## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY – ADMINISTRATIVE CORE 
Cornell University will be the lead institution of our Center on the Physics of Cancer Metabolism that 
constitutes a multi-institutional effort involving 20 key personnel from Cornell University Ithaca, Weill Cornell 
Medicine (WCM), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), University of Texas MD Anderson 
Cancer Center, University of California – San Francisco, and Purdue University. The Administrative Core team 
will be responsible for organizing and providing resources for effective management and oversight of these 
individual sites. Given our focus on collaboration, we will use a Multiple PI Leadership approach drawing on the 
physical sciences and cancer biology expertise of both PIs as well as their respective home institutions. 
Guidance to the PIs will be provided through the Center Advisory Committee. Furthermore, a Center 
Administrator will manage day-to-day activities, including subcontracts with our partner institutions and all 
scientific, administrative, budgetary, and operational aspects of the Center. The overall goal of the 
Administrative Core will be to guarantee effective administrative and organizational capabilities both 
within our Center and with the broader Physical Sciences Oncology Network (PSON). This goal will be 
accomplished through 3 specific aims. Aim 1: To manage and effectively deploy the Center's resources to 
advance transdisciplinary physical sciences research, training, and outreach. Aim 2: To enhance the exchange 
of information and ideas among all Center researchers as well as with the PSON. Aim 3: To establish 
Committees for Center guidance and institute appropriate infrastructure and processes for transparent, 
effective, and iterative evaluation of all Center activities. The Administrative Core will synergize with all 
components of the Center to ensure successful integration of Projects and Cores, the Education and Outreach 
Unit, and research performed through Pilot and Transnetwork Projects.
