## Abstract

Project Summary
The Administrative Core (AC) of the NORC-H is critical to its success. The NORC-H AC at will implement the
overall goals of the Center through an efficient and restructured administrative core, which has worked to
identify a strong research base and implement a number of programs in the last 2 years of the grant cycle
under Dr. Grinspoon's leadership. The NORC-H has undergone a reorganization, under the leadership of Dr.
Grinspoon, in consultation with the EAB, to facilitate the needs of the Center and the greater nutrition and
obesity research community, consistent with the overall emphasis of the NORC Program, providing a greater
emphasis on clinical and translational research, with addition of 2 new cores, Metabolic Phenotyping and
Metabolic Imaging and retention of the highly successful Genomics and Cell Biology Core. In addition, the
NORC-H has restructured its administration of core recharge supplementation to further insure core use and
incentivize use of the cores by junior investigators. Moreover, with the added emphasis on clinical and
translational research, the NORC-H has expanded its research base of member performing relevant work, and
added a new statistical consultative program for clinical grants that will be situated within the administrative
core, as part of the Clinical Element of the Center. The NORC-H will maintain its highly successful P&F
Program and enrichment programs, which have been reorganized to include a well-received new symposia for
P&F awardees, and greater consultative and educational outreach opportunities and programs made available
from each core, and an increased emphasis on translational P&F funding. The Core will be guided in its
administration of the grant by an EAB and a strong Executive Committee made up of the Center Director and
Associate Directors, Core Directors, Dr. Betensky (Biostatistics), Enrichment and P&F Directors, as well as
Drs. Willett and Walker, from the prior EC, to ensure continuity and successful liaising with Harvard Division of
Nutrition (Walker) and School of Public Health (Willett). The overarching goal of the Center, as outlined in the
Center Overview, is to enable significant advancement in nutrition and obesity research, through cultivation of
a strong research base, created around key thematic interests, provision of P&F funding to insure promotion
and retention of promising junior investigators to the field, creation of valuable, state of the art, highly utilized
core services, dissemination of findings and advancing nutrition and obesity education and research. The Aims
of the Administrative Core are to enable the overall goals of the grant through a strong administrative process
and structure.
