Administrative Core

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Administrative Core will serve all four Component Projects including Core B over the five years of the renewal Program Project. The overall goals of the Administrative Core are to serve as an integrated unit for the entire Program Project team to monitor and foster coordination of the scientific interactions across all Projects, maximizing collaborative interactions with each other, with the subcontract investigators as well as the Internal and External Advisory boards. This Core will be responsible for careful financial management of the Program Project, strict adherence to all NYBC and NIH guidelines and research regulations, handle new hiring associated with staffing the projects and schedule regular meetings of the entire Program Project. Aim 1 will provide supervision of program finances, administrative and secretarial support, maintenance of authorizations and adherence to institutional requirements as well as oversight of data reporting and compliance with NIH Data sharing policy and coordination of the subcontract to Montefiore Medical Center and University of Illinois, Chicago. Aim 2 will coordinate meetings of the Program Project team, including the Project Leaders, Core Leaders, all scientific and technical staff at NYBC, and all the members of the subcontract teams with the goal to facilitate sharing of systems, reagents and findings among all groups within the Program Project. Finally Aim 3 will coordinate meetings of the Internal and External Advisory Boards for the Program Project to ensure periodic review of the projects/cores, next steps and future directions with the overall advisors.
