Administrative Core

本行政核心（核心A）的总体目标是提供有效的行政和科学管理，以促进在本ICEMR计划下开展的研究和培训活动的跨学科整合。核心A将为项目1（流行病学）、项目2（传播）和项目3（发病机制及其与糖尿病核心（核心B）的联系）提供支持。在组织上，ICEMR将由苏格拉底·埃雷拉博士指导的高加索科学研究中心（Caucaseco SRC）管理，他将负责阐明和保证核心B和c的PLs和CLs之间的有效沟通。高加索科学研究中心将对该ICEMR的资金使用在法律上和经济上负责，并将负责所有必要的行政职能。核心A将参与项目总监（PD）、项目负责人（pl）和项目负责人（cl）的工作，以及所有培训活动和特殊项目，促进团队建设的有效行政和科学管理。

The overall goal for this Administrative Core (Core A) is to provide effective administrative and scientific management to facilitate Interdisciplinary integration of the research and training activities developed under this ICEMR program. Core A will provide support to Project 1 on epidemiology, Project 2 on transmission and Project 3 on pathogenesis and their articulation with the DM Core (Core B). Organizationally, the ICEMR will be administered by the Caucaseco Scientific Research Center (CAUCASECO SRC) under the direction of Dr. Socrates Herrera, who will have the responsibility to articulate and guarantee an efficient communication among the PLs and CLs for Core B and C. CAUCASECO SRC will be legally and financially accountable for the use of funds for this ICEMR and will be responsible for all necessary administrative functions. Core A will contribute to the activities assigned to the Program Director (PD), the PLs and the CLs, as well as to all training activities and the special projects, promoting effective administrative and scientific management for team building. This includes key elements that will help us meet the overall goal of this ICEMR for establishment of the Centro Latino Americano de Investigacion en Malaria-CLAIM that will provide the necessary knowledge, tools, and evidence-based strategies for use by the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) of the partner countries in this project. Core A will ensure an efficient communication with a "common language" among scientists, experts in diverse disciplines and staff members ofthe NMCP, and with endemic communities. It will ensure the accomplishment of the project milestones within the proposed timelines and promote creative interdisciplinary approaches to tackle critical features responsible for malaria transmission maintenance that cannot be solved through standard disciplinary approaches. Moreover, it will promote partnerships with government officials and stakeholders in the partner countries as a means for fast-tracking research results into translational steps towards malaria elimination. Models emerging from CLAIM activities will have broader regional and global applications for solving major malaria disease problems. Our emphasis on high-impact interdisciplinary science will have a direct impact on local, regional, and global policy related to the control of diseases. Accordingly these significant goals, strategies, and outcomes require the full scope of activities described. Core A team has the necessary background and experience to provide effective leadership for this program project. Nevertheless, we will promote coordination and integration of Projects and Cores by working interactively with the NIAID program staff, and will remain flexible enough to implement changes when needed to better serve the overall ICEMR team. As we have demonstrated in past NIH projects with significant international components, the design of our scientific management plan will promote a solid foundation for facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration and scientific productivity.
