## Abstract

Administrative Core 
The Administrative Core (AC) will catalyze, coordinate, monitor, and evaluate research within the PACE. It is 
also the hub for the coordination of the scientific interactions among the integrated cores and pilot projects that 
comprise this P30 Center. The core will be directed by Robert H. Mach, Ph.D., Henry Kranzler, M.D., and Caryn 
Lerman, Ph.D., the PIs of this P30 Center application who will also ensure that the research conducted in the 
Pilot Project Core remains highly innovative and serves the programmatic interests of NIDA. Given the multi- 
disciplinary structure of the individual cores comprising the PACE, a key component of the Administrative Core 
is the Executive Committee, which consists of the PIs of the research cores and the pilot project core and other 
key personnel involved in this center. This Executive Committee will meet on a monthly basis to provide financial 
oversight and reports on the day-to-day operation of the individual cores in meeting the scientific objectives of 
the pilot projects. Another key component of the Executive Committee will be scheduling of activities associated 
with the planned preventive maintenance of the equipment and instrumentation in the Radiology Department 
and the patient recruitment in the Clinical Core. The Administrative Core will also coordinate the activities of the 
Internal Advisory Committee and the External Scientific Advisory Board. Another important function of the 
Administrative Core is to enhance interdisciplinary team science and foster synergies among the pilot projects 
and research cores, through coordination of scientific strategic planning and an annual all-day retreat (PACE 
day), and fostering overall communication and alerting PACE investigators to emerging science and research 
opportunities.
