# Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P01** · UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA · 2021 · $198,436

## Abstract

The Administrative Core supports this interdisciplinary and multi-university team of investigators. The P01 
program has three performance sites: the USC University Park Campus (Core C, Projects 3); USC Health 
Science Campus (Core B, Projects 1 & 4); and University of California, San Diego (Project 2). The proposed 
program includes an established group of collaborative scientists with expertise in neurobiology of AD, 
population neuroimaging, mouse brain imaging, brain vascular biology, clinical neurology, cognitive 
neurosciences, neuropsychology, epidemiology of AD, large-scale air pollution modeling, environmental 
epidemiology, inhalation exposure assessment and neurotoxicology. 
 The specific aims of the Administrative Core are: 
1) Provide the integrated program leadership and coordination; 
(2) Strengthen existing partnerships, facilitate new collaborations and foster the career development of junior 
investigators/trainees across USC and participating institutes; 
(3) Assess scientific progress of the program, through joint group meetings per month, work-in-progress 
meetings per quarter, and annual meetings of the project-core leaders and key personnel with the External 
Advisory Committee; 
(4) Provide fiscal management and administrative services and monitor resources and expenditures; 
(5) Carry out the joint dissemination of study results to the broader scientific community. 
 The Administrative Core will provide leadership, oversight, planning, and coordination to facilitate 
scientific integration and synthesis across projects, promote cross-disciplinary interactions, and support multi- 
site operation of proposed program activities. The collaborative infrastructure of the proposed P01 is the 
product of the AirPollBrain (PIs: Finch & Chen), a collaborative network funded by USC since 2010. Over the 
last few years, the AirPollBrain has developed partnerships with several USC-based Centers/Institutes in brain 
sciences (e.g., ADRC/Memory and Aging Center, Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, Mark and Mary Stevens 
Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute; Institute of Developing Mind) and also helped create the new Research 
Program on Neurological Effects of Environmental Exposure for the latest renewal of Southern California 
Environmental Health Sciences Center (P30 ES007048-20). The Administrative Core is well positioned to 
leverage these institutional resources and maximize the impact of the proposed P01 research.
