Program Enhancement Core

项目增强核心是俄克拉荷马州内森休克衰老中心的行政部门 并将监督该中心在俄克拉荷马州大学健康科学中心开展的所有活动， 俄克拉荷马州医学研究基金会和俄克拉荷马州市退伍军人医疗中心。芯会 推广/宣传研究中心的服务，并评估其表现。程序 增强核心还将管理两个新的计划：一年一度的俄克拉荷马州老年科学研讨会 和老年病理学研究资源方案增强核心的具体目标是： 目标1.为中心提供行政/管理支持。核心将负责 中心的日常管理;将监督预算，包括研究核心的成本回收; 并将促进研究中心之间的服务整合。此外，该计划的丰富性 核心将通过两种方式评估中心的进展情况：内部咨询委员会， 管理人员和研究领导人在三个东道国机构，将每年评估中心和 外部咨询委员会由五位老龄问题领导人组成，他们将每隔一年对中心进行评估。 目标2.推广/宣传中心提供的服务及活动。核心将负责 使科学界了解研究中心通过一系列 机构，例如，一个网站，休克中心协调中心与美国老龄联合会 研究和核心领导人参加老龄化会议，如戈登和基石会议， 美国老龄化协会和美国老年学会的年会。 目标3：提供智力和组织领导，以激发对老龄化的兴趣， 俄克拉荷马州和全国的老年科学。对俄克拉荷马州市和俄克拉荷马州老龄化和老年科学的兴趣 以及国家将通过各种活动，例如，举办老龄问题系列研讨会 在OUHSC/OMRF，举办夏季培训课程，在实验老化研究时，它是在 俄克拉荷马州市，并参加了两年一度的内森休克首脑会议的年度会议， 美国老龄化协会。最重要的将是一年一度的俄克拉荷马州老年科学研讨会，将 由计划增强核心组织和管理。 目标4。为研究人员提供专门为研究衰老小鼠而设计的病理分析 Geropathology Research Resource（GRR）GRR将为研究人员提供独特的 老年病理学研究网络开发的老年病理学分析，这将使研究人员 评价年龄和衰老干预对小鼠病理状态的影响。GRR还将 与华盛顿大学休克中心合作，继续发挥老年病理学的作用 研究网络，并促进兽医病理学家使用老年病理学分级平台。

The Program Enhancement Core is the administrative arm of the Oklahoma Nathan Shock Aging Center and will oversee all activities conducted by the Center at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, and the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center. The Core will promote/publicize the services of the Research Cores as well as evaluate their performance. The Program Enhancement Core will also administer two novel programs: an annual Oklahoma GeroScience Symposium and the Geropatholgy Research Resource. The specific aims of the Program Enhancement Core are: Aim 1. To provide administrative/management support for the Center. The Core will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the center; will oversee budgets, including cost recovery for the Research Cores; and will promote the integration of services among the Research Cores. In addition, the Program Enrichment Core will evaluate the progress or the Center in two ways: an Internal Advisory Committee consisting of administrators and research leaders at the three host institutions that will annually evaluate the Center and the External Advisory Committee consisting of five leaders in aging who will evaluate the Center every other year . Aim 2. To promote/publicize services and activities provided by the Cores. The Core will be responsible for making the scientific community aware of services provided by the Research Cores through a series of mechanisms, e.g., a website, the Shock Centers Coordinating Center with the American Federation for Aging Research, and Core Leaders attending aging meetings such as the Gordon and Keystone Conferences and the annual meetings of the American Aging Association and Gerontological Society of America. Aim 3. To provide the intellectual and organizational leadership to stimulate interest in aging and geroscience in Oklahoma and the nation. Interest in aging and geroscience in Oklahoma City and Oklahoma as well as the nation will be stimulated through a variety of activities, e.g., organizing a seminar series in aging at OUHSC/OMRF, hosting the Summer Training Course in Experimental Aging Research when it is in Oklahoma City, and participating in the bi-annual Nathan Shock Summits at the annual meeting of the American Aging Association. Most important will be the annual Oklahoma GeroScience Symposium, which will be organized and managed by the Program Enhancement Core. Aim 4. To provide investigators with pathological analysis specifically designed for studying aging mice through the Geropathology Research Resource (GRR). The GRR will provide investigators with the unique geropathological analysis developed by the Geropathology Research Network, which will allow investogators to evaluate the effect of age and aging interventions on the pathological status of mice. The GRR will also collaborate with the University of Washington Shock Center to continue the functions of the Geropathology Research Network and promote the use of the Geropathology Grading Platform to veterinary pathologists.
