Administrative Core

Administrative Core. Abstract
The Administrative Core provides a critical structure that promotes scientific communication, sound budget
management, sharing of data and ideas, and timely reporting of progress. The Core will schedule regular
meetings between project participants, insure integration of the PPG with the Einstein Cancer Center, and
organize periodic reviews by the Internal and External Advisory Committees. The overall scientific direction
of the Program Project is provided by interactions within the Scientific Steering Committee, which is composed of the
Program Director/PI, the Project and Core Leads and Co-Leads, and the Internal Advisor (Einstein Cancer Center
Director), with advice and consultation from the Internal and External Advisory Committees. The Core will provide
an administrative structure to facilitate these interactions, and for the review and evaluation of the Program
Project on an ongoing basis. Most important, The Core will promote the integration of scientific investigation
to effectively achieve the goals of the Program Project.
Specific Aim 1. Provide the Projects and Cores with administrative and secretarial support to carry
out the scientific goals of the Program Project, its general administration, fiscal oversight, and
communication among participants in the program.
Specific Aim 2. Provide a centralized structure for the coordination of research meetings, travel
arrangements, journal clubs, work in progress presentations, seminars and retreats.
Specific Aim 3. Provide overall support for reporting activities, including review by the internal and
external advisory committees and the preparation of progress reports and renewal applications.
