## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – Administrative Core 
The Administrative Core will provide leadership, scientific oversight, governance, and administrative support to 
our Drug Combinations to Circumvent Resistance-Drug Resistance and Sensitivity Center (D2CR-DRSC) to 
ensure effective operations, communication, internal and external collaborations, compliance and rigorous 
scientific evaluation of D2CR-DRSC projects. Co-PD/Contact PI Jeffrey Tyner and Co-PD/PI Brian Druker will 
serve as Co-Leaders of the Administrative Core and will be supported by a Scientific Operations Leader, 
Cristina Tognon; a Collaborations Manager, Pierrette Lo; and a Research and Finance Administrator, Sarah 
Bowden. The Specific Aims of the Administrative Core are to: 1) provide scientific and administrative 
leadership, governance, and support to the D2CR-DRSC to ensure effective integration of all projects, 
evaluation of center progress, sharing of specimens and data, and internal communication and operational 
performance, and 2) provide scientific and administrative leadership to optimize the D2CR-DRSC’s 
communication and collaborations with the Drug Resistance and Sensitivity Network to ensure productive 
participation in cross-DRSC, NCI activities and the research community. To achieve these aims, the 
Administrative Core will establish and implement D2CR-DRSC governance, including establishing an Internal 
Advisory Group and an External Advisory Board to help evaluate the Center’s progress toward its aims and 
milestones; develop and follow policy to ensure timely release and sharing of specimens and data; plan regular 
strategic interactions and meetings; develop communications plans; ensure budget oversight and compliance; 
manage intellectual property issues; complete annual progress reports; facilitate communication, collaboration 
and data and resource sharing with the NCI, the DRSC Steering Committee, and the four other DRSCs in the 
Network; and perform all other administrative duties required to support the D2CR-DRSC and its successful 
participation in the Drug Resistance and Sensitivity Network.
