Administrative Core

项目总结 保护(波多黎各探索污染威胁试验场)超级基金研究中心(SRC) 包括四个研究项目、两个研究支助核心和三个所需的浓缩核心，其中一个 是行政核心。行政核心的主要目标是为 通过项目监督、规划、协调和促进跨学科、多大学互动 和核心。次要的、同样重要的目标是将研究成果转化为利益相关者。 行政核心的具体目标是(1)提供中心指导和规划，(2)提供财政 管理和行政事务，(3)与NIEHS/SRP保持积极沟通；(4)促进 将活动和研究成果中心提供给科学界、政府和 行业，以及(5)为每个项目开发由调查员发起的研究翻译活动，包括 关于科研翻译的技术转让和培训。 为了实现这些目标，需要一个复杂的管理结构，特别是在地理上 分布在多个大学的团队。实质性的规划、组织和有效的沟通工具 促进积极协作和协调。为此，行政核心制定了一个 将项目、核心、机构和参与者联系起来的框架。这包括高资质和 管理和指导保护研究、培训和利益相关者的经验丰富的中心主任 参与活动；管理、促进和监测技术质量的执行委员会 项目和核心；一名研究翻译协调员，负责监督项目的研究翻译和 中心级别，以及支持保护研究和行政管理的敬业管理人员 使用适当的信息技术、财务和报告软件以及通信工具的活动。 为了向这项工作提供咨询和指导，一个由四个小组委员会组成的外部咨询委员会侧重于 重要问题；科学咨询委员会评估研究价值、跨学科整合、 翻译和相关性；机构伙伴关系咨询委员会提供必要的机构-- 层面指导和促进长期战略目标；以及培训和社区参与咨询 委员会支持各自的核心。经常进行日常管理和协调/整合 为保护人员和顾问的最佳参与制定了会议计划。这一有效的战略 自2010年成立以来一直在使用，从而实现了跨 项目、核心和机构，成功地与咨询委员会和外部 向NIEHS/SRP提供对利益攸关方的及时、准确的财务跟踪和进度报告。

PROJECT SUMMARY The PROTECT (Puerto Rico Testsite for Exploring Contamination Threats) Superfund Research Center (SRC) includes four research projects, two research support cores and three required enrichment cores, one of which is the Administrative Core. The primary objective of the Administrative Core is to provide a formal structure for oversight, planning, coordination, and promotion of cross-disciplinary, multi-university interaction by projects and cores. The secondary, equally vital objective is the translation of research to stakeholders. The specific aims of the Administrative Core are to (1) provide center direction and planning, (2) provide fiscal management and administrative services, (3) maintain active communication with NIEHS/SRP; (4) promote center activities and research results to all relevant stakeholders in scientific communities, government, and industry, and (5) develop investigator-initiated research translation activities for each project, including technology transfer and training on research translation. To accomplish these aims requires a sophisticated administrative structure, particularly for a geographically distributed, multi-university team. Substantial planning, organization, and effective communications tools promote active collaboration and coordination. To this end, the Administrative Core has developed a framework that links projects, cores, institutions and participants. This includes highly-qualified and experienced Center Directors who manage and guide PROTECT research, training and stakeholder engagement activities; an Executive Committee to manage, facilitate and monitor the technical quality of projects and cores; a Research Translation Coordinator to oversee research translation at the project and center levels, and a dedicated Administrative Staff who support PROTECT research and administrative activities using appropriate information technology, financial and reporting software and communications tools. To advise and guide the effort, an External Advisory Committee formed of four subcommittees focuses on important issues; the Scientific Advisory Committee assesses research merit, cross-disciplinary integration, translation and relevance; the Institutional Partnership Advisory Committee provides necessary institutional- level guidance and promotes long-range strategic goals; and Training, and Community Engagement Advisory Committees support their respective cores. Frequent, routine management and coordination/integration meetings are planned for optimal participation by PROTECT personnel and advisors. This effective strategy has been used since PROTECT was established in 2010, resulting in collaboration and integration across projects, cores and institutions, successful communication with advisory committees and external stakeholders, and timely, accurate financial tracking and progress reporting to NIEHS/SRP.
