## Abstract

Administrative Core – Project Summary/Abstract
The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) administration office is the principal organizational
component through which the Associate Directors, Research Program Leaders and Shared Resource
Directors execute their responsibilities to Cancer Center members. The administrative office provides
administrative and fiscal oversight of Cancer Center functions. These functions include grant development;
human resources; communications; Cancer Center Support Grant management; Cancer Center, Clinical Trial
Office and shared resource financial administration; outreach and information dissemination; and information
technology. The aims of the administrative office are to:
1. Provide direction, leadership and cost effective management to allow efficient use of resources for KUCC
 members across campuses and throughout its consortium partners;
2. Establish and maintain consistent information organization and dissemination among research programs
 and shared resources to ensure aims are met;
3. Enhance research and education opportunities for KUCC members, students and post-doctoral fellows by
 providing strategies that encourage and facilitate collaborative, cross-disciplinary investigations across
 campuses and consortium partners; and
4. Impact cancer in KUCC's catchment area by leveraging consortium partners, key stakeholders, community
 advocates and regional leaders to develop and promote research collaboration and implementation of
 evidence-based cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship practices through community
 partnerships directed toward urban underserved and rural communities.
The KUCC Senior Leadership team is made up of the Director, Deputy Director, Associate Directors and the
Chief Operating Officer. This group meets every other week to evaluate cross-programmatic and multi-campus
activities including pilot project programs, research symposia, seminars and conferences; review the progress
of the research programs and shared resources; and discuss and make decisions related to the budget,
resource allocation, membership, space, leadership appointments and strategic initiatives. This group aims to
advance the cancer focus of KUCC by fostering collaborative initiatives, defining areas of strength, addressing
areas of weakness and integrating basic scientists and clinicians for both the advancement of basic
discoveries and training and educational efforts.
