Administrative Core

项目摘要 行政核心将为转化儿科研究中心提供运营监督 （CTPR）在阿肯色州儿童研究所（阿克里）在COBRE第二阶段。中心主任，博士。 艾伦·塔克特将在科学和指导任务中领导行政核心。塔克特博士是一位 在CTPR的科学重点国家公认的领导者，并有广泛的行政和指导 体验.中心副主任Robert Eoff博士将在业务监督方面提供额外支持 的中心。行政核心的长期目标是加强生物医学研究基础设施 通过提供行政监督和教师发展计划，将提高能力， 研究人员竞争补充NIH个人研究赠款或其他同等的校外 支持，并确保CTPR作为一个主题，多学科，国家的最先进的研究中心的寿命。 第二阶段的较短期目标是在第一阶段成功的基础上再接再厉， 通过实施中心的行政监督，执行学院的长期目标， CTPR项目负责人的发展计划，建立生产和高效的核心设施， 监督一个试点项目计划，以种子在中心的新教师的成长，并提供关键的 评估进展。为了实现CTPR的长期和短期第二阶段目标，该中心 领导层将在行政核心中追求以下具体目标：（1）提供长期 通过建立和支持主题，多学科，最先进的研究CTPR的成功 中心与尖端的研究，研究培训和职业发展机会，（2）执行一个 全面的教师发展计划，指导研究项目负责人过渡到 获得独立调查员地位，（3）管理试点项目计划，以促进教师的成长 在CTPR中，以及（4）使用量化里程碑和目标对CTPR进行全面评价 作为指标。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Administrative Core will provide operational oversight for the Center for Translational Pediatric Research (CTPR) at the Arkansas Children’s Research Institute (ACRI) during COBRE Phase II. The Center Director, Dr. Alan Tackett, will lead the Administrative Core both in the scientific and mentoring missions. Dr. Tackett is a nationally recognized leader in the scientific focus of the CTPR and has extensive administrative and mentoring experience. Dr. Robert Eoff, Center Deputy Director, will provide additional support in the operational oversight of the center. The long-term goal of the Administrative Core is to strengthen biomedical research infrastructure by providing administrative oversight and a Faculty Development Plan that will enhance the ability of investigators to compete for complementary NIH individual research grants or other equivalent extramural support, and ensure the longevity of the CTPR as a thematic, multi-disciplinary, state-of-the-art research center. The shorter-term goal during Phase II is to build upon the success of Phase I and strengthen the foundation for achieving the long-term goal by implementing administrative oversight of the center, executing the Faculty Development Plan for the CTPR Project Leaders, establishing productive and efficient Core Facilities, overseeing a Pilot Project Program to seed the growth of new faculty in the center, and providing critical evaluation of progress. To achieve the long-term and short-term Phase II goals of the CTPR, the center leadership will pursue the following Specific Aims in the Administrative Core: (1) Provide for the long-term success of the CTPR by establishing and supporting a thematic, multi-disciplinary, state-of-the-art research center with cutting-edge research, research training and career development opportunities, (2) Execute a comprehensive Faculty Development Plan for mentoring Research Project Leaders for their transition to and attainment of independent investigator status, (3) Administer a Pilot Project Program to seed the growth of faculty in the CTPR, and (4) Provide comprehensive evaluation of the CTPR using quantitative milestones and goals as metrics.
