## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
The PHACS Data Resources Core (DRC) (Principal Investigator (PI): George R. Seage III, DSc, MPH) will
provide overall program project management, house the merged database, and provide programming and
analytical leadership for the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS) 2020 P01 Program Project. The DRC
will continue to subcontract with PHACS clinical sites as well as Westat, Inc. (“Westat”) and Frontier Science
and Technology Research Foundation (“FSTRF”) which will support monitoring of clinical sites and data
management operations respectively.
In PHACS 2020, the aims of the DRC will be to:
 1. Develop and direct the overarching Project Management Plan for the PHACS 2020 Cores and
 Research Projects.
 2. Execute and manage subcontracts for collaborating partners and clinical sites.
 3. Provide support to the Single IRB (sIRB) process and regulatory and compliance management for
 clinical sites.
 4. Utilize its relationship with and direct access to clinical sites and their personnel, including
 Clinical Investigators, Study Staff and Community Advisory Board (CAB) members, to efficiently and
 effectively implement all PHACS 2020 Research Projects and manage and monitor performance.
 5. Serve as the centralized data and resource management entity for PHACS 2020.
 6. Provide sample tracking, manage sample storage, and oversee laboratory data management.
 7. Manage data storage and access.
 8. Oversee and execute the sharing and transfer of PHACS samples and data as well as the receipt
 of data for collaborations.
 9. Provide programming and analytical core services for integrated data analysis.
 10. Serve as a shared resource to all PHACS 2020 Cores and Research Projects.
The DRC will be based at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) under the day-to-day
administrative leadership of the PHACS Program Director, Liz Salomon, EdM. The PIs and the staff of the
PHACS Core leadership (DRC, Scientific Administrative Core, Health Education and Community Core, and
Epidemiological and Statistical Methods Core) as well as the PIs of the PHACS FSTRF subcontract, Sue
Siminski, MS, MBA and the Westat subcontract, Julie Davidson, MSN will meet weekly to facilitate coordination
between the Cores in service to the Research Projects. Monthly meetings and regular communications will
also occur between the DRC and PHACS Clinical Investigators, Study Staff and CABs.
