Administrative Core

行政核心的职能是监督对成功实现消除差异卓越中心（CEED）目标至关重要的活动，包括支持研究，研究培训/教育和社区核心的目标。 具体而言，行政核心的目标是： 1.通过为每个核心提供科学领导，建设CEED的科学能力。 2.通过将其活动整合到更大的大学校园结构中，利用CEED的生产力。 3.促进环境与发展中心内外的广泛可见度和交流，特别是通过开发和维护一个动态网站。 4.执行外部行政咨询理事会和内部行政咨询理事会的战略投入，并协调其活动。 5.管理CEED的财务、人事和机构审查委员会（IRB）人类受试者活动。 为了确保领导力的继承和组织奖学金的可持续性，我们做出了一个有目的的决定，任命了职业生涯中期的联合董事（卡尔霍恩，梅农），并得到了资深科学家核心董事（戴维斯，费兰斯和瓦梅克）的大力支持和指导。CEED的组织结构详见图2。CEED联合主任（卡尔霍恩和梅农）和CEED管理员（威利斯）将：（1）经纪人（收集和传输）有关CEED活动在少数民族健康和健康差距CEED人员，对齐校园实体和外部选区，包括维护一个网站， 持续的可见度和生产力的展示;（2）协助核心人员促进调查人员，研究导师，受训人员和社区合作伙伴之间的对话，以推进以少数民族健康和健康差异为重点的研究议程;（3）积极寻求和跟进内部和外部顾问的战略投入;（4）对CEED活动进行流程改进评估;（5）持续监测所有CEED组成部分是否符合联邦研究指南;（6）确保勤奋和全面报告CEED结果。

The function of the Administrative Core is to oversee activities critical to successfully achieving the aims of the Center of Excellence for the Elimination of Disparities (CEED), including supporting the aims of the Research, Research Training/Education, and Community Cores. Specifically, the aims of the Administrative Core are to: 1. Build the scientific capacity of the CEED by providing scientific leadership to each Core. 2. Leverage the CEED's productivity by integrating its activities within the larger University campus structure. 3. Promote wide-ranging visibility and communications within and beyond the CEED, particularly by developing and maintaining a dynamic website. 4. Implement strategic input from and coordinate activities of the External Executive Advisory Council and the Internal Administrative Advisory Council. 5. Administer the fiscal, personnel and Institutional Review Board (IRB) human subject activities of the CEED. To ensure leadership succession and organizational scholarship sustainability, a purposeful decision was made to appoint mid-career Co-Directors (Calhoun, Menon) with strong support and coaching by senior scientist Core Directors (Davis, Ferrans, and Wamecke). The organizational structure for the CEED is detailed in Figure 2. The CEED Co-Directors (Calhoun and Menon) and CEED Administrator (Willis) will: (1) broker (collect and transmit) information related to CEED activities in minority health and health disparities across CEED personnel, aligned campus entities and outside constituencies, including maintaining a website for sustained visibility and showcasing of productivity; (2) assist core personnel in catalyzing dialogues across investigators, research mentors, trainees and community partners, to advance a research agenda focused on minority health and health disparities; (3) actively seek and follow up on strategic input from internal and external advisors; (4) conduct process improvement evaluations of the CEED activities; (5) continuously monitor all CEED components for compliance with federal research guidelines; and (6) ensure diligent and comprehensive reporting of CEED outcomes.
