# Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P01** · NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY · 2022 · $89,689

## Abstract

RESEARCH & RELATED - OTHER PROJECT INFORMATION - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The Administrative Core (Core A) is a centralized facility designed to manage all operations related to this
Program Project Grant (PPG). It facilitates the interactions between the collaborating laboratories and is located
within the Center for Drug Discovery (Northeastern University). During this cycle, the Administrative Core has
been functioning very effectively. Suitable modifications were made to accommodate new directions and
personnel changes in order to achieve a more focused and integrated approach. The major tasks of this Core
component will continue to be: a) communicating the central scientific theme to which all component projects
will direct their research efforts and maintain a focused approach while fulfilling the PPG’s overall specific aims;
b) managing the fiscal aspects of the PPG, maintain financial records and other administrative functions; and c)
promptly and properly distributing or coordinating the distribution of materials (novel ligands; other ligands
developed in the PI’s laboratory; receptor mutants) produced under the auspices of Core B and the individual
Projects (1, ,2, and 3). The Administrative Core also takes responsibility for synchronizing the operations and
communications between the individual laboratories involved in the PPG and other laboratories which interact
collaboratively at no cost to the project. This effort includes recording and distributing materials produced to the
participant laboratories and to the collaborating laboratories, together with maintaining and updating the
database related to this multidisciplinary collaborative effort. Additional specific coordinating efforts include
maintaining regular telephone conferences, the yearly group meeting of participants and collaborators, as well
as other communications and the quarterly meetings with the Internal Advisory Committee, as well as the yearly
formal meeting with the External Scientific Advisory Committee. The Administrative Core will manage the shared
resources that are required for the performance of the interrelated tasks for the individual research projects.
General administrative support related to this Program Project, including financial management, correspondence
and preparation of reports and proposals, will also be provided by this Core Facility.
The administrative portion of this grant seeks to keep all three Projects (1, 2, and 3) and Core B focused on the
overall research goals and to enhance communication between each branch of the grant. It will enhance the
ability of collaborating laboratories to focus on the central PPG’s overall goal which is the development of
therapies for pain, addictive, inflammatory and fibrotic disorders.
