Administration Component

管理核心支持GM/CA@APS活动，以运营和持续改进资源 在Advanced Photon Source研究具有挑战性的生物医学问题的大分子晶体学 在阿贡国家实验室。行政核心由GM/CA集团负责人Robert Fischetti领导 （联系PI），负责监督GM/CA的七名工作人员。科学总监珍妮特·史密斯博士（University of 密歇根州，PI）使GM/CA了解结构生物学当前的需求和挑战，并前往 阿贡每月两次。克雷格绪方博士（运营部负责人）领导用户项目， 管理三名工作人员。Sergey Stepanov博士（控制部门负责人）领导计算和网络 并监督三名工作人员。Fischetti和Smith对行动做出重大决定， 改进GM/CA，并与Ogata和Stepanov协商，制定GM/CA的长期目标。 成功运行用户计划的管理结构包括接收、跟踪和管理系统。 优先化对提前调度和快速接入波束时间的请求，以调度波束时间，以提供 每个用户组的专家主机，用于在用户的波束时间之后接收来自用户的反馈， 关于电子束时间使用的指标，以出版物和存放的结构数据的方式跟踪用户生产率 并组织光束线的维护和改进。克里斯汀·阿伦斯认为 用户数据库、波束时间使用、用户出版物、PDB证词和用户资金，以及 为GM/CA的所有活动提供专业的行政支持。迈克尔·贝克尔博士和绪方 和史密斯，监督通用汽车/CA优先束时间的应用，并组织宣传的重要 用户结果。阿伦斯、贝克尔和绪方共同安排光束时间。史蒂夫科科伦组织例行 光束线的维护和用户样品的护理。Fischetti和Smith寻求GM/CA外部的建议 咨询委员会，并负责满足GM/CA的报告要求。

The Administration Core supports GM/CA@APS activities to operate and continually improve a resource for macromolecular crystallography of challenging biomedical problems at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The Administrative Core is led by GM/CA Group Leader Robert Fischetti (contact PI) who supervises seven of the GM/CA staff. Scientific Director Dr. Janet Smith (University of Michigan, PI) keeps GM/CA abreast of current needs and challenges in structural biology and travels to Argonne twice per month. Dr. Craig Ogata (Operations Section Lead) leads the user program and supervises three staff. Dr. Sergey Stepanov (Controls Section Lead) leads the computing and networking effort and supervises three staff. Fischetti and Smith make major decisions about the operation and improvement of GM/CA and, in consultation with Ogata and Stepanov, set long-term goals for GM/CA. The administrative structure to operate a successful user program includes systems to receive, track and prioritize requests for advance-scheduled and rapid-access beam time, to schedule beam time, to provide an expert host for each user group, to receive feedback from users following their beam time, to gather metrics on beam time use, to track user productivity in terms of publications and structural data deposited in the PDB, and to organize beamline maintenance and improvement. Kristin Ahrens maintains databases of users, beam time use, user publications, PDB depositions and user funding, and she provides expert administrative support for all GM/CA activities. Dr. Michael Becker, together with Ogata and Smith, oversees GM/CA prioritization of beam time applications, and organizes publicity of significant user results. Ahrens, Becker and Ogata together schedule beam time. Steve Corcoran organizes routine beamline maintenance and care of user samples. Fischetti and Smith seek advice from a GM/CA External Advisory Board and are responsible for meeting GM/CA reporting requirements.
