Administrative Core

位于新奥尔良的路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心的综合酒精研究中心(CARC)的科学重点是对酒精和艾滋病毒进行尖端基础研究，这些研究可以转化为有效的社区干预措施。CARC的监督和运作是通过行政核心进行的。行政核心为CARC的指导、管理和协调提供组织框架。具体来说，行政核心；1)监测各个研究组成部分和核心的业绩和生产率；2)管理CARC的预算和财政活动；3)监督CARC人员：以及4)规划和执行中心的教育、丰富和传播职能。行政核心还提供生物统计支持，负责为CARC的行政和科学部门集中、协调和整合计算机服务。首席调查员负责CARC的所有组成部分，并监督其活动，并从科学主任、校内中心委员会和计划咨询委员会获得宝贵的意见。行政核心促进了参与者之间的协同和富有成效的互动，这大大促进了CARC的成功。这种互动对于参加CARC的科学家来说是一种“生活方式”，包括正式和非正式的场所，提供了充分的机会来批评和交流解决酗酒健康后果这一共同目标的想法。除了监测CARC各个组成部分的进展和科学生产力并促进跨学科合作外，行政核心还管理该中心的预算和财政活动。教育、丰富和传播活动主任为科学界和非科学界制定教育方案。 关于酒精使用和滥用的生物医学后果。总而言之，管理核心是一个成熟的、综合的组织，在开发一个全面的、以主题为重点的研究计划方面取得了成功的记录，该计划在一个具有重大临床意义的领域既富有成效又具有成本效益。

The scientific focus of the Comprehensive Alcohol Research Center (CARC) at the LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans is to conduct cutting-edge basic research on alcohol and HIV that can be translated into effective community-based interventions. The oversight and operation of the CARC is conducted through the Administrative Core. The Administrative Core provides the organizational framework for the direction, management, and coordination of the CARC. Specifically, the Administrative Core; 1) monitors the performance and productivity of the individual research components and cores; 2) manages the budget and fiscal activities of the CARC; 3) supervises the CARC personnel: and 4) plans and executes the educational, enrichment and dissemination functions of the Center. The Administrative Core also provides biostatistical support and is responsible for centralizing, coordinating, and integrating computer services for administrative and scientific components of the CARC. The Principal Investigator has responsibility for all CARC components and supervises their activities and receives valuable input from the Scientific Director, the Intramural Center Committee, and the Program Advisory Committee. The Administrative Core facilitates a synergistic and productive interaction among the participants which contributes substantially to the success of the CARC. Such interactions are a "way of life" for the participating CARC scientists and include both formal and informal venues which provide ample opportunity for critique and cross-fertilization of ideas addressing the common goal of the health consequences of alcohol abuse. In addition to monitoring the progress and scientific productivity of the individual components of the CARC and fostering interdisciplinary cooperation, the Administrative Core manages the budget and fiscal activities of the Center. The Director of Education, Enrichment, and Dissemination Activities develops educational programs for the scientific and lay communities on the biomedical consequences of alcohol use and abuse. In summary, the Administrative Core is a mature, integrated organization with a successful record in developing a comprehensive, thematically focused research program that is both productive and cost-effective in an area of great clinical relevance.
