Administrative Core

Award for the Administrative Core to coordinate and oversee cancer research center activities, including management, data handling, advisory committees, and NIH/NCI compliance.

Description

The Administrative Core will provide coordination and oversight across all Center activities. It will help maximize interactions and synergies and will enable optimal use of available research infrastructure, including Core resources and services, and a state-of-the-art high-performance computing environment. It will also facilitate participation of CaST members to CSBC activities, ensure that programmatic feedback from the CSBC is integrated into the Center’s operations, and administer the one-year intra-Center pilot research projects. An effective management structure will be put in place to ensure that the Center’s complex objectives are achieved in timely fashion, including an Executive Steering Committee, a Center Administrator, and a Data Manager. The Core will support logistics for the NCI site visit, prepare progress reports, monitor compliance, conduct fiscal reviews, define metrics to assess deliverables, assemble a scientific External Advisory Committee, coordinate participation in NIH and consortium activities, and support educational programs through the Outreach core.
