CENTER CORE FOR VISION RESEARCH

行政核心监督和管理视觉研究中心核心拨款， 休斯顿大学为验光视力学院的核心研究人员提供服务， 临床科学和生物医学工程。它监督、协调和整合 四个资源/服务单元的活动。核心及其模块的方向是 主要研究者的责任，以及主要研究者主持的核心执行委员会。执行 委员会由四个核心单元的主任和另外两个NEI资助的 代表参与部门和机构利益的核心研究者。核心 执行委员会制定并监督核心单元的使用准则， 包括为模块的工作请求设定优先级。它审查模块访问权限， 利用，预算和政策，冲突和其他问题，作出决定， 解释或制定政策，并规划未来增长战略。执行 委员会每年正式开会三次，每学期一次。秋季会议是 向所有核心研究人员开放，冬/春季会议包括咨询委员会全体成员 其中，除了执行委员会，还包括外部顾问，他们被选为 他们在科学和管理方面的智慧和专长。行政核心有必要 工作人员的支持与专门的时间，从全职工作人员在视光学学院绘制：一个核心 财务协调员，负责全面的赠款管理和月度预算 向核心报告，工作人员安排执行（和咨询）委员会会议和其他 核心事件，为模块排序，与核心调查员就请求进行沟通 维护和维修，跟踪核心设备维护合同的时间表，以及 监测核心研究者的合规要求。行政核心由 博士Laura Frishman（John和Rebecca Moores教授），视网膜生理学家，拥有14年的 作为核心PI。

The Administrative Core supervises and manages the Center Core Grant for Vision Research at the University of Houston that serves Core investigators in the College of Optometry Vision and Clinical Sciences, and in Biomedical Engineering. It oversees, coordinates and integrates the activities of the four resource/service modules. Direction of the Core and its modules is the responsibility of the PI, and the Core Executive Committee that the PI chairs. The Executive Committee is composed of the Directors of the four Core Modules, and two additional NEI-funded Core investigators who represent participating department and institute interests. The Core Executive Committee establishes and oversees guidelines for utilization of Core Modules, including setting priorities for work requests to the Modules. It reviews Module access and utilization, budget and policy, conflicts and other problems, to make decisions requiring interpretation or establishment of policy and to plan strategy for future growth. The Executive committee formally meets three times a year, once in each University term. The Fall meeting is open to all Core investigators and the Winter/Spring meeting includes the full Advisory Committee which, in addition to the Executive Committee, includes External Advisors who were selected for their wisdom and expertise in science and administration. The Administrative Core has necessary staff support with dedicated time, drawn from full-time staff in the College of Optometry: a Core Financial Coordinator who provides the full scope of grants management and monthly budget reports to the Core, and staff to arrange Executive (and Advisory) Committee meetings and other core events, do ordering for the Modules, communicate with Core investigators about requests for maintenance and repairs, track timelines for maintenance contracts for Core equipment, and monitor compliance requirements for Core investigators. The Administrative Core is directed by Dr. Laura Frishman (John and Rebecca Moores Professor), a retinal physiologist with 14 years' service as the Core PI.
