Administrative Core

摘要- JHU TRAC行政核心（AC） 约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU）TRAC行政核心（AC）的总体目标是提供 全面管理、协调和监督JHU TRAC。为此，AC将召开会议， 由咨询委员会共同主任和TRAC共同方案执行主任/方案执行主任领导的TRAC指导委员会每两周举行一次会议， 该委员会由彼得罗斯·卡拉库西斯和理查德·柴森组成，并由其他五个核心预算资源调拨目标核心的主任组成。 协调委员会的任务是：（1）提供TRAC的科学和行政整合与协调; 2)为核心预算资源调拨目标提供一个中央监督和通信平台; TRAC的监管职能。咨询委员会将通过制定一个 完成TRAC科学使命的战略计划，并与发展核心协调， 赞助定期安排的科学活动，以促进创新，跨学科的合作， 为新研究者（NI）和早期研究者（ESI）提供指导和培训机会， 包括每周一次的TRAC系列研讨会，其中将重点介绍尖端方法和TRAC- 赞助每个核心的研究，以及TRAC K俱乐部和K2 R俱乐部审查NI/ESI赠款， 以及年度结核病科学会议和TRAC数据博览会。TRAC指导委员会将负责 接收和整合关于核心服务功能和效用的反馈，协调 （c）协助协调核心预算资源调拨目标内的沟通，并协助解决核心预算资源调拨目标成员之间的任何冲突。AC将 对核心预算资源调拨目标进行财政和管理监督， TRAC和NIH。咨询委员会将协助召开与国家卫生研究院和卫生部的年度方案会议。 外部咨询委员会评估TRAC的生产率和影响，并接受关于以下方面的投入： 未来的计划方向。TRAC AC将设在现有的科学、行政、 和JHU结核病研究中心（CTR）的物质基础设施，其中有相当大的 管理大型合作研究项目的经验。AC将为JHU提供附加值 核心预算资源调拨目标，促进各核心之间的协同作用;利用整个大学的其他资源，包括 CFAR、临床和转化研究所和NIH核心;加强 研究人员通过邮件列表、通讯、网站和会议;并确保总的研究成果 JHU TRAC提供的指导机会大于其各个组成部分的总和， 最终目标是培养下一代结核病研究的领导者。

ABSTRACT – JHU TRAC ADMINISTRATIVE CORE (AC) The overall goals of the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) TRAC Administrative Core (AC) are to provide overall management, coordination, and supervision of the JHU TRAC. To these ends, the AC will convene biweekly meetings of the TRAC Steering Committee, led by the AC Co-Directors and TRAC Co-PD/PIs, Drs. Petros Karakousis and Richard Chaisson, and comprising the Directors of each of the other five TRAC Cores. The AC will be tasked with: 1) Providing scientific and administrative integration and coordination of the TRAC; 2) Providing a central oversight and communications platform for the TRAC; and 3) Managing administrative and regulatory functions of the TRAC. The AC will promote scientific integration of the JHU TRAC by developing a Strategic Plan for fulfilling the TRAC’s scientific mission, and, in coordination with the Developmental Core, by sponsoring regularly scheduled scientific activities to stimulate innovative, cross-disciplinary collaborations and provide mentoring and training opportunities for New Investigators (NI) and Early Stage Investigators (ESI), including the weekly TRAC Seminar Series, which will highlight cutting-edge methodologies and TRAC- sponsored research in each of the Cores, as well as the TRAC K-Club and K2R Club for reviewing NI/ESI grants, and the annual TB Scientific Meeting and TRAC Data Fair. The TRAC Steering Committee will be responsible for receiving and incorporating feedback on the functionality and utility of Core services, coordinating communications within the TRAC, and assisting in resolving any conflicts between TRAC members. The AC will provide fiscal and regulatory oversight of the TRAC and will serve as a liaison for communications between the TRAC and the NIH. The AC will assist in convening an annual programmatic meeting with the NIH and the External Advisory Committee (EAC) to assess the productivity and impact of the TRAC and to receive input on future program directions. The TRAC AC will be housed within and leverage the existing scientific, administrative, and material infrastructure of the JHU Center for Tuberculosis Research (CTR), which has considerable experience in managing large collaborative research projects. The AC will provide added value to the JHU TRAC by promoting synergy between the Cores; leveraging other resources across the university, including the CFAR, Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, and NIH cores; enhancing communication between investigators through listservs, newsletters, a website, and meetings; and ensuring that the total research output and mentorship opportunities provided by the JHU TRAC are greater than the sum of its individual components, with the ultimate goal of producing the next generation’s leaders in TB research.
