Abstract

Summary - Administrative Core Scientific and administrative leadership and effective program project management of the IPCAVD is the goal of Administrative Core (Core A). The core will oversee scientific progress relative to project aims and milestones and lead scientific efforts. It will coordinate financial management, research program management, regulatory compliance and reporting functions. In addition to coordinating these activities, the Administrative Core will be responsible for promoting and documenting all aspects of scientific, IACUC and financial regulatory compliance at University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and subcontracting institutions. Staff on this core are located within the administrative offices of Dr. Andrabi, thus taking advantage of a highly experienced and integrated management team. Penn provides infrastructure support for administration, information technology, IACUC oversight and compliance, and human resources, and also provides dedicated pre- and post-award units to facilitate administrative and fiduciary compliance. Penn will provide this support for the IPCAVD. A highly functional administrative core will contribute to and facilitate the successful advancement of the proposed science. Specific aims of Admin Core are to: (i) provide scientific and administrative leadership and program coordination; (ii) ensure timely financial accounting and reporting; (iii) ensure regulatory compliance with all institutional and federal research guidelines; and (iv) develop and implement an IPCAVD communications and data sharing plan.
