Administrative Core

SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – ADMINISTRATIVE CORE The Administrative Core of the Center on Causal Data Science for Child and Adolescent Maltreatment Prevention (CHAMP Center) will oversee coordination and integration of the two research projects and two other cores needed to discover, translate, and disseminate knowledge critically needed to prevent maltreatment of children. To do this, the Administrative Core will manage day-to-day operations, involving procurement, finances, personnel, planning, and budgeting; build effective processes to facilitate communication and collaboration; monitor progress towards specific milestones; engage national leaders in the academic and social services communities to draw on their expertise in maltreatment, traumatic stress, and data science; develop new collaborations; and troubleshoot problems. By ensuring the smooth and integrated operation of the fiscal, regulatory, and intellectual needs of the CHAMP Center, the Administrative Core will play an indispensable role in Center’s overall mission to discover, implement, and scale new approaches to prevent maltreatment exposure and mitigate maltreatment-related outcomes.
