## Abstract

Core 3: Administrative Core (ADM)
PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT
The Administrative Core (ADM) of the Program Project in Structural Cell Biology of DNA Repair Machines
(SBDR) will coordinate all administrative aspects of the Program and facilitate interaction among the
Investigators. Our goal is to maintain the SBDR program coherence, focus, and progress to ensure the
successful conduct of the proposed research. Specifically, the ADM Core will provide administrative
infrastructure, ensure milestones are met, and promote interaction and efficient communication among SBDR
Projects and Cores and with the wider DNA repair and cancer research communities. The infrastructure for the
Administrative Core is already in place and operating efficiently, having been established during the fourteen-
year history of SBDR.
ADM Core goals will be accomplished through three Specific Aims:
Aim 1. Provide management support to the SBDR Program.
Aim 2. Facilitate and monitor SBDR progress and effective allocation of shared research Core efforts.
Aim 3. Ensure effective communication between the NCI, SBDR investigators, and postdoctoral fellows.
Management of the SBDR Program will be provided by an administrative structure that formally consists of
Drs. Priscilla Cooper and John Tainer as Core Director and Deputy Director, respectively, together with the
Program Administrator / Communications Coordinator and an Executive Committee comprised of the Project
Leaders, selected additional senior co-Investigators, and the EMB and SCB Core Directors. An External
Advisory Board comprised of leading investigators in DNA repair, structural biology, and cancer biology will
annually review the progress of the Program and make recommendations to the ADM Core Director and
Deputy Director.
The successful operation of the SBDR Program for 24 investigators at 18 institutions depends heavily on
excellent communications and program management capabilities. The Administrative Core serves to provide a
central point of contact for all operational matters with in SBDR. This includes providing budget management,
coordinating preparation of annual progress reports, monitoring progress toward overall SBDR goals,
maintaining effective and equitable access to the shared resource Cores, and organizing regular
teleconferences and web-based conferencing, postdoc webinars, and annual workshops for all investigators
and SBDR fellows.
