Operations Core

我们提出了一个新颖的个性化干预方案，该方案是由我们在老年抑郁症患者中的工作所激发的。 不良后果的风险和研究很少针对的环境。我们的干预措施将被开发 联合土著社区服务，包括临床知情的治疗算法，有针对性的 培训社区工作者，以及社区服务的组织变革。 为了迎接这些挑战，OG必须作为ACISR的枢纽，并：1。利用我们的组织 将研究活动整合到一个有凝聚力的无缝工作系统中的经验， 创新，最大限度地提高ACISR的研究能力，并确保研究卓越; 2。表示我们 伦理、科学和后勤支持以及工作人员培训的研究结构; 3.依靠我们的“专业知识”， 历史和明确的计划，与社区机构建立持续的伙伴关系， 他们; 4。利用我们在数据管理和分析方面的严谨方法;以及5.使我们的 经验和对职业发展的承诺。这些任务被整合到5个单位： 行政单位（Au）：Au综合了ACISR的研究、方法、社区和培训 活动和伦理问题纳入一个有凝聚力的科学计划，并开发操作平台， 促进创新，确保研究的卓越性和效率，并促进传播。 干预措施管理股：干预措施管理股为受资助和试点项目提供科学和后勤支助。 研究结果预测因素、制定干预措施、道德审查、设计、工作人员培训，以及 ACISR及其社区合作伙伴的协议实施。 社区网络股（CNU）：CNU培养和维持与社区机构的伙伴关系 目的是进行合作研究，以提高经常被忽视的护理质量， 抑郁的老年人，有不良后果的风险。 生物统计和数据管理部门（BDM）：BDM提供以下方面的专业知识、质量控制和培训： 设计、数据管理和数据分析。 培训和职业发展股（TCU）：TCU促进研究培训和职业发展， 在康奈尔大学的老年情绪障碍，并提供在国家一级的职业发展的领导。

We propose a novel program of personalized interventions stimulated by our work with depressed elders at risk for adverse outcomes and with settings rarely targeted by research. Our interventions will be developed jointly with indigenous community services and consist of clinically-informed treatment algorithms, targeted training of community workers, and organizational changes of community services. To meet these challenges, the OG must serve as the ACISR's hub and: 1. Utilize our organizational experience in integrating research activities into a cohesive, seamlessly-working system that fosters innovation, maximizes the ACISR's research capacity and ensures research excellence; 2. extend our research structures for ethics, scientific and logistic support, and training of staff; 3. rely on our "know-how", history and explicit plans in developing sustained partnerships with community agencies and learning from them; 4. capitalize on our methodological rigor in data management, and analysis; and 5. bring to bear our experience and commitment to career development. These tasks are integrated in 5 Units: Administrative Unit (AU): The AU synthesizes the ACISR's research, methodology, community, and training activities and ethical concerns into a cohesive scientific program and develops the operational platform to foster innovation, ensure research excellence and efficiency, and promote dissemination. Interventions Management Unit (IMU): The IMU provides scientific and logistic support to funded and pilot studies on predictors of outcomes, intervention development, ethics review, design, training of staff, and protocol implementation by the ACISR and its community partners. Community Network Unit (CNU): The CNU cultivates and sustains partnerships with community agencies with the goal to conduct collaborative research aiming to improve the quality of care of often neglected, depressed elders, at risk for adverse outcomes. Biostatistics and Data Management Unit (BDM): The BDM provides expertise, quality control, and training in design, data management and data analysis. Training and Career Development Unit (TCU): The TCU fosters research training and career development in geriatric mood disorders at Cornell and offer leadership in career development at a national level.
