MIT Laser Biomedical Research Center

麻省理工学院(MIT)激光生物医学研究中心(LBRC)是NIH NIBIB 研究资源。LBRC也是G.R.哈里森光谱实验室(SpecLab)的一部分。 由化学系管理。LBRC将进入下一个融资周期，届时将有七名资深 调查人员约有10-15名初级工作人员，管理着约40个协作和 服务项目。相对而言，LBRC并不是一个大型设施；然而，鉴于中心位于 七个高级研究员实验室的交汇以及与国内和国际网络的互动 与100多名相关人员协作，LBRC是一个相当复杂的企业，需要高效的 管理计划，有明确的责任链，以便正常运作。LBRC的领导班子 还认为LBRC的大部分财政资源应用于研究， 合作、培训/传播。因此，中心的指导性管理理念是最好的 阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的一句话概括了这句话：“让一切尽可能简单，但不是简单。”我们有 一直并将继续保持非常精干的行政预算。我们能够以最小的成本很好地发挥作用 行政开支有两个原因：第一，作为麻省理工学院化学系和学院的一部分 在科学上，我们可以利用运行良好的、更大的管理基础设施来开展许多LBRC操作。 第二，可能也是最重要的一点，我们有一个充满活力和合作精神的高级团队 调查人员。虽然除了参与LBRC之外，我们所有人都有研究和教学的角色，但拥有 一群热心的高级调查人员，他们愿意在 到目前为止，他们繁忙的日程安排是我们中心成功的部分原因。鉴于我们在过去四年中取得的成功， 我们认为没有理由进行根本性的改革。 总而言之，LBRC管理计划有五个组成部分： (1)LBRC组织：描述LBRC在受让机构内部的关系，并划定行政管理 以及高级调查员和主要工作人员的业务责任。 (2)LBRC外部咨询委员会(EAC)：审查LBRC EAC的结构和成员续签计划。 (3)LBRC操作程序：CP和SP管理、设备和 设施使用情况和设施用户培训。 (4)内部沟通和联网计划：(A)建立新的TRD范围和中心范围的定期计划 会议，(B)设立LBRC务虚会 (5)“日落”后维持业务和服务的过渡计划。

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Laser Biomedical Research Center (LBRC) is a NIH NIBIB research resource. The LBRC is also a part of the G.R. Harrison Spectroscopy Laboratory (SpecLab) administrated by the Department of Chemistry. The LBRC will enter its next funding cycle with seven senior investigators with approximately 10-15 junior staff members managing approximately 40 collaborative and service projects. Comparatively speaking, the LBRC is not a large facility; however, given that the center lies at the intersection seven senior investigator laboratories and interactions with a web of national and international collaborations with over 100 associated personnel, the LBRC is a fairly complex enterprise that needs an efficient management plan with a clear chain of responsibilities to properly function. The leadership team of the LBRC further believes that the majority of the financial resource of the LBRC should be devoted to research, collaborations, and training/dissemination. Therefore, the center's guiding management philosophy is best encapsulated by Albert Einstein's saying: “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.” We have been and will continue to keep a very lean budget for administration. We are able to function well with minimal administrative expenditure for two reasons: First, as a part of MIT Department of Chemistry and the School of Science, we can leverage the very well-run, larger administrative infrastructure for many LBRC operations. Second, and probably most importantly, we have a highly energetic and collaborative group of senior investigators. While all of us have research and teaching roles beyond our involvement in the LBRC, having an enthusiastic group of senior investigators who are willing to take up administrative and management roles within their busy schedule is partly the reason for success of our center so far. Given our success in the last four years, we see no reason for radical changes. In summary, the LBRC administrative plan has five components: (1) LBRC organization: Describe relationship of LBRC within grantee institution and delineate administrative and operational responsibilities among senior investigators and key staff members. (2) LBRC External Advisory Committee (EAC): Review LBRC EAC structure and membership renewal plan. (3) LBRC operating procedures: Layout / review procedures for CP an SP management, equipment and facility usages, and facility user training. (4) Internal communication and networking plans: (a) Establish new TRD-wide and Center-wide regular meetings, (b) Establish a LBRC Retreat (5) Transition plan towards maintaining operations and service after “sunset”.
