Administrative Core

甲基苯丙胺滥用研究中心的行政核心(构成部分#1)包括所有3个科学组成部分(#7-9)以及所有支助核心(#1-6)的集中管理职能，包括生物统计(#2)、动物(#3)、教育(#4)、翻译服务(#5)和试点项目(#6)核心。行政核心协调科学咨询委员会提供的科学监督，包括审查试点项目，以及讲习班等活动提供的教育充实。关于MARC活动的行政决定将由MARC科学和核心组成部分PIS执行委员会做出。执行委员会将不断评估实现一般科学研究目标的进展情况，并监督中心所有活动领域的质量控制机制。此外，还将为动物生产(选择)、遗传学、构成部分内部和跨部分的统计分析、教育丰富和培训、人类和动物成像研究以及组织工作提供行政支助。将对集中的核心设施进行监督，以确定人类和动物样本的特征和进行分析。它将监督遗传学、生物信息学和数据共享、生物统计分析以及培训和教育充实和外联活动。最后，行政核心将协调试点项目的征集、审查和授予。因此，行政核心的结构是为了实现两个具体目标。具体目标1：核心提供行政和预算监督以及对中心所有活动的一般协调，具体目标2：核心通过大学网络上的安全共享驱动器协调中心调查人员之间的沟通，并通过MARC网站向外部实体，包括其他调查人员和中心传播信息。中心所有活动的一般行政协调和中心的预算将由中心主任雅诺夫斯基博士监督。科学方向的协调和未来规划将由科学主任菲利普斯博士监督，他将在雅诺夫斯基博士不在的情况下担任主任。

The Administrative Core (Component #1) of the Methamphetamine Abuse research Center (MARC) contains the centralized administrative functions for all 3 Scientific Components (#7-9), as well as for all of the support cores (#1-6), including the Biostatistics (#2), Animal (#3), Education (#4), Translational Service (#5), and Pilot Projects (#6) Cores. The Administrative Core coordinates the scientific oversight provided by the Scientific Advisory Board, including review of Pilot Projects, and educational enrichment as provided by such activities as workshops. Executive decisions regarding MARC activities will be made by the MARC Executive Committee of Scientific and Core Component Pis. The Executive Committee will continuously evaluate progress toward general scientific research goals, and will oversee quality control mechanisms in all areas of Center activity. Additionally, administrative support will be provided for animal production (selection), genetics, statistical analyses both within and across components, educational enrichment and training, human and animal imaging studies and tissue work. Oversight will be provided for centralized core facilities characterizing and assaying human and animal samples. It will oversee genetics, bioinformatics and data sharing, biostatistical analyses, and training and educational enrichment and outreach activities. Finally, the Administrative Core will coordinate Pilot Project solicitation, review and award. Thus, the Administrative Core is structured to address two specific aims. Specific Aim 1: The Core provides administrative and budgetary oversight and the general coordination of all Center activities, and Specific Aim 2: The Core coordinates communication among Center investigators via a secured shared drive on the University network, and the dissemination of information to outside entities, including other investigators and Centers, via the MARC web site. The general administrative coordination of all Center activities and the Center's budget will be supervised by Dr. Janowsky, the Center Director. The coordination of and future planning for scientific directions will be supervised by Dr. Phillips, the Scientific Director, who will act as Director in Dr. Janowsky's absence.
