摘要-行政核心 行政核心由奥布莱恩执行委员会管理，其任务是确保 匹兹堡大学奥布莱恩泌尿外科合作研究中心达到了 这个应用程序。核心主任王周博士在指导研究项目方面拥有丰富的经验。 为了完成这项任务，行政核心将支持各种活动：1）审查项目; 2） 招聘和监督工作人员; 3）组织会议; 4）生物统计分析支持; 5）临床 相关性审查，6）预算会计和监督; 7）试点项目的选择和监测; 8） 与美国国立卫生研究院和其他奥布莱恩中心的沟通，以及在大学的中心成员之间的沟通， 匹兹堡; 9）通过每周的研究会议，期刊俱乐部，年度迷你， 研讨会，学生外联和旅行基金;最后，10）与公众沟通。 项目的审查和监测是行政核心的一项关键职能。如果 如果执行委员会认为项目进展不足，委员会将与 项目负责人解决问题和/或建议用新的研究取代原来的目标 在与内部和外部咨询委员会协商并获得批准后， NIDDK计划官员。 此外，行政核心将为所有项目提供比 可以通过个体群体的小规模努力来获得。通过本核心的活动， 奥布莱恩泌尿中心的成员将有机会不断沟通，与每个 项目受益于整个中心的广泛专业知识。这种高水平的 互动将促进协作，并为调查人员提供一种获得工作反馈的途径， 为中心的成功做出了巨大贡献。新的研究和想法的注入， 通过试点和教育项目，也将发挥重要作用。

Abstract - Administrative Core The Administrative Core, as governed by the O'Brien Executive Committee, has the task of ensuring that the University of Pittsburgh O'Brien Urology Cooperative Research Center reaches the goals set forth in this application. The Core Director, Dr. Zhou Wang, has extensive experience in directing research programs. To accomplish this task, the Administrative Core will support a variety of activities: 1) review of the Projects; 2) recruitment and supervision of staff; 3) organization of meetings; 4) biostatistical analysis support; 5) clinical relevance review, 6) budget accounting and oversight; 7) pilot project selection and monitoring; 8) communication with the NIH and other O'Brien Centers as well as among Center members at the University of Pittsburgh; 9) Educational Enrichment through weekly research meetings, journal club, a yearly mini- symposium, student outreach and travel funds; and lastly, 10) communicating with general public. The review and monitor of projects represents a key function of the Administrative Core. If the Executive Committee decides that a project is not progressing adequately, the Committee will work closely with the project leader to resolve the problem and/or recommend replace the original aim(s) with new research directions after conferring with Internal and External Advisory Committees and obtaining approval from the NIDDK program officer. In addition, the Administrative Core will provide all projects with better and more efficient services than could be obtained by the smaller-scale efforts of the individual groups. Through the activities of this Core, the members of the O'Brien Urology Center will have the opportunity for constant communication, with each project deriving benefit from the wide range of expertise found in the Center as a whole. This high level of interaction will cultivate collaboration and provide a way for investigators to get feedback on their work, significantly contributing to the likelihood of success for the Center. The infusion of new research and ideas, through the pilot and educational programs, will also play an important role.
