# Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P50** · UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AT COLUMBIA · 2021 · $511,128

## Abstract

The purpose of the Administrative Core (Leader: Fridriksson) is to maintain oversight of each of the four
projects and two scientific cores. As during the current phase of C-STAR, core and project leaders will be in
charge of everyday operations with the Administrative Core ensuring that planned activities are initiated in an
expeditious manner and carried out as described in the research plan. In addition, the Administrative Core will
continue to manage the overall budget of the project, including financial oversight of each research site, and
conducting thorough audits of all past and planned expenditures. With the aid of the Data Coordination Unit
(DCU) at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), the Administrative Core coordinates data collection
across each clinical site – University of South Carolina (UofSC), MUSC, Johns Hopkins University (JHU), and
University of California Irvine (UCI).
During the current phase of C-STAR, the DCU has provided data management for all data collection on the
project and will continue to do so if the current proposal is funded. The DCU has been instrumental for the
success of the current trial and will aid in collection, coordination, storage, analyses, and dissemination of all
behavioral data.
The Administrative Core will continue to be responsible for coordinating communication across research cores
and projects. This includes scheduling meetings at appropriate intervals to discuss progress, coordinate similar
activities across different sites, and if needed, solve problems. These meetings focus on resolving
discrepancies in data entry and to modify data collection efforts to best fit the long-term goals of the project.
The Administrative Core supervises coordination of all meetings, including setting meeting agendas and
recording meeting minutes. To coordinate meetings across sites, we will continue to rely on conference
services provided by GoToMeeting™ (www.gotomeeting.com).
