Administrative Core

抽象--管理核心 Cobre的首要目标是促进与医学成像相关的转化性癌症研究 一个共同的研究主题旨在提高癌症筛查、早期发现、诊断和治疗的效率 通过生物医学工程研究人员和医生之间的合作进行治疗 俄克拉荷马大学的科学家们。为了支持此Cobre应用程序的目标， 行政核心将提供领导和指导，以确保有效的运营和管理 Cobre的所有组成部分，通过有效的监督、财政责任和透明的行政 基础设施。科布雷的PD/PI将与外部咨询委员会(EAC)和内部 指导和监测行政核心整体运作进展情况的咨询委员会， 本中心的所有研究项目和两个研究资源支持核心。具体地说，行政部门 CORE有多项基本的运营活动，包括(1)协调研究和指导活动， (2)与监督委员会(即EAC、IAC和两个研究的其他咨询委员会)进行沟通 资源支持核心)，(3)评估COBRE整体和个别核心的进展，(4) 评估初级研究项目负责人在其研究项目中的进展和里程碑 职业发展，(5)选择和管理试点项目，以建立可持续的减贫战略渠道，(6) 确定和招聘新的RPL以取代从Cobre毕业的RPL，(7)组织研究 研讨会和讲习班，(8)管理COBRE的预算并跟踪所有财务活动，(9)监测 COBRE活动，以确保遵守所有联邦研究政策和法规。行政部门 核心还将包括一名Cobre协调员，以协助核心总监管理日常财务和 资助Cobre的活动，如根据需要帮助安排会议和会议室， 视需要举行视频和电话会议，确保研讨会和讲习班的场地安全，并安排 为EAC成员和受邀演讲者制定旅行计划和行程。因此，为了 成功完成这个行政核心的目标或任务，我们提出以下三个具体目标。 目标1：我们将支持一个整合良好的行政基础设施，以有效协调指导和 监督有前途的研究人员和试点项目调查员开展研究项目和 职业发展。目标2：我们将建立和实施可持续发展的选择和评价标准 在这个科布雷，有前途的初级调查员是RPL的。目标3：我们将支持研究资源 支持核心，以帮助促进和加强与医学成像相关的转化性癌症研究 活动和资源支助核心与研究项目之间的协同作用。

ABSTRACT – Administrative Core The overarching objective of this COBRE is to promote medical imaging related translational cancer research with a common research theme aiming to improve efficacy of cancer screening, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment through the collaborative efforts between the biomedical engineering researchers and the physician scientists in the University of Oklahoma. In order to support the objective of this COBRE application, the Administrative Core will provide leadership and guidance to ensure the efficient operation and management of all components of the COBRE through effective oversight, fiscal responsibility, and a transparent administrative infrastructure. PD/PI of this COBRE will work closely with the external advisory committee (EAC) and internal advisory committee (IAC) to guide and monitor the progress of the overall operation of the Administrative Core, all research projects and two research resource supporting cores of this COBRE. Specifically, the Administrative Core has multiple essential operation activities including to (1) coordinate the research and mentoring activities, (2) communicate with the oversight committees (i.e. the EAC, IAC and other advisory committees of two research resource supporting cores), (3) assess progress of both the COBRE as a whole and the individual cores, (4) evaluate progress and milestones of the junior research project leaders (RPLs) in their research projects and career development, (5) select and manage the pilot projects to build a sustainable pipeline of the RPLs, (6) identify and recruit new RPLs to replace the RPLs who graduate from the COBRE, (7) organize research seminars and workshops, (8) manage budget of the COBRE and track all financial activities, and (9) monitor all COBRE activities to ensure the compliance with all federal research policies and regulations. The Administrative Core will also include a COBRE Coordinator to assist Core Director in the management of routine fiscal and grant activities of the COBRE, such as helping with scheduling meetings and conference rooms as needed, video and tele-conferencing needs as necessary, securing venues for seminars and workshops, and scheduling travel plans and generating itineraries for the EAC members and the invited speakers. Thus, in order to successfully fulfill the goals or tasks of this Administrative Core, we propose the following three Specific Aims. Aim 1: we will support a well-integrated administrative infrastructure to effectively coordinate mentoring and oversight of the promising RPLs and the pilot project investigators in conducting their research projects and career development. Aim 2: we will establish and implement the selection and evaluation criteria for sustaining the pool of promising junior investigators for RPLs in this COBRE. Aim 3: we will support the research resource supporting cores to help promote and enhance the medical imaging related translational cancer research activities and synergy between the resource supporting cores and research projects.
