Administrative Core

该伙伴关系的NCCU部分将通过Faye Calhoun博士领导的生物医学/生物技术研究所（bbi）完善的基础设施进行管理。理查德森博士和陈博士是国立中央大学生物研究所的研究人员，也是生物系的教员。该研究所成立于1999年，自那时以来已经成功地管理了许多研究者发起的研究资助，包括与其他机构签订分包合同和协议。bri的行政组成部分包括设施管理、赠款管理、业务和人事管理协助的全职职位。癌症研究项目和心脏代谢研究项目有全职项目助理，神经科学项目有兼职助理。这些人在奖前和奖后的管理方面经验丰富，效率高。他们直接向费伊·卡尔霍恩博士报告。该组有效地与中央大学赞助研究、采购及人际关系办公室合作。最重要的是，bri的行政人员管理了合作协议，并协调了许多项目，这些项目涉及来自NCCU许多单位的研究科学家以及与外部大学的合作伙伴关系。bri在学校内的地位是作为跨校园倡议的协调组织。有能力获得院长和系主任的参与与合作，一些调查人员将向他们汇报工作。

The NCCU component of the Partnership will be administered and managed through the well-established infrastructure of the Biomedical/Biotechnology Research Institute (BBRI) under the leadership of Dr. Faye Calhoun. Drs Richardson and Chen are investigators with research programs in this Institute within NCCU as well as faculty members in the Department of Biology. This Institute was established in 1999 and since that time has successfully managed many investigator-initiated research grants including the development of sub-contracts and agreements with other institutions. The administrative components of the BBRI include full time positions for facilities management, grants management operations and personnel management assistance. There are full time program assistants for the Cancer Research Program and for the Cardio-metabolic Research Program and a part-time assistant for the Neuroscience Program. These persons are highly experience and effective in pre-and post award grants management. They report directiy to Dr. Faye Calhoun. This unit is effective in working with the NCCU Office of Sponsored Research, Procurement and Human Relations. Most importantly, the BBRI administrative staff has managed cooperative agreements and coordinated many programs that involve research scientists from many units within NCCU as well as Partnerships with external universities. The BBRI has the status within the university to serve as the coordinating organization for trans-campus initiatives. The ability exists to gain the participation and cooperation of the Deans and Department Chairs to which some investigators will be reporting. The NCCU-AC will focus in five functional areas of the Partnership: (a) oversight, (b) coordination, (c) support and logistics, (d) recruitment) and (e) evaluation. The NCCU team assembled by Drs. Richardson, Chen, and Calhoun will facilitate the coordination and communication necessary to provide a seamless, partnership. The specific aims of the administrative core are as follows: 1. Provide scientific and administrative leadership for the development and maintenance of the Partnership 2. Assure that Partnership meetings, conference calls and retreats are conducted in a quality manner and that records of all interactions are kept 3. Provide support for the timely preparation of reports, publications and serve as the central focus for the development of grant applications resulting from the research 4. Recruit new investigators and staff as indicated above 5. Recruit, select and mentor undergraduate students and monitor their progress in developing as cancer research scientists 6. Support the development and mentorship of investigators 7. Evaluate the progress of the partnership through the administration of the Internal Advisory Committee and the Program Steering Committee.
