# Core A: Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P01** · NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY · 2021 · $122,258

## Abstract

The primary function of the Administrative Core (Core A) is to provide the overall coordination of logistical
and financial components of the Program Project, as well as to serve as an administrative structure that
initiates and facilitates harmonization between the three projects and their supporting Cores. To serve these
two interrelated functions, Core A has the following objectives:
1. Facilitate the complex interdepartmental and inter-institutional coordination of the various aspects of
 research administration. Core A will serve as the central liaison with departmental, administrative,
 and institutional oversight offices of both participating universities.
2. Ensure appropriate fiscal management of the Program Project by maintaining the records and
 accounting for all expenditures, maintain personnel records, prepare all required narrative and fiscal
 reports to ensure transparency of expenditures, communicate changes in fiscal matters in a timely
 manner to the Project and Core PIs and their respective units as required.
3. Prepare the annual Progress Report and applications supplemental funding for the Program project
 when appropriate.
4. Organize the bimonthly meetings of the Project leaders, co-investigators and internal Steering
 Committee, monthly teleconferences and quarterly meetings of the study coordinators (projects and
 cores), the annual meetings of the External Review Committee, the visits of external consultants, and
 bimonthly seminars that will include other collaborators and trainees associated with the Program
Project.
5. Coordinate recruitment efforts of the human participants for Projects 1 and 2.
6. Promote intellectual discourse among the Projects, and facilitate the interaction with other funded
 programs within and outside of our institutions in order to maximize the impact of the Program Project
 to the scientific community.
Overall, Core A will ensure that the scientific output of the Program Project is greater than the sum of the
contributions of the individual projects.
