Administrative Core

PROJECT SUMMARY ADMINISTRATIVE (ADMIN) CORE In support of our mission to create a consortium to Generate, Characterize, and Validate Marmoset Models of Alzheimer’s Disease (MARMO-AD), the Administrative Core (ADMIN) will oversee all administrative and scientific functions of the MARMO-AD Consortium. The overarching goals of the ADMIN Core are to ensure that MARMO-AD achieves its larger strategic goals as well as specific project aims and milestones. The ADMIN Core oversees all administrative and integrated scientific functions across the research projects and cores, and will execute its duties with guidance from the Consortium Steering Committee (CSC) and the Institutional Advisory Committee (IAC). The ADMIN Core will operate under the leadership of the contact PD/PI Dr. Silva at The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (PITT), with co-leadership from Consortium PD/PIs Dr. Stacey Rizzo at PITT and Dr. Gregory Carter at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX); and involvement from additional consortium investigators and managers. The ADMIN Core will provide leadership and oversight in three key areas: 1) Scientific and technical strategy oversight and implementation; 2) Establishing and monitoring milestones of the research projects and cores, including coordinating the activities and interactions of the Project and Core Investigators to maximize resources; and 3) community engagement and outreach including sharing of models, data, resources, and protocols. The Specific Aims of the ADMIN Core are: 1. Deliver effective and efficient management, oversight, and evaluation of Consortium activities. 2. Facilitate interactions between and amongst cores to ensure timely and successful completion of project and core aims and milestones. 3. Provide outreach and engagement with the broader research community.
