Core--Coordination

协调核心有5个职能：1。为项目1至4的调查人员提供结构并促进他们之间的沟通。这种沟通将在与个别项目负责人及其工作人员的每周会议以及与整个计划项目调查人员的季度会议上进行。这些会议的目的是向调查人员通报个别项目的进展情况，并评估工作的技术或组织方面可能出现的问题。2.患者招募。研究协调员将是管理核心团队的成员，并将直接与俄亥俄州州立大学和合作中心的风湿病学家和肾病学家合作，以协助他们识别和招募研究患者。3.将从项目4获得的患者样本分发至各项目实验室。研究协调员将与项目4的研究助理合作，确保在适当的保存条件下及时交付血液和尿液标本。在将血液样本运送到各个项目实验室之前，血液样本的初步分离也将由该小组完成。4.数据管理和数据分析。核心功能的这一方面是在Nagaraja博士的指导下，与Lin博士和Gassman博士合作。5.协调内部审查委员会对项目进度的定期评估。内部审查委员会由俄亥俄州州立大学医学院的5名杰出科学家组成。他们的身份、特殊兴趣和在计划项目中的角色在核心部分中进行了描述。内部审查委员会应帮助保持程序项目的严格性和适当的进度。
