PROJECT SUMMARY 
Administrative Core 
TUFCCC: Grace X. Ma, PhD (Contact PI) and Jean-Pierre Issa, MD (MPI) 
 HC: Olorunseun O. Ogunwobi, MD, PhD (Contact PI) and Joel Erblich, PhD, MPH (MPI) 
The Administrative Core of the proposed TUFCCC/HC Regional Comprehensive Cancer Health Disparity 
Partnership (TUFCCC/HC Cancer Partnership) builds on an established effective leadership and governance 
infrastructure. The overall goal of the Core is to provide administrative, scientific, and programmatic oversight 
and monitoring of research projects, outreach, education, and career development activities that address 
cancer health disparities in underserved African-, Hispanic-, and Asian Pacific-American communities in 
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York City (PNN) region. The Administrative Core's functions include, but 
are not limited to, providing leadership, oversight, fiscal management, timely coordination, and communication 
to support the Partnership's day-to-day operations. The Core will be tasked to ensure the efficient, effective, 
and synergistic performance and high-quality standards of excellence in the proposed Partnership's aims and 
objectives for cores, pilot/full projects, and shared resources. For consistent operation and governance, the 
Administrative Core of both TUFCCC and HC shares the same specific aims, defined as follows: Aim 1. 
Strengthen and maintain an effective leadership governance infrastructure to provide overall administrative 
support and fiscal management to Planning and Evaluation Core, Research Education Core, Community 
Outreach Core, 2 full projects, 1 pilot project, and Shared Resources across the TUFCCC/HC Partnership. 
Aim 2. Facilitate regular communication and coordination of activities of the Executive Committee (MPIs), 
Scientific Integration Leadership Committee (co-leaders of projects/cores), Internal Advisory Committee, and 
Program Steering Committee. Aim 3. Facilitate the integration of cores, projects, shared resources, as well as 
inter-institutional initiatives of the Partnership. Aim 4. Provide administrative and programmatic oversight to 
the Planning and Evaluation Core to ensure a consistent and rigorous evaluation across all cores and projects 
of the Partnership. TUFCCC/HC Cancer Partnership has strong support and commitments from institutional 
leaders at both sites. In addition, the leadership of the Administrative Core has been well established and 
integrated during the Planning Phase and will continue to be jointly led by experienced multidisciplinary cancer 
research leaders: (1) Dr. Grace Ma (Contact PI) and Dr. Jean-Pierre Issa (MPI) for TUFCCC; and (2) Dr. 
Olorunseun Ogunwobi (Contact PI) and Dr. Joel Erblich (MPI) for Hunter College. The Administrative Core's 
joint leadership teams, including PIs and key staff members, have established a cohesive working relationship 
and infrastructure, and have conducted weekly and biweekly planning meetings to discuss priorities,
