CORE--ADMINISTRATION AND SUBJECT RECRUITMENT

核心A将为开发和维持有效的研究计划提供必要的智力、组织和财政支持，该计划旨在确定专门为改善老年人睡眠而设计的行为干预是否也可能对他们的情绪、幸福感、功能和健康产生好处。核心A将领导和协调研究、审查、教育、学科招募和信息传播活动，解决与AGENISE计划有关的所有主要管理问题(数据处理除外)。具体目标是：1)确保老龄计划的顺利进行，促进五个组成部分项目和整个计划的科学化。这将通过每周一次的星期二下午的会议完成 年事已高的教职员工和关键员工。2)通过促进方案内的同行审查，并确保与核心C(数据管理和统计-Mazumdar)的老年统计师进行适当的磋商，促进科学的质量控制。3)招募所有年龄层的受试者，并征得他们的同意。4)提供一个论坛，讨论与三个核心相关的管理问题(A核心管理--Monk；B核心筛选和数据收集--Buysse；C核心数据管理和统计--Mazumdar)及其与五个组成部分项目的互动。5)根据匹兹堡大学内部审查委员会(IRB)和临床神经科学研究中心(CNRC)、国家老龄研究所(NIA)以及包括数据和安全监测在内的其他地方和国家机构的要求，提供提供及时报告、申请和认证所需的资源 冲浪板。6)确保老龄方案的财政责任，并为 广告、主题付款、旅行以及设备和用品的订购。7)提供 管理所有使用来自几个不同组成部分项目的数据的计划范围内的科学倡议。8)利用项目资源和由雷诺兹博士领导的NIMH培训补助金，为本科生、医学生、研究员和初级教员提供培训机会。9)向社区提供外联服务，既是传播对老年人有用的知识的一种手段，也是吸引潜在研究对象的一种手段。10)组织一个每年举行一次会议的外部咨询委员会。

Core A will provide the intellectual, organizational, and fiscal support essential for the development and maintenance of an effective program of research which seeks to determine whether behavioral interventions specifically designed to improve the sleep of older adults might also reap benefits for their mood, well-being, functioning and health. Core A will lead and coordinate the research, review, educational, subject recruitment and information dissemination activities, addressing all of the major management issues (other than data processing) related to the AgeWise program. The specific aims are as follows: 1) To ensure the smooth runninq of the AgeWise program, facilitating the science to be accomplished in the five component projects and in the program as a whole. This will be done using weekly Tuesday afternoon meetings of AgeWise faculty and key staff. 2) To promote scientific quality control by facilitating peer-review within the program and also ensuring appropriate consultation with AgeWise statisticians from Core C (Data Management and Statistics - Mazumdar). 3) To recruit, and obtain consent from, all AgeWise subjects. 4) To provide a forum for the discussion of mana.qement issues relating to the three cores (Core A Administration - Monk; Core B Screening and Data Collection - Buysse; Core C Data Management and Statistics - Mazumdar) and their interaction with the five component projects. 5) To provide resources needed for the provision of timely reports, applications and certifications as required by the University of Pittsburgh Internal Review Board (IRB) and Clinical Neuroscience Research Center (CNRC), the National Institute on Aging (NIA), as well as other local and national agencies, including a Data and Safety Monitorinq Board. 6) To ensure fiscal responsibility in the AgeWise program, and to provide mechanisms for advertising, subject payments, travel, and the ordering of equipment and supplies. 7) To provide management for all program-wide science initiatives which use data from several different component projects. 8) To provide a training opportunity for undergraduates, medical students, fellows and junior faculty, using both program resources and NIMH training grants led by Dr. Reynolds. 9) To provide outreach to the community both as a means of disseminating knowledge that would be useful for seniors, and as a means of attracting potential subjects. 10) To organize an external advisory board who would meet annually.
