# Female Reproductive Tissue Mapping Center Coordination Core

> **NIH NIH U54** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO · 2020 · $106,396

## Abstract

SUMMARY
The Coordination Core for the Female Reproductive Tissue Mapping Center (FR TMC) will be responsible for
the overall direction of the FR TMC and allocation of effort and other resources, as well as Center
management, administration, regulatory compliance, data and resource sharing, and coordination of
communication among the component Cores and Projects in the FR TMC. The CC will also facilitate
interactions with the other TMCs and the Transformative Technology Development (TTP), Rapid Technology
Integration (RTI), HuBMAP Integration, Visualization, and Integration (HIVE) Collaboratory, and Demonstration
Project components of HuBMAP. The personnel in the CC will include the FR TMC Steering Committee
(comprised of the Center Director, Project Leads, and other Co-Investigators), and the program management
staff (Program Manager, Lead Clinical Research Coordinator, and Administrative Assistant). The
responsibilities of the CC will be organized in five Aims: 1) Administration (encompassing management of the
Center’s budget and organizing travel to annual HuBMAP investigator meetings, scientific conferences, and
between FR TMC sites at UC San Diego and Jackson Labs); 2) Program management (including: setting and
tracking priorities, goals, and timelines; developing Standard Operating Procedures; tracking samples,
metadata, and data; and coordinating preparation of progress reports, abstracts, and manuscripts); 3)
Regulatory compliance (including establishment and maintenance of Institutional Review Board approvals,
Material Transfer Agreements, Data Use Agreements, and Confidential Disclosure Agreements); 4)
Communication management (including: participation in HuBMAP Working Groups and Data Release Teams;
and scheduling meetings and conference calls, managing agendas, and keeping minutes); and 5) Data and
resource sharing (including working with the DAC to prepare data and metadata for transfer to the HIVE and
for public release, and coordinating transfer of materials among FR TMC labs and between the FR TMC and
other HuBMAP centers. The structure and smooth operation of the CC will enable us to efficiently collect high-
quality biospecimens and generate a broad array of imaging and molecular profiling data using state-of-the art
spatial transcriptomic and proteomic technologies. The establishment of detailed Standard Operating
Procedures by the CC will ensure the rigor and reproducibility of our results. The CC will also facilitate rapid
data and resource sharing with the HIVE, other HuBMAP Centers, and the broader scientific community.
