## Abstract

ADMINISTRATIVE CORE ABSTRACT 
The Administrative Core for our SDSU/UCSD Cancer Center Comprehensive Partnership will provide oversight 
of the administrative and financial functions and the personnel and other resources to support the Partnership’s 
day-to-day operations. This includes providing leadership, oversight, and infrastructure to support all scientific, 
administrative, and fiscal activities of the Partnership to ensure effective and synergistic performance. The 
leadership of the Administrative Core is crucial to achieving the goals of collaboration within the Partnership. 
The organizational structure is made up of an Executive Committee (EC), an Internal Advisory Committee (IAC), 
a Program Steering Committee (PSC), the SDSU and UCSD institutional leadership, as well as faculty, 
students, and community partners participating through the various Cores and Programs. The EC is comprised 
of the four PIs, two from each institution. Administrative and scientific leadership is conducted in a collaborative, 
integrative manner across SDSU and UCSD and takes into account the advice of the IAC and PSC. In the next 
phase of the Partnership, the Administrative Core will continue to oversee the ongoing coordination and 
provide administrative support to all the Cores and Projects of the Partnership. The Core will also provide 
support to foster effective interactions and collaborations amongst SDSU and UCSD investigators, staff, 
students, advisory committee members, and community members. Specifically, the Core will be responsible 
for: 1) Convening, coordinating and conducting all meetings, as well as providing agendas and minutes; 2) 
Facilitating communication between all institutional departments, including with the leadership at both 
institutions; 3) Providing administrative support and monitoring the progress of all Cores; 4) Working with the 
Planning and Evaluation Core to solicit, review and select pilot and full projects, as well as monitoring their 
progress; 5) Encouraging and supporting active participation of SDSU and UCSD faculty and students in 
Partnership activities; 6) Preparing progress reports for internal and external evaluation, renewals, and 
summaries; 7) Providing fiscal management; and 8) Organizing and disseminating information to the 
Partnership community. The Partnership uses the multiple PI model for governance and leadership and the 
Contact PIs represent and reinforce university commitments. The application proposes to recruit two new 
faculty at UCSD and two at SDSU. Recruitment efforts at UCSD will be targeted specifically to translational 
scientists in cancer disparities. At SDSU, the faculty recruits will increase the capacity for cancer research in 
basic sciences. The new positions will be aligned with the future needs and priorities of the Partnership. If the 
new recruit is an early stage investigator (ESI), the Partnership and leading institutions are committed to 
providing support to ensure the f...
