ECHO Coordinating Center Administration Core

迫切需要精心设计的研究来检验环境暴露对健康的影响 对儿童的影响。为了解决这些知识差距，环境对儿童健康的影响 结果(ECHO)计划承诺利用现有的儿科队列来测试新的假设 环境暴露影响儿科健康。杜克临床研究所(DCRI)建议 作为ECHO协调中心(ECHO CC)，为 管理、指导和全面协调所有共同的回声活动。DCRI独一无二地准备好 领导这一雄心勃勃的计划。作为世界上最大的学术研究机构，DCRI管理着近30个 积极的网络和行政协调中心的资助，并已成为儿科临床的领导者 研究。为ECHO CC提供内部管理结构，并确保适当 ECHO CC的沟通和财务管理，DCRI将建立ECHO 协调中心管理组件。行政部门将提供广阔的视野 和对ECHO CC的监督，维护ECHO CC的所有方面的责任，确保 对ECHO研究实施新的、创新的、财政负责的、符合道德的方法，以及 为ECHO CC资源的分配和优先顺序提供指导。

Well-designed research is urgently needed to examine the impact of environmental exposures on health outcomes in children. To address these knowledge gaps, the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program promises to leverage extant pediatric cohorts to test new hypotheses of how environmental exposures impact pediatric health. The Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI) proposes to serve as the ECHO Coordinating Center (ECHO CC) to provide the organizational framework for the management, direction, and overall coordination of all common ECHO activities. DCRI is uniquely poised to lead this ambitious initiative. As the world’s largest academic research organization, DCRI manages nearly 30 active network and administrative coordinating center grants and has emerged as a leader in pediatric clinical research. In order to provide internal administrative structure for the ECHO CC and ensure appropriate communication and financial management of the ECHO CC, the DCRI will establish the ECHO Coordinating Center Administration Component. The Administration Component will provide broad vision and oversight for the ECHO CC, maintain accountability for all aspects of the ECHO CC, ensure the implementation of new and innovative, fiscally responsible, ethical approaches to the ECHO research, and provide guidance for allocation and prioritization of ECHO CC resources.
