## Abstract

SUMMARY 
 The objective of the Administration Core is to support the performance of the research outlined in this 
application for the Dengue Human Immune Program Consortium (DHIPC). The Administration Core is directed 
by the application's Principal Investigator (PI), Ana Fernandez-Sesma, PhD, with the help of a full time Project 
Coordinator, and the co-principal investigator, Eva Harris, PhD. The Administration Core will have an 
organizational structure with defined roles for administrative and scientific staff. It will oversee the activities 
involving research, collaboration and communication. Ongoing assessments will ensure the appropriate use of 
resources. The Administration Core will create an integrated research environment to overcome the scientific 
and management problems that are a natural part of a multi-center collaboration. An Internal Scientific 
Advisory Group (ISAG) composed by the Project and Core leaders will act in an advisory capacity, providing 
perspectives on the program research. A strategic plan developed by the ISAG will provide a framework to 
identify and prioritize needs and guide the future of the research program. The plan will place special emphasis 
on addressing the organizational, operational, and scientific issues identified by the participating collaborators, 
as well as in synergizing with other investigators within the HIPC network. Its purpose will be to maintain 
academic and research excellence, and readiness to exploit new scientific opportunities. The Administration 
Core will also convene an External Scientific Advisory Group (ESAG) that will act in an advisory capacity, 
providing external perspectives on the program research and helping to expand and intensify external 
collaborations. The proposed activities and services of the Administrative Core are 1) to perform program 
coordination, communication, and management, 2) to prioritize, allocate, and manage resources and 3) to 
have a management plan for fiscal accountability and communication within the program.
