Administrative Core

Administrative Core Summary An efficient administrative structure is essential to the design and implementation of the TUCAIN U54 Center. The Admin Core will be focused on facilitating communication, collaboration, planning, data sharing, and scientific and financial oversight of the Shared Resource Cores and Research Projects within TUCAIN. Through the Admin Core, we will oversee all the goals of the Center and ensure their successful, cost-effect, and timely completion. The Admin Core will coordinate, schedule, and implement monthly internal teleconferencing meetings among the Center participants, and will assist the PIs of the Cores and Projects in the preparation of progress reports, internal compliance filings, and manuscripts to support the overall goals of TUCAIN. The Admin Core will be responsible for the following Specific Aims: (1) Create an administrative, communication and leadership structure for TUCAIN. (2) Provide an effective and responsive line of communication between TUCAIN members, the NIH, and other members of SeroNet. (3) Ensure the full integration of Projects and Cores within TUCAIN. (4) Assist Core and Project PIs with administrative aspects. (5) Communicate with other members of SeroNet to facilitate collaboration and coordination.
