# Core A: Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P01** · UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA · 2021 · $305,455

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The Administrative Core (Core A) has four aims: 1) to provide management, integration and oversight of
the P01 activities, facilitate communication and collaboration among the investigators, distribute research
cigarettes to all projects and the Biomarker and Tobacco Constituents Core, and to establish a Data
Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) to monitor participant safety. This aim will be facilitated by Drs.
Dorothy Hatsukami and Peter Shields, the administrative team and the Steering Committee comprised of
Project and Core Leaders; 2) to establish a Tobacco Product Evaluation Committee (TPEC), chaired by
Dr. Shields and Mr. Micah Berman, that will provide a mechanism for discussing how the results from our
studies are interrelated and contribute to the understanding of the potential public health impact of
banning ventilation in cigarette filters; 3) to establish and manage a Scientific and Policy Advisory
Committee (SPAC), chaired by Dr. Jonathan Samet, to provide a mechanism for the evaluation of our
scientific productivity, significance and quality, and a resource for addressing unanticipated issues; and,
4) to establish and manage a Communications and Dissemination Committee (CDC), chaired by Drs.
Richard O'Connor and Hatsukami, that will disseminate our findings to researchers, regulatory agencies
and the public. The infrastructure provided by this Core will ensure optimal collaboration, project
integration, and quality and impact of our results.
