## Abstract

Administration 
Project Summary 
The Administration Core will be the hub of the Center for Engineering Complex Tissues (CECT, [sees-t]) 
with the overall objective of ensuring smooth information exchange, planning and collaboration within the 
Center, timely achievement of milestones and aims for each project, appropriate availability and utilization of 
center resources, dissemination of results, and evaluation of the Center’s products. The Administration Core 
will pursue three key aims for maximally efficient administration and execution of center activities, Core 
operations, and successful completion of the Specific Aims of each project. Through Aim 1, the Core will 
Support and Monitor the Programmatic and Synergistic Activities of the Center. Thus, the Core will 
provide budgetary and logistical support for the Center, support operating procedures, resources, and 
compliance to accomplish project goals within budget, and will support the establishment and operation of 
Advisory Committees that will guide strategy, monitor progress, and resolve conflicts. Through Aim 2, the Core 
will provide Direct Communications and Management Strategies Within and Beyond the Center through a 
Center website that will enhance awareness to the research community, ensure sharing of data and integration 
of results to enable robust joint publications in outstanding peer-reviewed journals, coordinate an annual 
meeting and other network activities, and provide forums for discussion of data, developments, integration, and 
translation. Through Aim 3, the Core will Support Activities Related to the Health and Growth of the 
Center by developing review and implementation plans for Collaborative Projects and Service Projects, as well 
as organizing Center evaluations. The staff will include Center Director Dr. John Fisher, Associate Director Dr. 
Antonios Mikos, and three Center Administrators. Drs. Fisher and Mikos have substantial experience to lead 
this Center. Dr. Fisher has led the development of the integrative framework for the Center and has 
considerable experience managing large scientific endeavors. This strong foundation for effective 
administrative leadership will maximize productivity, enhance ongoing collaborations, and ensure sound fiscal 
and compliance management for this BTRC.
