## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – Administrative Core
The overall goal of the Administrative Core is to provide leadership, coordination and oversight for the
proposed UCSF Center for the Advancement of Precision Medicine in Rheumatology. Under the direction of
Drs. Lindsey Criswell (PD) and Mary Nakamura (Associate PD), the Administrative Core will serve as an entry
portal for researchers interested in pursuing precision medicine studies in rheumatic diseases. The
Administrative Core will work to address challenges facing researchers considering precision medicine studies
in rheumatic diseases identified at our institution. Specifically, we will work to bridge the current gaps between
clinicians seeing rheumatic disease patients, basic researchers developing cutting-edge technologies, and
bioinformatics experts capable of integrating complex streams of data for analysis. We will provide
consultative services to match investigators with available resources and will coordinate referrals to the three
Resource Cores of the Center: 1) Human Subjects and Clinical Phenotyping (HSCP) Core, 2) Genomics and
Molecular Resources (GMR) Core, and 3) Integrative Bioinformatics (IB) Core. Thus, the Administrative Core
will provide a structure to support both Center Investigators and the Resource Cores. The Administrative Core
will provide administrative and financial oversight for all the Resource Cores. The Administrative Core will also
coordinate membership, communications and an enrichment program that will include seminars, training
workshops, a mentoring program and a Pilot Grant program. By providing training and funding opportunities
for use of the Resource Cores, in addition to outreach, we will work to attract new investigators to focus their
precision medicine research on rheumatic diseases. By streamlining complex tasks through our Resource
Cores, we will promote the development of innovative studies in rheumatic diseases as well.
The Administrative Core will accomplish these goals through the following Specific Aims:
 1) Provide leadership and coordinate oversight of the overall Center.
 2) Provide financial management support for the Resource Cores and Pilot Grant recipients.
 3) Facilitate communication and coordination between the Center leadership, Resource Cores, Center
 membership and the UCSF research community.
 4) Promote enrichment activities that enhance interest in rheumatic disease and highlight the novel
 resources and expertise provided by the Center Resource Cores.
 5) Administer a Pilot Grant program to enable development of novel precision medicine research in
 rheumatic disease.
The Administrative Core will support the Center in its goal to facilitate and enhance precision medicine studies
in rheumatology and will foster new collaborations, innovative approaches and new investigators in their
studies of patients with rheumatic diseases.
