帮助发展它 来自UAB内外的肥胖，并培训下一代营养和肥胖研究 科学家。我们也支持科学界对墙外的营养和肥胖研究感兴趣 通过我们的充实计划，包括正式的国家短期课程计划和其他 在我们的NIDDK NORC P30之外，由额外筹集的资金支持的产品。 行政核心负责认真管理NORC的所有要素，包括 监督核心；与成员的互动和成员的增长；宣布、选择和 管理试点和可行性赠款；实施我们的培训和教育方案； 用我们的临床元素促进增长；加强与NIH和UAB管理部门的沟通； 促进与其他国家海洋资源中心的互动；不断更新国家海洋资源中心的网站；财政管理； 召集、征求和适应NORC内部和外部咨询委员会的反馈意见；以及 最后，确保及时履行所有行政和监管义务。 行政核心勤奋主动地工作，不仅满足上述目标，而且创造和 创造条件，使我们的研究人员能够最大限度地高效、轻松、 和严谨，同时也激励我们现在和未来的调查人员进行更具创造性和更有影响力的 营养与肥胖的研究。

UAB’s Nutrition Obesity Research Center (NORC) has as its long-range mission to reduce the rates of obesity and improve human health and well-being by advancing knowledge and developing innovative solutions for nutrition and obesity through collaborative and interdisciplinary research. We do this by supporting and growing an investigator base of active, funded nutrition and obesity researchers at our institution and facilitating their ability to conduct the most rigorous and insightful research possible. The Administrative Core serves to convene this base of research investigators, to help to grow it by recruiting new investigators into the field of nutrition and obesity from both within and beyond UAB, and to train the next generation of nutrition and obesity research scientists. We also support the scientific community interested in nutrition and obesity research beyond the walls of our institution through our Enrichment Program, including a formal program of national short courses and other offerings supported by additional funds raised beyond those of our NIDDK NORC P30. The Administrative Core takes responsibility for the careful management of all elements of the NORC, including oversight of the cores; interactions with and growth of the membership; announcement, selection, and administration of the Pilot and Feasibility grants; implementation of our training and education programs; fostering growth with our clinical element; strengthening communications with NIH and UAB’s administration; facilitating interactions with other NORCs; continually updating the NORC’s website; fiscal management; convening, soliciting, and adapting to feedback from the NORC internal and external advisory committees; and finally, ensuring the timely execution of all administrative and regulatory obligations. The Administrative Core works diligently and proactively to not only meet the objectives above but create and foster the conditions that allow our investigators to pursue their scientific ideas with maximal efficiency, ease, and rigor, while also inspiring our current and future investigators to conduct ever more creative and impactful research on nutrition and obesity.
