## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT-- ADMINISTRATIVE CORE 
The primary goal of the Administrative Core of the MADRES Center for Environmental Health Disparities 
(“MADRES Center”) is to provide an efficient infrastructure coordinating and facilitating activities across the 
Center and to promote scientific integration and community engagement with the ultimate goal of achieving 
health and environmental equity among health disparity populations. The overarching goal of the Administrative 
Core is to ensure multidisciplinary interactions among clinical, social and public health scientists and community 
engagement faculty and staff to enhance a world-class research and community engagement and dissemination 
program in environmental health disparities. The Administrative Core oversees an Executive Committee of 
project and core leaders to foster scientific interaction and coordinate internal/external activities. Monthly 
meetings are held to present research challenges and progress in more detail and to explore opportunities for 
scientific interaction across the three projects, the Investigator Development Core (IDC) and the Community 
Engagement and Dissemination (CEDC) Core. An External Advisory Committee meets annually to review 
progress and provide evaluation and advice. All meetings and workshops are organized with Administrative Core 
support. In support of the MADRES Center, the Administrative Core will accomplish the following Specific Aims: 
(1) Coordinate a program of research that maximizes synergies across projects and cores with the goal of 
understanding and intervening on the prevalent disparities in women’s mental health and cardiovascular risk in 
the postpartum years; (2) Facilitate translation, dissemination and community engagement activities to help 
identify opportunities for multi-directional and collaborative community, clinical, research and stakeholder 
partnerships; (3) Provide fiscal management oversight and reporting and coordinate interactions with 
NIMHD/NIEHS/ NICHD; and (4) Foster the next generation of independent scientists in environmental health 
disparities research in partnership with the Investigator Development Core.
