ADMINISTRATIVE CORE PROJECT SUMMARY 
The goals of the patient-derived xenograft (PDX) Development and Trial Center (PDTC) Administrative Core 
are to organize all elements of the PDTC and facilitate communication amongst the PDTC and PDXNet 
members. The Administrative Core has three Specific Aims: (1) to advance scientific endeavors and ensure 
achievement of specific aims, including coordination with the PDXNet; (2) to ensure oversight and compliance; 
and (3) to effectively manage financial resources. To accomplish these aims, the Administrative Core will 
facilitate and coordinate PDTC scientific activities and advisory board meetings; facilitate regularly scheduled 
meetings; assess progress toward specific aims; serve as a liaison between the PDTC and the NCI; maintain a 
shared web portal for efficient communication between PDTC members; facilitate resource allocation and 
monitor spending; ensure compliance with regulatory requirements; formulate NCI-required reports; develop 
other reports as requested by the PDTC leadership team; maintain all administrative records; and assist with 
preparation of publications and presentations. Consolidating this effort in the Administration Core will result in 
group cohesion of the PDTC and the efficient utilization and distribution of resources among the projects.
