# Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P50** · BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE · 2021 · $160,683

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY 
The goals of the core are to provide all projects with centralized leadership and administrative support, and 
to ensure effective communication among all projects and cores so that objectives are being met. To 
achieve this goal the core will arrange internal group meetings, including the monthly investigator meeting, 
executive committee meetings and invited research lectures. It will oversee the overall fiscal and budgetary 
management of the SPORE and provide assistance to each project and core leader, with a particular focus 
on assisting budgetary planning. Over the last 9 years of funding, this core has monitored each project with 
input from the Executive Committee and Scientific Advisory Board, and modified projects and incorporated 
new directions as necessary. For the current proposal, the Administrative Core leaders will ensure 
continued SPORE oversight by convening meetings of the Scientific Advisory Board, which consists of both 
internal and external investigators with expertise in the field, and assessing and implementing their 
recommendations. It will also coordinate the administration of the Developmental Research Program and 
the Career Enhancement Program to ensure that the objectives of these programs are being met and it has 
discretionary funds to support new research opportunities or unexpected costs. Finally the Administrative 
Core will communicate with the NCI program staff and encourage and facilitate collaboration with other NCI 
translational initiatives.
