Administrative Core

东北生物防御中心是生物防御和新兴传染病研究的区域卓越中心，代表纽约，新泽西，康涅狄格州，波多黎各和维尔京群岛30多个机构的350多名研究人员。行政核心的使命是通过为研究和职业发展颁发奖项、支持核心设施以及通过会议和电子媒体促进沟通和合作，促进生物防御方面的研究和培训方案。核心有三个站点，一个在哥伦比亚大学，那里的主任和首席研究员（利普金），副主任（黛安麦克法登）协调科学，财政和沟通方面的计划，第二个地点在沃兹沃斯中心的纽约州卫生部，沃兹沃斯中心联络员（Harry Taber）和公共卫生联络员（Lawrence Sturman）协调发展项目和职业发展计划以及应急响应计划，第三个在阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院，副主任（Arturo Casadevall）与主任密切合作，协调中心并监测动物，表达和蛋白质组学核心。行政核心向一个指导委员会报告，该委员会由来自以下牵头机构的代表组成：阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院、哥伦比亚大学、康奈尔大学、蒙大拿大学。西奈医学院、纽约大学、洛克菲勒大学、纽约州立大学斯托尼布鲁克、新泽西医学和牙科大学、沃兹沃斯中心和耶鲁大学。行政核心对全国广播公司的业绩进行年度审查，考虑到出版物、发明、提供和参加的会议和培训课程、在生物防御研究方面征聘和/或培训的科学家、促进区域环境教育中心内部和内部的合作以及科学咨询委员会和全国广播公司成员的评价等指标。每两年，在与NIAID计划工作人员协商后，核心聘请外部实体对中心绩效进行正式的独立评估。

The Northeast Biodefense Center is a Regional Center of Excellence for Research in Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases that represents more than 350 investigators in more than 30 institutions in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The mission of Administrative Core is to promote research and training programs in biodefense by distributing awards for research and career development, supporting core facilities, and facilitating communication and collaboration through meetings and electronic media. The Core has three sites, one at Columbia University, where the Director and Principal Investigator (Lipkin), and Associate Director (Diane McFadden) coordinate scientific, fiscal and communicative aspects of the program, a second site at the Wadsworth Center of the New York State Department of Health, where the Wadsworth Center Liaison (Harry Taber) and Public Health Liaison (Lawrence Sturman) coordinate the Developmental Projects and Career Development Programs as well as Emergency Response Planning, and a third at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine where the Deputy Director (Arturo Casadevall) works closely with the Director in coordinating the Center and monitors the Animal, Expression and Proteomics cores. The Administrative Core reports to a Steering Committee comprised of representatives from the lead institutions: the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Columbia University, Cornell University, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York University, The Rockefeller University, SUNY Stony Brook, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Wadsworth Center and Yale University. The Administrative Core pursues an annual review of NBC performance considering such metrics as publications, inventions, meetings and training course offered and attended, scientists recruited and/or trained in biodefense research, intra- and inter-RCE collaborations fostered, and Scientific Advisory Board and NBC member evalutions. Every two years, in consultation with NIAID program staff, the Core engages an outside entity for a formal independent assessment of center performance.
