THE CENTER OF URBAN RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN DIABETES AND METABOLISM-ADMIN CORE

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。行政和发展核心提供中心组件，教师，资源和项目的协调和整合。它确保了糖尿病和代谢城市研究和教育德鲁中心（CURE-DM）的竞争性更新申请的目标及时实现，科学生产力最大化，中心资源得到最佳利用。它负责监测研究和培训以及社群活动的进展情况。这个核心是负责日常运作，并提供监督和关键活动的实施，如采购，财务，人事，财政规划，预算，战略规划，教师招聘，科学方向，评估和计划规划。它还为初级教师的三个研究项目提供指导，财务和科学支持。另一项职责是征聘一名新征聘的调查员并为其项目提供初步支助。发展部分包括五项主要活动：指导、培训方案、发展计划、项目财政支持和科学指导。 行政和发展核心的具体目标是：1.通过招聘一名新兴的、高生产力的初级研究者来加强机构的临床研究能力，以建立学术生涯; 2.为发展项目提供支持，以激励和更好地准备有前途的初级研究人员，他们坚定地致力于影响弱势群体的临床研究事业; 3.促进教师的发展，通过指导研究项目的支持，通过配对专门的高级研究人员与有前途的初级教师，并通过提供一个基础设施，通过一个咨询委员会的初级教师正式指导; 4.促进教师发展，通过获得培训计划，以加强和提高有前途的青年教师的研究生产力和科学沟通技能;和5。持续评估CURE-DM？的过程和目标，并利用这些评估，使正在进行的计划改进与NCRR计划官员协商。 除了提供持续的管理支持CURE-DM人员和他们的研究活动，进行了以下培训活动：由于招聘教师到洛杉矶地区的困难，由于我们非常高的住房成本，在招聘新教师的努力仅限于那些已经生活在洛杉矶。 行政和发展核心中发生的其他人事变化是聘请护士经理（Blanca Navarro，RN），研究协调员（Boma Briggs），全职行政秘书（Beverly杰克逊），并用Curley Bonds，MD取代精神病学家Karen约翰逊，MD，PhD（离开该机构），以帮助指导Echeverry博士的研究项目。邦德博士的工资部分已被列入研究项目的预算。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Administrative and Development Core provides coordination and integration of the center components, faculty, resources and projects. It ensures that the objectives of this competitive renewal application for the Drew ¿Center of Urban Research and Education in Diabetes and Metabolism¿ (CURE-DM) are achieved in a timely manner, that scientific productivity is maximized, and that center resources are optimally utilized. It is responsible for monitoring of research and training, and the progress of community activities. This core is responsible for the day-to-day operations and provides oversight and implementation of key activities such as procurement, finances, personnel, fiscal planning, budgeting, strategic planning, faculty recruitment, scientific direction, evaluation, and program planning. It also provides mentoring, financial, and scientific support for the three research projects of the junior faculty. An additional responsibility is the recruitment of a new recruited investigator and initial support of his/her project. The development component consists of five major activities: mentorship, a training program, a development plan, project financial support, and scientific guidance. The specific aims of the Administrative and Development Core are to: 1. Enhance institutional clinical research capabilities by recruiting an emerging and highly productive junior investigator positioned to build an academic career; 2. Provide support for developmental projects to stimulate and better prepare promising junior investigators with a strong commitment to issues affecting disadvantaged populations for clinical research careers; 3. Promote faculty development through the support of mentored-research projects by pairing dedicated senior investigators with promising junior faculty and by providing an infrastructure for formal mentoring via an advisory committee for the junior faculty members; 4. Promote faculty development through access to training programs to strengthen and increase the research productivity and scientific communication skills of promising junior faculty; and 5. Continuously evaluate CURE-DM¿s processes and objectives and utilize these assessments to make ongoing programmatic improvements in consultation with NCRR program officials. In addition to providing ongoing administrative support for CURE-DM personnel and their research activities, the following training activities were carried out: Because of the difficulty in recruiting faculty to the Los Angeles area due to our very high housing costs, efforts at recruitment of new faculty were limited to those already living in Los Angeles. Other personnel changes that have occurred in the Administrative and Development Core is the hiring of a Nurse Manager (Blanca Navarro, RN), a Research Coordinator (Boma Briggs),a Full time Administrative Secretary (Beverly Jackson) and replacing the psychiatrist Karen Johnson, MD, PhD (who left the institution) with ,Curley Bonds, MD to help mentor Dr. Echeverry in her research project. Dr. Bond¿s salary component has been moved to the budget of the research project.
