Core A: Administrative Core

行政核心的总体目标是提供中心活动的监督、协调和整合。具体目标是：1)协调和整合项目和核心的科学目标，跟踪其进展和产出，并根据中心的活动进展情况进行必要的调整；2)进行资源管理规划，以确保项目和核心需求得到满足；3)组织项目和核心领导的会议，促进互动，并传播外部咨询委员会的建议；4)跟踪职业发展和社区参与计划的进展和成功；以及5)编写中心范围的报告，并与NIEHS、EPA和其他参与研究、培训和社区单位或组织的机构进行沟通。核心将通过一个执行委员会运作，执行委员会由五名核心人员(核心领导/私人助理、核心共同领导和儿科保健专家)以及每个项目和核心的领导人组成。 行政核心将确保协调中心的活动并规划和评估资源 在核心和项目内部和之间进行管理。在定期安排的会议上，执行委员会成员将根据拟议的财务指标跟踪研究目标的实现情况，并审查项目和核心的协调和资源需求，以确定在出现需求时最有效地利用基础设施和通信来解决需求。该中心项目整合计划的实施是管理核心的核心责任，以利用项目之间的协同潜力，环境生物统计核心，并与密歇根研究走廊(由密歇根大学、密歇根州立大学和韦恩州立大学组成)的其他中心和研究人员合作。核心将与外部咨询委员会和其他利益攸关方互动，以优化研究和翻译产出。最后，行政核心将实施职业发展和培训计划，并确保这些活动与中心的研究项目和环境生物统计核心充分结合。

The overall goal ofthe Administrative Core is to provide oversight, coordination, and integration of Center activifies. The Specific Aims are to: 1) Coordinate and integrate the scientific aims ofthe Projects and Cores, track their progress and outputs, and make adjustments as needed as the activities of the Center progress; 2) Conduct resource management planning to assure that Project and Core needs are met; 3) Organize meefings ofthe Project and Core leaders, facilitate interacfions and disseminate recommendations by the External Advisory Committee; 4) Track the progress and success of Career Development and Community Engagement Plans; and 5) Prepare Center-wide reports, and communicate with NIEHS, EPA, and other participafing research, training, and community units or organizations. The Core will operate through an Executive Committee composed of Administrafive Core personnel (Core Leader/PI; Core Co-Leader and Pediatric Health Specialist) and Leaders of each ofthe Projects and Cores. The Administrative Core will ensure coordination of Center activities and plan and assess resource management within and across Cores and Projects. At regulariy scheduled meetings, Executive Committee members will track accomplishment of research goals according to the proposed fimeline, and review coordination and resource needs across the Projects and Cores, to identify the most efficient use of the infrastructure and communications to resolve needs as they arise. Implementation ofthe Center's Program Integrafion plan is a central responsibility ofthe Administrative Core to capitalize on the synergy potential between Projects, the Environmental Biostatistics Core, and with other Centers and investigators throughout the Michigan Research Corridor (made up of UM, Michigan State, and Wayne State Universities). The Core will interact with the External Advisory Board and other Stakeholders to optimize research and translation outputs. Finally, the Administrative Core will implement a Career Development and Training plan and ensure that these acfivities are fully integrated with the Center's research projects and Environmental Biostatistics Core.
