## Abstract

SUMMARY
The Administrative Core supports the work of the five Projects and three Cores in terms of administrative
planning, oversight, and management of the Yale ACE. It will also monitor utilization of the other Core
resources and integration of the projects within the Center as well as coordinate, as appropriate, activities with
other grants within the Yale Autism Program, as well as with NIH and central data repositories such as the
National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) and the OpenfMRI database. Allocation of resources and
general oversight of the entire program project are central functions of this Core. The overall concerns of the
Administrative Core are to maintain efficiency, to ensure compliance with university and HIC regulations, and
to maintain smooth and efficient functioning of the research program as well as optimal utilization of Core
resources. The work outlined in the five Project areas is thematically connected through links in scientific
constructs, subject cohorts, methods, and data sharing, thus, this multidisciplinary Center requires a highly
integrated system of communication and coordination from the Administrative Core. An internal Executive
Committee (EC) will be convened, comprising all Project Directors (Dr. Chawarska, Dr. Constable, Dr. Ment,
and Dr. Vaccarino) and Core Leads (Dr. Powell, Dr. McPartland, Dr. Volkmar, Dr. Macari, and Dr. Chang). The
EC will oversee the entire Center, meeting on a monthly basis to set policies, engage in fiscal planning, review
progress in the specific project areas and budgets, foster integration and communication across projects and
Cores, manage data sharing across the Center, and supervise the publication plan. We will also establish an
Internal Advisory Committee, who will receive quarterly updates and meet annually with the EC to discuss
progress and provide quality control. In addition, a Center Advisory Committee will be established, including
external scientific members as well as lay members. A key effort of the Administrative Core will be to make
certain that the abundant resources of the Yale Autism Program, the Child Study Center, and the Medical
School are streamlined in support of this endeavor. A web-based collaborative work-space will be created and
a communications tool will be implemented, both of which will enhance collaboration and communication.
Coordination of the work of the Administrative Core with that of the Clinical Characterization and Statistical
Analysis Cores will be a key objective, in order to monitor use of resources, ensure compliance with NIH and
IRB regulations, and engage in overall strategic planning. Similarly, efforts to ensure effective dissemination of
research findings, community outreach, and recruitment enhancement by the Dissemination and Outreach
Core will be supported by this Core to maximize the impact of the program project. This effort will use the
expertise and experience of Drs. Chawarska and Constable in coordination of res...
