Administrative Core

拟议的行政核心建立在目前ACCN领导结构的成功经验基础上。拟议的结构将由设在肯塔基大学(英国)的总部单位领导，并由ACCN拟任主任迪格南博士领导。行政核心还将包括英国的Nancy Schoenberg博士、俄亥俄州立大学(OSU)的Electra Paskett博士、东北地区的Samuel Lesko博士 来自宾夕法尼亚州立大学(PSU)的Eugene Lengerich博士、西弗吉尼亚大学(WVU)的Pamela Brown女士以及弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学(VT)的Karen Roberto博士。这个团队在过去的五年里一直在一起工作，在这段时间里，他们在战略规划和项目管理方面积累了丰富的经验。 ACCN的总体战略规划将继续通过三种通信方式进行：电子邮件通信、每月电话会议和半年度项目会议。半年一次的面对面会议是进行规划的重要机会，与会人员包括社区顾问、调查人员、受训人员、NCI CRCHD项目主任和项目工作人员。这些为期两天的会议对ACCN的管理至关重要，因为它们为社区咨询委员会和调查人员之间的长时间讨论提供了机会，为分享研究进展提供了一个场所，为提出新研究提供了一个论坛，为与当地社区建立非正式联系提供了机会，并为CRCHD项目监测提供了机会。正如我们所做的那样 在当前的ACCN项目中完成，会议的地点将在每个ACCN地区轮换。ACCN的第一次会议将于2010年秋季在弗吉尼亚州的布莱克斯堡举行。

The proposed Administrative Core builds upon the successful experience of the current ACCN leadership structure. The proposed structure will be led by a Headquarters unit located at the University of Kentucky (UK) and directed by Dr. Dignan, proposed ACCN Director. The Administrative Core will also include Dr. Nancy Schoenberg, UK, Dr. Electra Paskett, The Ohio State University (OSU), Dr. Samuel Lesko, Northeast Regional Cancer Institute, Dr. Eugene Lengerich, Penn State University (PSU), Ms. Pamela Brown, West Virginia University (WVU), and Dr. Karen Roberto, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT). This team has been working together for the past five years and, over that time, has amassed extensive experience with strategic planning and project management. Overall strategic planning for the ACCN will continue to take place through three means of communication; email correspondence, monthly conference calls and semi-annual project meetings. Semi-annual face-to-face meetings are an essential opportunity for planning and will include community advisors, investigators, trainees, the NCI CRCHD Program Director, and project staff. These 2-day meetings are critical to management of the ACCN as they provide opportunities for lengthy discussions between the Community Advisory Committee and investigators, a venue for sharing research progress, a forum for proposing new research, an opportunity for informal networking with the local community, and an opportunity for CRCHD project monitoring. As we have done in the current ACCN project, the locations for the meetings will rotate through each ACCN region. The first meeting ofthe ACCN will be held in the fall of 2010 in Blacksburg, VA.
