## Abstract

Abstract: Administrative Core
The Center for American Indian and Alaska Native Health Disparities will flow administratively through the
Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health within the Colorado School of Public Health at the
Anschutz Medical Campus of the University of Colorado Denver, and capitalize upon longstanding collaboration
with the Partners for Native Health at Washington State University and the Southcentral Foundation in
Anchorage, AK. Dr. Spero M. Manson, Distinguished Professor of Public Health and Psychiatry, Director,
Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health, and Associate Dean for Research, Colorado School of
Public Health, University of Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus, will lead the Administrative Core. In this capacity,
he and a skilled administrative team will be responsible for the overall planning and coordination of the Center,
including budget preparation and oversight of personnel appointments, space allocation, and other aspects of
management and operation. The joint duties of Dr. Lonnie Nelson, PhD, and Dr. Manson are described in the
required Multiple Principal Investigator Leadership Plan. The Administrative Core will direct and support, both
day-to-day and long-term, the two Research Projects and two other Cores that comprise the Center. It will
manage, coordinate, and supervise the full range of proposed activities; monitor progress; ensure component
plans are implemented and evaluated; verify all Center supported research – mature projects and pilot studies -
- is carried out in compliance with applicable Federal regulations and policies. The Administrative Core also
encompasses five (5) Satellite Centers that will enhance outreach to, and the engagement as well as full
participation of local key stakeholders critical to our success. Accordingly, our specific sims are to: 1) support
logistical and field operations – such as coordinating meetings and travel – across the Center's Research
Projects, Cores, Pilot Studies, and academic as well as community partnerships; 2) oversee a management plan
that stimulates, coordinates, integrates, and monitors activities and functions across Research Projects, Cores,
Pilot Studies, and partnerships; 3) supervise implementation of key strategic decisions; 4) facilitate
implementation of research regulatory processes, data sharing plans, and timely transfer of data; 5) collaborate
on program planning, review, and evaluation to ensure Center success and 6) support the Center Committees,
Satellite Centers, and facilitate integration of the Strong Heart Study Community Advisory Group, Community
Action Board, and External Scientific Advisory Committee into the overall structure and processes. Several
committees and advisory bodies comprised of representatives of key stakeholders will ensure Center alignment
