Core A

摘要：核心A 核心A是计划项目的管理核心。它包括两个主要目标： 为项目和核心提供行政支持和财务管理支持。的 行政支持包括每三周组织一次项目和核心领导人会议 (the执行委员会）和所有PPG研究者。执行委员会向所有 与科学进展有关的问题、未来会议的计划以及必要时 （一）人事问题。所有PPG研究者（包括所有 与PPG项目相关的工作人员或涉及的所有实验室中的核心）通常 人数约25人，是一个论坛，介绍正在进行的工作定期，持续 基础这允许评论和批评，完善科学方法和数据 分析.行政核心还组织内部咨询委员会会议（关于 第1、3和5年的PPG）和外部咨询委员会（第2和4年）。的 内部咨询委员会，这将是由基因纳蒂博士，谁也将出席三- 每周会议，将由当地调查人员组成，他们对正在进行的科学感兴趣。 完了他们还将应邀作为与会者参加外部咨询委员会会议。的 外部咨询委员会会议将审查进展情况，就下一步提出建议，并帮助 改善PPG组的科学质量。核心A项下的财务管理将 包括每月向调查人员提供最新预算情况， 向NIH报告。它还将向跟踪支出的项目主任报告， 并与科学工作落后或超出预算的研究人员合作。 核心A将提供必要的服务，使项目和核心能够共同工作 顺利实现自己的目标。

Summary: Core A Core A is the Administrative Core for the Program Project. It includes two main aims: to provide administrative support and financial management support for the Projects and Cores. The administrative support includes organizing triweekly meetings of the Project and Core Leaders (the Executive Committee) and all PPG investigators. The Executive Committee addresses all issues related to scientific progress, plans for future meetings, and when necessary (in closed session) personnel issues. The meeting of all of the PPG investigators (including all of the workers associated with the PPG Projects or Cores in all labs that are involved) usually numbers about 25 people, and is a forum for presenting ongoing work on a regular, continuing basis. This allows comments and criticisms that refine the scientific approach and data analysis. The Administrative Core also organizes meetings of the Internal Advisory Board (on years 1, 3, and 5 of the PPG) and of the External Advisory Board (on years 2 and 4). The Internal Advisory Board, which will be chaired by Dr. Gene Nattie, who will also attend the tri- weekly meetings, will consist of local investigators with an interest in the science that is being done. They will also be invited to the External Advisory Board meetings, as participants. The External Advisory Board meetings will review progress, give advice on next steps, and help to refine the quality of the science in the PPG group. Financial administration under Core A will include providing monthly updates to investigators on their budgets, and helping with annual reports to the NIH. It will also report back to the Program Director who will track expenditures, and work with investigators who fall behind in their scientific work or exceed their budgets. Core A will provide necessary services to allow the Projects and Cores to work together smoothly and to achieve their Aims.
