Administrative Core

项目小组的成功取决于项目成员之间的有效沟通和高效互动。耶鲁大学的中央管理核心将极大地促进这一点。此外，核心将促进文书工作、表格、审批和日程安排事项，这将提高效率，并使私人投资机构能够将更多时间集中在他们的项目上。 行政核心职责将由耶鲁大学的一名行政助理(艾米·埃利斯女士)在大卫·罗斯坦博士(核心主任)的指导下执行。 行政核心将负责安排和协调耶鲁的PI和UPMC之间每两个月举行一次的视听会议和实验室会议。此外，行政核心将负责安排MPC PI的Lakkis和Demetris博士到耶鲁的现场访问(每年三次)，并与内部咨询委员会会议(每年两次)和外部咨询委员会会议(每年一次)进行协调。这将包括为这些会议的与会者安排旅费和报销，以及安排会议安排。 行政核心还将负责为PPG编写联合摘要、手稿、演示文稿和进度报告。其他职责包括对支出进行核算和跟踪，以及为进度报告编制年度预算。最后，CORE将负责协调将组织样本运送给UPMC的杰克·德米特里斯博士(组织病理学CORE B)。 这些职责将确保国际组织作为组织病理学核心之间的无缝沟通和互动，并促进咨询委员会的有效投入。这种互动是私营部门小组取得最终成功所需的协作和互动环境和交流的关键。

The success of the PPG is dependent upon effective communication and efficient interactions between project members. This will be greatly facilitated by a centralized Administrative Core at Yale. Moreover, the Core will facilitate paperwork, forms, approvals, and scheduling matters which will increase efficiency and allow PIs to focus more time on their projects. Administrative Core duties will be carried out by an Administrative Assistant (Ms. Amy Ellis) at Yale, under the direction of Dr. David Rothstein (Core Director). The Administrative Core will be responsible for scheduling and coordinating bimonthly audio-visual conferences and lab meetings between the Pi's at Yale and UPMC. In addition the Administrative Core will be responsible for scheduling site visits by UMPC Pi's Drs. Lakkis and Demetris (three times yearly) to Yale and coordinating these with meetings of the internal advisory committee (twice yearly) and with the external advisory committee (once yearly). This will include arranging travel accommodations and reimbursements for the participants of these meetings as well as making conference arrangement. The Administrative Core will also be responsible for the preparation of joint abstracts, manuscripts, and presentations, and progress reports for the PPG. Other responsibilities include accounting and tracking of expenditures as well as the preparation of the annual budgets for the progress reports. Finally, the Core will be responsible of coordinating the shipping of tissue samples to Dr. Jake Demetris (Histopathology Core B) at UPMC. These duties will ensure seamless communications and interactions between the PI's, the Histopathology Core, and promote effective input from advisory committees. Such interactions are key to the collaborative and interactive environment and communications required for ultimate success of the PPG.
