## Abstract

Program Summary/Abstract: Administrative Core 
The goals of Administration and Senior Leadership of the University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) are to 
define the vision of the Center and to create an environment that sustains this vision. The specific goals of 
Administration are to provide reliable, value-creating administrative, information technology, and decision- 
making support services that advance the UACC's research mission and to ensure that resources are optimally 
allocated to further the Center's vision and values. These goals are achieved by providing a Senior Leadership 
team with exceptional expertise and vision, strong strategic planning skills, and the ability to mobilize the 
support required to bring initiatives to fruition and by providing administrative support for the planning and 
implementation of the initiatives identified by the Director and Senior Leadership team as well as its 
governance activities. In support of the UACC's research mission, Administration is charged with coordinating 
Center activities, integrating them within the institutional structure, ensuring effective communication among all 
stakeholders, and providing administrative support and oversight in the areas of Informatics, Finance, Clinical 
Trials, Communications, Human Resources, Research Administration, Facilities, and Development in support 
of UACC research. Additionally, Administration provides management, oversight, and coordination of the 
resources that support the activities of the membership including Shared Resources, facilities, space, and pilot 
funding opportunities. Administration also supports and facilitates the efforts of the UACC Members to address 
the needs of the catchment area and its outreach activities, including the initiatives that address the needs of 
the Hispanic community, the Native American tribes, and the elderly. Finally, it provides administrative support 
for the portfolio of training activities at the UACC, which are characterized by both their multidisciplinary nature 
and their inclusiveness. The Director, Deputy Director-Phoenix, and seven Associate Directors comprise 
Senior Leadership. These individuals are responsible for the development of the basic, translational, and 
clinical sciences within the Center and the implementation of strategies that advance early scientific findings. 
Specifically, they work together to: 1) advance cancer research from basic science to clinical and community 
intervention using precision medicine, 2) further build on UACC's rich history of population studies and 
behavioral research to address and reduce the cancer burden in minority and underserved populations, 3) 
effectively serve the UACC's catchment area through service, research, and outreach, and 4) train the next 
generation of cancer researchers. Senior Leadership is charged with establishing a vision for the Center and
