## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT 
ADMINISTRATIVE CORE 
The AC will provide leadership for the Center’s overall strategic planning, including scientific inspiration, vision, 
and oversight using a community-based multi-level intervention approach and the core principles of 
transdisciplinary research. We will: (1) engage and incorporate community stakeholders, (2) train under- 
represented minority post-doctoral scholars and early career investigators, and (3) test innovative multi-level 
theories and methods through pilot research awards and translation and dissemination of research findings for 
practice, systems and policy change. These activities of the AC will contribute to a culture shift at the University 
of New Mexico by providing mechanisms for scholars to move beyond disciplinary and institutional silos by 
helping scholars to build transdisciplinary collaborations with a focus on innovation and concrete solutions. The 
AC will manage, coordinate and supervise the entire range of proposed Center activities, monitor progress and 
ensure that component plans are carried out. The AC will be responsible for facilitating synergy and linkages 
across the Cores and research and pilot projects. The AC will coordinate interface between the CSAC and the 
TREE Center, and will liaise with community stakeholders. The AC will ensure that the overarching Social 
Determinants of Health Framework and thematic foci drive all of our research, training, and dissemination 
activities. The AC will operate according to the following specific aims: 1) Develop center procedures ensuring 
the implementation of aims for all Cores and projects, operationalizing responsibilities of the AC, and 
maintaining compliance with policies and procedures; 2) Launch and support the Community Scientific 
Advisory Committee (CSAC) to ensure scientific and cultural integrity for all Center activities and coordinate bi- 
directional communications fostering dissemination of cultural knowledge and research evidence to advance 
practice, systems and policy change. 3) Provide administrative support, vision, and oversight of the research 
and pilot projects in alignment with the Center’s mission to assure full compliance and culturally appropriate 
safeguards for ongoing data safety and data monitoring. 4) Coordinate career enhancement activities to 
promote the recruitment, development and retention of diverse investigators to address complex behavioral 
health issues at multiple levels of influence from social inequities and health systems reform to community and 
policy change. 5) Evaluate the Center outcomes with annual member surveys, retreats, and documentation of 
key priorities, and develop a standard set of common data elements and measures at multiple domains of 
influence to assess our collective impact on behavioral health outcomes and reduction of disparities. The aims 
of the AC will lead to not only culturally appropriate, effective, and sustainable interventions to improv...
