管理核心。行政核心由威廉·迈克斯纳博士(项目主任)和理查德·格雷斯利博士(副项目主任)组成。该核心将监督该方案的行政活动，并在行政事项上向各个次级项目提供协助。最重要的是，它将为整合各个次级项目的结果提供一个基础设施，以实现该方案的目标。因此，这一核心的具体目标和职能是： 1.协调本方案和各个子项目的管理活动(例如，协助管理预算和人员)。 2.通过协调该计划的系列研讨会和外部科学家的访问，促进学术环境。 3.每周召开会议，审查该计划的行政问题和关注事项。 4.每月与主要调查员和核心主任会面，讨论各个次级项目的进展情况和遇到的问题。 5.每六个月召集计划调查员、博士后研究员、研究生研究助理、顾问和工作人员，以(I)确定子项目之间一致和不一致的研究结果，(Ii)评估计划的工作假设，(Iii)确定是否需要修改或改进方案，以及(Iv)促进创造性思维并加强计划团队成员之间的互动。 6.协调方案外部科学咨询委员会与整个研究团队的年度会议。

Administrative Core. The Administrative Core is composed of Dr, William Maixner (Program Director) and Dr. Richard Gracely (Associate Program Director). This Core will oversee the administrative activities of the Program and provide assistance to the individual subprojects in administrative matters. Most importantly, it will provide an infrastructure for the integration of findings from the individual subprojects for attainment of the Program's goals. Accordingly, the specific aims and funcfion of this core are to: 1. Coordinate the administrafive activifies of the Program and the individual subprojects (e.g., assist in the management of budgets and personnel). 2. Promote a scholariy environment by coordinafing the Program's seminar series and visits by external scientists. 3. Meet weekly and review administrative issues and concerns of the Program. 4. Meet monthly with the principal investigators and core directors to discuss progress and problems encountered by the individualsubprojects. 5. Assemble every six months Program investigators, postdoctoral fellows, graduate research assistants, consultants as available, and staff to (i) identify concordant and discordant research findings among subprojects, (ii) evaluate the Program's working hypotheses, (iii) determine if changes or refinements in protocols are needed, and (iv) promote creative thinking and reinforce interactions among the Program team members. 6. Coordinate annual meetings of the Program's External Scientific Advisory Committees with the entire invesfigative team.
