Planning and Evaluation

项目总结（见说明）： 规划和评价活动在KUCC的发展和稳步改进中发挥了关键作用。包括KUCC领导理事会和副主任理事会在内的多个内部委员会在主任詹森的领导下并与外部咨询委员会（EAB）协调，指导规划和评估过程。EAB在对KUCC愿景、方向、领导力、研究计划和支持基础设施的规划和评估提供外部监督方面发挥着关键作用。EAB是由KUCC领导层选择的，以匹配我们的研究计划，共享资源和行政组成部分。EAB提出了许多重要建议，例如定义KU医院和KUCC之间的关系，增加治疗试验的患者数量，为PSO申请提出时间轴，提出收紧成员标准的方法，扩大NCI资助的研究人员数量，更好地与Stowers医学研究所整合，将临床医生纳入药物发现，交付和实验治疗方案，并改善KUCC网站。 KUCC领导理事会促进中心基础、转化和临床要素之间的科学互动，规划研究项目的发展，利用KUCC资源实现最大效益，并监督KUCC项目的活动。副主任理事会评估跨计划活动，包括专题讨论会，研讨会和会议，博士前和博士后实习生津贴和KUCC试点研究赠款的分配，以及新的研究会员申请，并进行会员年度审查。每年副主任理事会审查的研究计划，共享资源和KUCC的行政职能的进展。KUCC-ADC就几乎所有问题向主任提出最终建议，包括预算，资源分配，成员，空间，领导任命和战略方向。MCA合作伙伴咨询委员会促进重点医院和研究机构在研究和教育领域的合作，并就KUCC在社区中的影响向癌症中心主任提供建议。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See Instructions): Planning and evaluation activities have played a key role in the growth and steady improvement of KUCC. Multiple internal committees including KUCC Leadership Council and Associate Directors Council guide the planning and evaluation process under the leadership of Director Jensen and in coordination with the External Advisory Board (EAB). The EAB serves a critical role in providing external oversight of planning and evaluation of KUCC vision, direction, leadership, research programs, and supporting infrastructure. The EAB was selected by KUCC leadership to match our research programs, shared resources and administrative components. The EAB has made numerous major recommendations such as defining the relationship between the KU Hospital and KUCC, increasing the number of patients on therapeutic trials, suggesting a timeline for the PSO application, suggesting ways to tighten membership criteria, expanding the number of NCI funded investigators, better integrating with the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, integrating clinicians into the Drug Discovery, Delivery and Experimental Therapeutics Program, and improving the KUCC website. KUCC Leadership Council promotes scientific interactions between the basic, translational, and clinical elements of the Center, plans development of the research programs, leverages KUCC resources for maximum benefit, and oversees activities of KUCC programs. The Associate Directors Council evaluates cross-program activities including symposia, seminars and conferences, allocations of pre-and post-doctoral trainee stipends and KUCC pilot research grants, and new research membership applications as well as conducts an annual review of membership. Each year the Associate Directors Council reviews the progress of the research programs, shared resources and administrative functions of KUCC. The KUCC-ADC makes final recommendations to the Director on practically all issues including budget, resource allocation, membership, space, leadership appointments, and strategic direction. The MCA Partners Advisory Board promotes collaboration of key hospitals and research institutions in the areas of research and education and advises the Cancer Center Director on the impact of KUCC in the community.
