Kansas Center for Metabolism and Obesity REsearch (KC-MORE) - Administrative Core

行政核心：项目总结 堪萨斯新陈代谢和肥胖研究中心(KC-MORE)Cobre计划的总体目标是 建立一个多学科研究中心，专注于扩大我们对治疗和治疗的知识 预防肥胖、代谢功能障碍和肥胖相关疾病状态。中心的形成 将创建基础设施，将现有的研究优势聚集在一起，以发展自我维持的研究 社区。在第一阶段，KC-MORE将由四个研究项目负责人(RPL)组成一个小组，三个 科学核心、公共研讨会系列和年度研讨会、导师和职业发展 计划、试点奖励计划以及多样性和包容性计划。由七名成员组成的指导委员会 由两个多绩效指标和核心和计划总监组成，负责管理和管理该中心，并提供建议 以及将由五名该领域专家组成的外部咨询委员会(EAC)的投入。The KC-More 将与大学和学术部门合作，在 堪萨斯大学医学中心(KUMC)。行政核心将负责总体 管理KC-MORE的行政、财政、教育和科学方面。这一核心将 发挥重要领导作用，确定中心活动的总体科学方向，协调 整合中心职能，促进内外协同互动。这个 行政核心将通过接口加强KC-More Cobre与机构之间的互动 它与KUMC的其他项目、中心和研究所的活动，并通过将研究核心与 现有的机构共享资源中心和核心。行政核心将负责 协调领导活动，安排EAC会议和项目评估，提供 向区域工作人员和核心部门提供行政和会计支助，并制定和管理研讨会 系列和教育节目。此外，核心还将容纳三项关键的额外活动。这些 是正式的指导计划，年度试点奖励计划，以及多样性和包容性计划。这个 行政核心的总体目标包括：创建中心所需的基础设施 监督，为中心提供财务和行政管理，领导指导和职业生涯 发展计划，并进行年度试点奖励计划。

ADMINISTRATIVE CORE: PROJECT SUMMARY The overall goal of the Kansas Center for Metabolism and Obesity REsearch (KC-MORE) COBRE program is to establish a multidisciplinary research center focused on expanding our knowledge for the treatment and prevention of obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and obesity-associated disease states. The formation of the Center will create the infrastructure to bring existing research strengths together to grow a self-sustaining research community. In phase one, the KC-MORE will consist of a group of four Research Project Leaders (RPLs), three scientific cores, a public seminar series and annual symposium, a Mentorship and Career Development Program, a Pilot Awards Program, and a Diversity and Inclusion Program. A seven-member Steering Committee made up of the two multi-PIs and the Core and Program Directors will govern and manage the Center with advice and input from an External Advisory Committee (EAC) that will consist of five experts in the field. The KC-MORE will partner with the University and academic departments to develop obesity and metabolism research at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). The Administrative core will be responsible for the overall management of the administrative, fiscal, educational, and scientific aspects of the KC-MORE. This Core will play an important leadership role by setting the overall scientific direction of the Center’s activities, coordinating and integrating the Center’s functions, and promoting internal and external collaborative interactions. The Administrative core will strengthen interactions between the KC-MORE COBRE and the institution by interfacing its activities with other programs, centers, and institutes at KUMC, and by integrating the research cores with existing institutional shared resource centers and cores. The Administrative core will be responsible for coordinating the leadership activities, arranging for the EAC meetings and program evaluations, providing administrative and accounting support to the RPLs and cores, and developing and administering the seminar series and educational programs. In addition, the core will also house three critical additional activities. These are the formal mentoring program, an annual pilot awards program, and a diversity and inclusion program. The overall aims of the Administrative core include the following: creating the infrastructure necessary for center oversight, providing financial and administrative management to the Center, leading the mentoring and career development program, and conducting an annual pilot awards program.
