Admin-Core

Abstract Administrative Core The Administrative Core is essential for providing the capacity necessary to coordinate, supervise, track, and manage all activities related to this ICEMR. The Administrative Core is designed to provide a supportive structure sufficient to accomplish all Center’s goals. This ICEMR’s overall goal is to investigate the complex interactions between the epidemiology of malaria and vector biology in Southeast Asia, with a focus on understanding the dynamics of human and zoonotic malaria transmission and informing strategies for malaria elimination. This activity involves many investigators based in Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, and the U.S. Thus, for our collective efforts to achieve maximal efficiency and attain our stated research goals, our activities within and outside malaria field sites must be well coordinated. Regular virtual and face-to-face meetings have been incorporated into the plan. In particular, this core activity will oversee and manage all Center’s activities, monitor progress, and ensure that project milestones are met effectively within the proposed timelines. The Administrative core will arrange the travel for ICEMR Center’s key investigators for the mandatory annual SAG meetings and annual ICEMR workshop meeting. The meetings provide opportunities for all partners to discuss and coordinate activities for the project's success.
