Administrative Core

行政核心将为拟议的P60卓越中心（少数民族健康和健康差异研究中心- MHDRC）第三阶段的运作提供全面协调。核心的目标是：1)为研究、研究培训和社区参与核心以及两个完整的研究项目提供中心协调；2)配置和管理人员，提供财政和监管监督；3)促进MHDRC与UAB中心和学校、阿拉巴马州历史黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）、社区合作伙伴和NIMHD之间的沟通和协调互动。这些目标将通过以下具体目标实现：目标1。高效和有效地管理MHDRC的整体运作；目标2。组织会议，维护预算和法规的记录和日志。在问题出现之前，主动识别潜在的不合规情况；目标3。通过开发和维护一个互动网站来促进沟通和提供信息，该网站将具有(1)UAB和更广泛社区的通用访问组件和(2)针对个别项目和核心的特定需求定制的密码保护内部组件；目标4。组织和安排MHDRC年度务静会，以便：(1)探索优先研究领域；(2)促进研究者之间的互动；(3)促进东南地区UAB中心和学校以及少数民族密集和非少数民族学术机构网络的形成。目标5。评估整个中心及其单位的影响和有效性。核心小组将由。Fouad（首席PI）， Scarinci （PI）和Partridge （Co-PI）通过指导委员会，并将由外部科学咨询委员会，HBCU学术咨询委员会和社区咨询委员会提供建议。MHDRC的首席PI将向UAB研究副总裁报告，副总裁向UAB总裁报告。MHDRC将利用机构支持的UAB少数民族健康与健康差异研究中心（MHRC）的基础设施，该中心成立于2003年，与我们的P60卓越中心的第一个周期相结合，并于2005年被批准为大学范围内的跨学科研究中心。通过UAB中心网络，MHDRC将有效地整合到UAB系统中，并获得额外的机构支持。

The Administrative Core will provide overall coordination for the operation of the proposed Phase III of the P60 Center of Excellence (Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Center- MHDRC). The Core's objectives are to: 1) Provide central coordination for the Research, Research Training, and Community Engagement Cores and the two full research projects; 2) Allocate and manage personnel and provide fiscal and regulatory oversight; and 3) Facilitate communication and coordinate interactions between the MHDRC and the UAB centers and schools, the Alabama Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), community partners, and the NIMHD. These objectives will be accomplished with the following specific aims: Aim 1. Efficiently and effectively manage the overall operations of the MHDRC; Aim 2. Organize meetings and maintain records and logs for budgetary and regulatory purposes. Proactively identify potential noncompliance situations before they become problematic; Aim 3. Facilitate communications and provide information via development and maintenance of an interactive website that will have (1) a general access component for the UAB and wider communities and (2) password-protected internal components tailored to the specific needs of individual projects and cores; Aim 4. Organize and staff annual MHDRC retreats to: (1) explore priority research areas; (2) facilitate interactions between researchers; and (3) stimulate the formation of a network of UAB centers and schools and minority-intensive and non-minority academic institutions in the Southeast. Aim 5. Evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the overall Center and its units. The Core will be lead by Drs. Fouad (Lead PI), Scarinci (PI), and Partridge (Co-PI) through a Steering Committee, and will be advised by External Scientific Advisory Board, HBCU Academic Advisory Council, and Community Advisory Board. The Lead PI of the MHDRC will report to the UAB Vice President for Research, who reports to UAB's President. The MHDRC will utilize the infrastructure of the institutionally supported UAB Minority Health & Health Disparities Research Center (MHRC), which was founded in 2003 in conjunction with the first cycle of our P60 Center of Excellence, and was approved as a University-Wide Interdisciplinary Research Center in 2005. Through the network of UAB centers, the MHDRC will be effectively integrated within the UAB system and receive additional institutional support.
