项目摘要--行政监督 智能使用技术评估现实世界成果中心的使命是 为全国康复研究界提供独特的资源。为了最大限度地提高我们的能力 为了推进康复研究，改善残疾人的成果，我们将创建一个灵活的， 响应迅速、高效的管理结构，可优化我们提供有价值的专业知识和 为研究人员和临床医生提供资源，包括与其他中心的高效协作。我们的总体目标是 为了创建一个允许有效管理监督的组织结构，明确定义了 关键人员的职责，并提供访问C-Star资源和专业知识的便捷途径。具体来说， 我们将创建一个试点项目，向不同群体的研究人员征集申请，提供 为研究社区提供协作学习机会，开发技术以提高能力 衡量现实世界的结果，通过社交媒体和其他独特资源在全国范围内营销C-Star， 并征求利益攸关方独立咨询委员会的每两年一次的投入。 我们指派了经验丰富的领导来管理中心的每个组件：核心、教学 互动，以及动手互动。执行委员会，由核心董事组成，主要 调查人员和试点项目委员会主席将每月举行会议，评估进展情况，解决问题， 并记录活动和产出。执行委员会还将监测中心的预算和主要 人员努力，以确保中心资源得到有效利用，并在不同部门之间有效分配 中心活动。在临时基础上，C-STAR人员还将参与(1)教学工作，(2) 理想实验室等项目，让临床医生和研究人员在结构化的“白板”中探索新想法 会议和试点项目审查，以及(3)试点研究的评价和指导。指导战略 用来建立我们核心领导层的是选择有成就的专业人士的联席董事， 代表雪莉·瑞安能力实验室(SRALab)和西北大学(NU)，并包括 研究经验和性别的多样性。我们的核心董事将作为C-STAR的联系人 咨询，协助审查试点项目，参与理想实验室，并吸引适当的同事参与 这些审查，并将新的技术开发理念注入技术核心。所有核心董事都有 领导经验；有些是非常资深的研究人员，有丰富的经验。 我们还提出了一种新的预算编制模式，基于我们以前在基础设施赠款方面的经验， 在这种情况下，核心往往要么未得到充分利用，要么被过度利用。我们建议使用“价值基础”会计(VBA)。 根据需要将资金转移到适当的核心的方法。最后，C-STAR将会有接近 与行业合作伙伴的关系，从更传统的设备到由提供的技术支持 大多数公司都要在非常大量的数据住房和计算环境中工作。

Project Summary—Administrative Oversight The mission of the Center for Smart Use of Technologies to Assess Real-World Outcomes (C-STAR) is to serve as a unique resource to the national rehabilitation research community. In order to maximize our ability to advance rehabilitation research and improve outcomes for persons with disability, we will create an agile, responsive, and efficient administrative structure that optimizes our ability to provide valuable expertise and resources to researchers and clinicians, including efficient collaboration with other Centers. Our overall goal is to create an organizational structure that allows efficient managerial oversight, clearly defines the responsibilities of key personnel, and provides easy access to C-STAR resources and expertise. Specifically, we will create a pilot program project that solicits applications from a diverse population of researchers, provide collaborative learning opportunities to the research community, develop technologies to advance the ability to measure real-world outcomes, market C-STAR nationally through social media and other unique resources, and solicit biennial input from an independent advisory board of stakeholders. We have assigned experienced leadership to manage each of the Center components: cores, didactic interactions, and hands on interactions. An Executive Committee, comprising Core directors, the principal investigators, and the pilot project committee chair, will meet monthly to evaluate progress, address problems, and document activities and outputs. The Executive Committee will also monitor Center budgets and key personnel effort to ensure that Center resources are used efficiently and distributed effectively among various Center activities. On an ad hoc basis, C-STAR personnel will also participate in (1) didactic efforts, (2) programs such as IdeaLabs in which clinicians and researchers explore new ideas in structured “white board” sessions, and pilot project reviews, and (3) evaluation and mentoring of pilot studies. The guiding strategy used to create our core leadership was to choose co-directors who are accomplished professionals, representing both Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (SRAlab) and Northwestern University (NU), and encompass a diversity of research experience and gender. Our core directors will serve as a point-of-contact for C-STAR inquiries, assist in the reviewing of pilot projects, participate in IdeaLabs and draw appropriate colleagues into these reviews, and feed new technology development ideas into the technology core. All core directors have leadership experience; some are very senior researchers with extensive experience. We are also proposing a novel budgeting model, based on our previous experience with infrastructure grants, in which cores are often either under- or over-utilized. We propose use of the “value based” accounting (VBA) method in which funds are shifted, as needed, to the appropriate core. Finally, C-STAR will have close relationships with industry partners, ranging from the more traditional device and technical support provided by most companies to the very substantial data housing and computational environment.
