## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – ADMINISTRATIVE CORE 
 The Administrative Core has responsibility for the management, oversight, and implementation of all 
aspects of the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC), fostering Center 
cohesiveness, and ensuring that the activities of this IDDRC, as a whole, continue to function as an integrated, 
efficient, and innovative program. The Core also promotes efficiency and cost effectiveness through 
coordination of activities across all Cores and the Research Project Component of the IDDRC, and by 
estabishing policies that ensure Core services reflect the highest standards of quality. Finally, the 
Administrative Core is responsible for fiscal management of the Center, including regular interactions with 
Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) administration, coordination of grant accounts, and development and oversight 
of cost structure and cost sharing between Center funds, other institute and Johns Hopkins University (JHU) 
resources (including the Johns Hopkins ICTR), and those of supported investigators. 
 To accomplish these goals, the Administrative Core acts as the central hub for all activities of the Center, 
facilitating interactions with other Centers, implementing collaborative efforts that support the development of 
the IDDRC National Network, providing and pursuing technological and financial resources for new and 
continuing research efforts, and contributing to the training (students, early career professionals, experienced 
faculty, public consumers). To that end, the Administrative Core drives the implementation of the overall 
IDDRC mission to serve as a national resource for intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through 
dissemination of discoveries to a wide range of stakeholders within KKI/JHU community and throughout the 
US, toward a goal of improved health, reduced morbidity, and informed public policy. This mission reflects the 
Center's overarching theme of “labs to clinics to communities.” 
 The Administrative Core is directed by IDDRC Co-Directors Drs. Mark Mahone and Ali Fatemi, both of 
whom are highly qualified clinicians, internationally recognized researchers, and importantly, experienced 
managers of large, multi-faceted Institutional programs. The Core is supported by a world-class Executive 
Committee that includes internationally recognized scientists, four current/former IDDRC Directors, the 
Kennedy Krieger UCEDD Director and the institute's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer. 
 The Aims of the Administrative Core are to: (1) provide leadership and management for all aspects of the 
IDDRC; (2) coordinate meetings both locally, and throughout the IDDRC Network; (3) set policies for 
investigators and Core faculty; (4) promote knowledge dissemination; (5) organize and coordinate training and 
technical assistance; and (6) ensure efficient implementation of the IDDRC Research Project Component.
