Administrative Core

非洲儿童呼吸道微生物群研究中心（ReMAC）：行政核心 摘要 我们建议发展一个行政核心，以（1）提供有效率、回应迅速和负责任的服务， （2）建立科学的管理体制， 监督、项目执行、能力发展和网络建设;（3）协调差旅 （4）确保科学委员会的定期会议能够得到有效的安排， 为咨询委员会、指导委员会和工作组提供便利。 中心的管理将由指导委员会领导，该委员会由PI主持，并包括研究中心PI 以及各工作组组长。指导委员会将在每个H3非洲联盟举行会议 会议将设立工作组，负责监督下列活动： 生物信息学，（B）表型协调，（c）数据分析，（d）项目协调和（e）能力 发展将设立一个科学咨询委员会，成员包括生物信息学、统计学、 生物伦理学、儿科呼吸系统疾病和微生物组科学。 能力建设将是中心的一个主要重点，将包括研究生培训（重点是 生物信息学和生物统计学）、导师计划、交流访问和跨中心科学研究 会议.一个关键目标是为几名年轻科学家获得职业发展奖学金， 过渡到独立。

Center for Research on the Respiratory Microbiota of African Children (ReMAC): Administrative Core Abstract We propose to develop an administrative core to (1) provide efficient, responsive and responsible administration for the Center; (2) implement a management structure which is responsible for scientific oversight, project implementation, capacity development and network building; (3) coordinate travel arrangements and consortium meeting attendance; and (4) ensure that regular meetings of the Scientific Advisory Board, Steering Committee and Working Groups are facilitated. The management of the Center will be led by a steering committee, chaired by the PI and including the site-PIs as well as the leads of the working groups. The Steering Committee will meet at each H3Africa Consortium meeting. Working groups will be constituted to be responsible for oversight of the following activities: (a) bioinformatics, (b) phenotype harmonization, (c) data analysis, (d) project coordination and (e) capacity development. A Scientific Advisory Board will be constituted, including experts in bioinformatics, statistics, bioethics, pediatric respiratory illness and microbiome science. Capacity development will be a major focus of the Center, and will include postgraduate training (with a focus on bioinformatics and biostatistics), a mentorship programme, exchange visits and cross-Center scientific meetings. A key aim is to obtain career development fellowships for several junior scientists, to facilitate their transition to independence.
