Core A: Administrative

PROJECT SUMMARY - CORE A: ADMINISTRATIVE The Administrative Core will coordinate the scientific, administrative, and financial functions of our multi-project, multi-institution Center. It will ensure that the Center, and the work therein, performs as a cohesive and coordinated entity to maximize the impact of the associated investigators. It will build on the long-running, highly productive collaborations between the Project and Core leads and leverage the experienced administrative infrastructure at UW's Institute for Protein Design, led by Dr. Lynda Stuart, to meet the needs of the Center. The Administrative Core is a central unit overseeing and supporting all Center components (five Projects, five Cores) and will ensure that the scientific team remains focused on the main goal of the Center: to develop generalizable strategies for paramyxovirus and bunyavirus vaccine design. The Core leadership will also ensure effective communication between other ReVAMPP Centers and the NIH programmatic staff. The goals of the Core will be: 1) to provide organizational governance and oversight to the Center, 2) to ensure effective and efficient communication and collaboration between the Center members, and 3) to maximize the engagement between our Center and the broader scientific community, including the other ReVAMPP Centers.
