该SA OAIC催化科学发现，促进教育和指导，并与其他合作伙伴 科学家和广大社区开发新的干预措施，以改善健康，生活质量， 美国老年人的独立。LAC监测、激励、维持、评估和报告进展 通过以下具体目标实现SA OAIC的目标： 1)提供后勤支援，并促进我们的OAIC的业务凝聚力; 2）促进研究 方案依从性，并保持对大学和政府政策的监管依从性， 负责任地开展OAIC支持的研究; 3）传播通过以下方式完成的科学创新 OAIC调查员，在我们的机构内外，关于老年科学的最新知识， 促进健康的生命延长; 4）促进和促进OAIC之间的跨学科合作 研究人员，核心，委员会和项目，以推动衰老生物学的基础科学从板凳到 5）选择和监测试点和探索性研究以及与OAIC主题一致的学者的进展; 6)监测和评估OAIC的进展，促进机构合作，并利用资源; 7）提供 对培训计划、试点研究和资源核心（RC）提供方案和科学指导;以及8） 积极参与OAIC国家网络，帮助推进其促进老年人独立的使命。 美国人 法律援助委员会负责协调外部咨询委员会、机构咨询委员会和 委员会和研究教育组成部分（REC）咨询委员会。通过RC 2，LAC支持 社区咨询委员会（CAB）。拉丁美洲和加勒比地区中心主办每周一次的老年科学研讨会， 执行委员会会议、老龄问题年度会议（为期3天的活动）、两次为期一天的 每年的老龄化，以及每两年一次的务虚会，OAIC学者和试点资金接受者出席并讨论 他们与UTHSCSA领导和当地专家的合作。这些活动使丰富的科学和学术 环境，进一步催化转化老年科学的变革性发现。 本地研究中心实施由研究中心3开发的网上研究服务追踪及管理系统 有效监测和评价各项活动和关键业绩指标， 编写报告。该中心亦提供一个电子管理及通讯平台， 增强了SA OAIC内部的凝聚力。本地顾问公司推广应用先进的管理概念（例如： 精益六西格玛），以精简审调处的业务，促进驻地协调员内部的协调。 总的来说，拉丁美洲和加勒比的举措和活动在优化联合国系统的业绩方面极为成功。 支持科学和推进OAIC总体目标的服务。

The SA OAIC catalyzes scientific discoveries, promotes education and mentorship, and partners with other scientists and the community at large to develop novel interventions to improve the health, quality of life, and independence of older Americans. The LAC monitors, stimulates, sustains, evaluates, and reports progress toward the SA OAIC's goal through the following Specific Aims: 1) Provide logistical support and promote operational cohesiveness to our OAIC; 2) Promote research protocol adherence and maintain regulatory compliance with university and governmental policies for the responsible conduct of OAIC-supported research; 3) Disseminate the scientific innovation accomplished by OAIC investigators, inside and outside our institution, regarding the latest knowledge on geroscience and promotion of healthy life extension; 4) Stimulate and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration among OAIC investigators, cores, committees, and projects, to advance basic science in aging biology from the bench to the clinic; 5) Select and monitor pilot and exploratory studies and progress of Scholars aligned with the OAIC theme; 6) Monitor and evaluate OAIC progress, foster institutional collaborations, and leverage resources; 7) Provide programmatic and scientific guidance to training programs, pilot studies, and resource cores (RCs); and 8) Participate actively in the national OAIC network to help advance its mission of promoting independence in older Americans. The LAC coordinates annual reviews by an External Advisory Committee, an Institutional Advisory Committee, and a Research Education Component (REC) Advisory Committee. With RC2, the LAC supports a Community Advisory Committee (CAB). The LAC sponsors a weekly seminar on Geroscience, a monthly OAIC Executive Committee Meeting, an Annual Conference on Aging (a 3-day activity), two one-day symposia on aging per year, and bi-annual retreats where OAIC Scholars and pilot funding recipients present and discuss their work with UTHSCSA leadership and local experts. These activities enable a rich scientific and academic environment that further catalyzes transformative discoveries in translational geroscience. The LAC implements an online research service tracking and management system developed by RC3 (PROS) for effective monitoring and evaluation of activities and key performance indicators, and efficient preparation of reports. The LAC also provides an electronic management and communications platform that enhances cohesion within the SA OAIC. The LAC promotes application of advanced managerial concepts (e.g. Lean Six-Sigma) to streamline OAIC operations and foster coordination within RCs. Collectively, LAC initiatives and activities have been extremely successful in optimizing performance of the services that support science and advance the overall goals of our OAIC.
