## Abstract

Project Summary- CORE A - ADMINISTRATIVE
The Administrative Core of the Integrative Center for Environmental Microbiomes and Human Health
COBRE (ICEMHH) will be directed by Dr Margaret McFall-Ngai [Professor of Pacific Biosciences Research
Center (PBRC)], with the day-to-day administrative activities of the core coordinated by Prof Marilyn Dunlap
(PBRC). The principal function of the Administrative Core is to facilitate the effective and efficient establishment of this
COBRE at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa (UHM). This Core will oversee development of the Center through
the training, mentoring and graduating of the junior investigator project leaders (JIs). It will organize the
meetings of the Junior Investigator Development Committee (JIDC), composed of project mentors and core
leaders, and the Internal Advisory Committee (UHM senior faculty consultants to the Center), and will facilitate
the communication of all Center personnel. It will also organize the yearly meetings with the External Advisory
Committee (EAC). The Administrative Core will prepare progress reports and provide these to the EAC and
NIH, and serve as a dynamic link between this COBRE and UHM, other UHM COBRE's, and the UHM INBRE
program. It will also be responsible for the full logistical and administrative support of both the individual JI
projects and their supporting core facilities. Such efforts will include maintaining all aspects of the budget, staff
records, equipment inventories, and advice on manuscript preparation and support for proposal submission. The
Core will administer travel funds for JI training, and will support a yearly meeting to bring in leaders in the field of
microbiome research to discuss their work and the intellectual context in which the Center is developing.
Finally, this Core will be responsible for executing all evaluation, assessment and any corrective actions for the
COBRE. The Core will be based in space in the administrative building of PBRC on the same floor as the offices
of the PBRC Director, M McFall-Ngai, and PBRC Associate Director, M Dunlap.
