Abstract

Project Summary The Administrative Core will provide central coordination and administration for the entire program. It will maintain all documentation pertaining to budgets and regulatory matters. The core will coordinate i) activities with administrative staff responsible for the conduct of the program at the partner institutions, ii) timely and accurate reporting on scientific progress to the NCI and financial matters, iii) semi-annual internal advisory board (IAB) meetings, iv) monthly Data Clubs, v) regularly scheduled and ad hoc P01 leader meetings, and vi) a yearly workshop including the External Advisory Board (EAB) members. The core will maintain records pertaining to all IACUC protocols, IRB protocols, publications, and meeting minutes and reports. The core will also incorporate a bio-statistician who will perform statistical analyses and design studies with statistical rigor in mind to maximize the power and resource utilization in all projects and cores, and make sure that P01 samples are processed in a timely manner. The core will be in charge of coordinating the exchange of information between the Projects and the Shared Resource (SR) Core through a shared Box Drive, maintaining all of the data generated by the P01, ensuring that all human specimen and mouse requests and studies are accounted for understanding IACUC and IRB protocols. Data sharing is an important aspect of this program since datasets analyzed by each project is of interest to the others, the Administrative Core will help to ensure that all projects can access and share datasets and protocols in the shared drive and the data are organized suitably and have appropriate metadata tags. Because the Administrative Core will be the central nexus in the web of collaborative sharing of samples and data, it provides essential and equal support to all three projects and the SR Core.
