## Abstract

Core A: Administrative Core
SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The Administrative Core (Admin Core) will be responsible for the oversight and daily functions of the SPORE and
provide organizational leadership for the overall successful conduct of the program. It will provide organizational
leadership and administrative support for all of the aspects of the SPORE, including coordination and
communication between all investigators and committee members. It will provide scientific management, including
ongoing management and scientific review of all projects and cores to ensure that the stated scientific goals of the
SPORE are met. The Core has ultimate responsibility for the overall financial management of the budget and
appropriate filing of budgetary information. It will organize regularly scheduled meetings and seminars, and
provide commitment of SPORE investigators to attend the annual NCI Translational Science Meeting and other
relevant workshops. The scheduling and organization of an annual UCLA Brain Cancer SPORE Symposium,
including participation of the External Advisory Board, will be the responsibility of the Administrative Core. This
core will oversee the administration of the SPORE Developmental Research and Career Enhancement Programs,
while providing oversight of all the established policies for recruitment of women and minorities. It will be the
liaison between the SPORE and the NCI-designated Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, other UCLA
academic and administrative bodies, NIH/NCI staff, IAB/EAB members, and patient advocacy groups. It will
ensure that appropriate regulatory approvals are maintained and will complete necessary documentation with
regulatory agencies. The Administrative Core will also ensure that data and resources are shared appropriately in
order to promote intra- and inter-SPORE collaboration, including maintenance and updating of a UCLA Brain
SPORE website. The brain tumor community at UCLA has been in existence for almost 20 years and has a track
record of productivity. As such, the leadership of the Administrative Core of this SPORE is well-integrated in many
ways to the higher administration levels of the institution.
