Program Enhancement Core

计划增强核心是俄克拉荷马州内森休克老龄中心的行政部门 并将监督俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心中心开展的所有活动， 俄克拉荷马医学研究基金会和俄克拉何马城退伍军人医学中心。核心意志 推广/宣传研究中心的服务，并评估其绩效。该计划 Enhance Core还将管理两个新项目：俄克拉荷马州老年科学年度研讨会 和老年病理学研究资源。计划增强核心的具体目标是： 目标1.为中心提供行政/管理支持。核心将负责 中心的日常管理；将监督预算，包括研究核心的成本回收； 并将促进各研究核心之间的服务一体化。此外，该计划还丰富了 CORE将以两种方式评估进展情况或中心：一个由以下人员组成的内部咨询委员会 三个主办机构的管理人员和研究负责人将每年对该中心和 由五位老龄问题负责人组成的外部咨询委员会将每隔一年对该中心进行评估。 目标2.促进/宣传各核心部门提供的服务和活动。核心将负责 通过一系列活动让科学界了解研究中心提供的服务 机制，例如网站、电击中心与美国老龄联合会的协调中心 研究，以及出席戈登会议和Keystone会议等老龄化会议的核心领导人和 美国老龄协会和美国老年学会的年度会议。 目标3.提供智力和组织领导，以激发人们对老龄化和 俄克拉荷马州和全国的老年科学。俄克拉荷马城和俄克拉荷马州对老龄化和老年科学的兴趣 以及国家将通过各种活动来刺激，例如，组织一系列关于老龄化的研讨会 在OUHSC/OMRF，在实验衰老研究方面主办暑期培训班 俄克拉何马城，并参加每年两次的内森冲击峰会 美国老龄协会。最重要的将是一年一度的俄克拉荷马州老年科学研讨会，它将 由计划增强核心进行组织和管理。 目的4.为研究人员提供专门为研究衰老小鼠而设计的病理分析 通过老年病理学研究资源(GRR)。GRR将为调查人员提供唯一的 由老年病理学研究网络开发的老年病理学分析，这将允许投资者 探讨增龄及增龄干预对小鼠病理状态的影响。GRR还将 与华盛顿大学休克中心合作，继续发挥老年病理学的功能 研究网络，并向兽医病理学家推广使用老年病理学分级平台。

The Program Enhancement Core is the administrative arm of the Oklahoma Nathan Shock Aging Center and will oversee all activities conducted by the Center at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, and the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center. The Core will promote/publicize the services of the Research Cores as well as evaluate their performance. The Program Enhancement Core will also administer two novel programs: an annual Oklahoma GeroScience Symposium and the Geropatholgy Research Resource. The specific aims of the Program Enhancement Core are: Aim 1. To provide administrative/management support for the Center. The Core will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the center; will oversee budgets, including cost recovery for the Research Cores; and will promote the integration of services among the Research Cores. In addition, the Program Enrichment Core will evaluate the progress or the Center in two ways: an Internal Advisory Committee consisting of administrators and research leaders at the three host institutions that will annually evaluate the Center and the External Advisory Committee consisting of five leaders in aging who will evaluate the Center every other year . Aim 2. To promote/publicize services and activities provided by the Cores. The Core will be responsible for making the scientific community aware of services provided by the Research Cores through a series of mechanisms, e.g., a website, the Shock Centers Coordinating Center with the American Federation for Aging Research, and Core Leaders attending aging meetings such as the Gordon and Keystone Conferences and the annual meetings of the American Aging Association and Gerontological Society of America. Aim 3. To provide the intellectual and organizational leadership to stimulate interest in aging and geroscience in Oklahoma and the nation. Interest in aging and geroscience in Oklahoma City and Oklahoma as well as the nation will be stimulated through a variety of activities, e.g., organizing a seminar series in aging at OUHSC/OMRF, hosting the Summer Training Course in Experimental Aging Research when it is in Oklahoma City, and participating in the bi-annual Nathan Shock Summits at the annual meeting of the American Aging Association. Most important will be the annual Oklahoma GeroScience Symposium, which will be organized and managed by the Program Enhancement Core. Aim 4. To provide investigators with pathological analysis specifically designed for studying aging mice through the Geropathology Research Resource (GRR). The GRR will provide investigators with the unique geropathological analysis developed by the Geropathology Research Network, which will allow investogators to evaluate the effect of age and aging interventions on the pathological status of mice. The GRR will also collaborate with the University of Washington Shock Center to continue the functions of the Geropathology Research Network and promote the use of the Geropathology Grading Platform to veterinary pathologists.
