Administrative Core

我们建议建立预防青少年早期多种问题中心。中心 青少年早期预防需要整合多种学科和方法， 与减少青春期早期多种问题的流行有关。该中心将汇集 来自五个组织的科学家，俄勒冈州研究所，家庭和儿童中心和 俄勒冈州大学暴力和破坏性行为研究所，俄勒冈州社会学习中心， 和帕克斯研究所该P30中心赠款将创建三个核心，以整合和支持多达15个 研究项目。这些基本和应用项目涉及家庭、学校、同伴、邻里和社区 对物质使用、反社会行为、抑郁和高危性行为的影响。它们包括 ：传播经验支持的做法和工作， ：比较用于分析复杂、多层次数据集的统计技术。 行政核心旨在通过正式和非正式渠道， 机制等将有一个执行委员会，由项目PI和当选的研究人员组成。的 咨询委员会将包括五名杰出的科学家，公共教育总监和两名 其他教育家。中心主任将是安东尼·比格兰和副主任托马斯·迪希恩。 使用一套管理技术，在过去的25年里，ORI已经发展，行政 核心将定期召开中心工作人员会议，并促进正式和非正式的互动。 一个理论发展委员会将阐明一个全面的理论， 青少年发展，可以指导进一步的研究。根据中心研究者的输入，它将定义一个 理论框架，然后将促进进一步的讨论，以达成一个理论框架， 模型，包括对青少年早期发展的多层次影响和相互作用 在影响中。具体的，可测试的模型和假设将从这项工作中得出，这将指导 核心方法论的分析。研究发展委员会将确定最高优先事项 搜索由中心开发的项目。根据中心研究者的输入，将定义一个或两个 中心优先发展的研究项目。科学家发展委员会将 培养学生和早期职业科学家的发展。

We propose to create the Center for the Prevention of Multiple Problems in Early Adolescence. A center on early adolescent prevention is needed to integrate the multiple disciplines and methodologies that are relevant to reducing the prevalence of multiple problems in early adolescence. The Center will bring together scientists from five organizations, Oregon Research Institute, the Center for Families and Children and the Institute on Violence and Destructive Behavior at the University of Oregon, Oregon Social Learning Center, and Paxis Institute. This P30 Center grant would create three Cores to integrate and support as many as 15 research projects. These basic and applied projects address family, school, peer, neighborhood and community nfluences on substance use, antisocial behavior, depression, and high-risk sexual behavior. They include :esearch on the dissemination of empirically supported practices and work developing, refining, and :omparing statistical techniques for the analysis of complex, multi-level data sets. The Administrative Core is designed to facilitate integration and synergy through formal and informal mechanisms. There will be an Executive Committee consisting of Project PI's and elected research staff. The Advisory Committee will include five prominent scientists, the Superintendent of Public Instruction and two other educators. The Center Director will be Anthony Biglan and the Associate Director, Thomas Dishion. Using a set of management techniques that have evolved at ORI over the last 25 years, the Administrative Core will convene regular meetings of the Center staff and facilitate formal and informal interactions. A Committee on Theory Development will articulate a comprehensive theory of the influences on early adolescent development that can guide further research. With input from Center investigators, it will define a theoretical framework in broad outline, and will then facilitate further discussions to arrive at a theoretical model that encompasses the multiple levels of influence on early adolescent development and the interactions iamong influences. Specific, testable models and hypotheses will be derived from this work that will guide the analyses of the Methodology Core. A Committee on Research Development will define the highest priority Search projects to be developed by the Center. With input from Center investigators it will define one or two gh priority research projects to be developed by the Center. A Committee on Scientist Development will rture the development of students and early career scientists.
