The Core will schedule investigator meetings and conference calls, produce a quarteriy report to keep sites abreast ofthe progress ofthe studies, report to the NIH Steering Committee (and Core personnel will attend Steering Committee meetings), and ultimately assist in manuscript preparation, research reports and correspondence for investigators. The grant requires specimen and clinical data collection at the sites, transmission ofthe specimens to the central labs, and transmission of the clinical data to the multicenter database. The Core will facilitate seamless interaction between sites. Project, and Core personnel. The Core will be responsible for the disbursement of funds and for the preparation of the annual progress reports for the NIH.
