Description

Program Director/Principal Investigator (Last, First, Middle): Chu, Edward SHARED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center (MECC) Shared Resources (SRs) support the entire range of cancer- focused basic, clinical, translational, and population sciences and provide access to MECC members to state- of-the-art methodology and instrumentation, high-level expertise and instruction, and cost-effective sources of research support. MECC SRs are closely aligned with the scientific strategic priorities of the MECC. They greatly facilitate research investigating cancer biology at the molecular, cellular and organismic level, including the biology and signaling that are directly relevant to the unique Bronx patient population served by MECC; development and evaluation of new cancer therapeutics; and identification of genetic, epidemiological, behavioral, and social determinants of health causality in our diverse catchment area population. Additional SRs promote the acquisition, storage, and analysis of patient sample and the management and coordination of clinical trials within the MECC catchment area for ongoing cancer-focused research. MECC SRs are managed at multiple levels to ensure a high quality of services, responsiveness to MECC members, and alignment with the MECC Strategic Plan. Management tools and strategies include input to the SR directors from expert User Advisory Committees and survey data from MECC membership; monitoring of SR performance by the Shared Resource Oversight Committee (SROC), which is chaired by the Associate Director for SR; monthly Research Leadership Council (RLC) meetings with all MECC SR Directors and Program Leaders; meetings with the Excellence in Career Enrichment Leadership (ExCEL) Committee, composed of junior and mid-level faculty members; and direct reporting by the Associate Director for SR to the Senior Leadership Team of the MECC. MECC SRs are managed in partnership with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) such that MECC contributions are used to leverage substantial institutional support. As such, oversight of SR finances is conducted on a quarterly basis by the Associate Director for SR and the Deputy Director for Administration, in collaboration with senior administrative officials from the Dean’s office. Leveraging Einstein support has greatly facilitated the expansion of SR services and acquisition of innovative new instrumentation in multiple SRs. Moreover, these quarterly meetings with the Dean’s office ensure that MECC priorities are recognized. Our active engagement with MECC membership through user surveys, User Advisory Committees, Research Leadership Council, and ExCEL Committee provide critical guidance in shaping new initiatives within our MECC SR program. Future initiatives focus on developing and implementing innovative new technologies, services, and expansion of critical SR personnel; enhancing coordination between MECC SRs; expanding education and training initiatives; and expanding administrative infrastructure and support.
