Administrative Core

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT: Administrative Core The Administrative Core will support the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) SPORE in Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancer projects and investigators by 1) managing SPORE resources, communication and outreach, 2) fostering the interaction among investigators, collaborators, other SPOREs (including the VICC SPORE in Breast Cancer), the patient and advocate community, and 3) maintaining close ongoing interactions with the National Cancer Institute Translational Research Program.
