## Abstract

ABSTRACT – Administrative Core
 The overarching objective of this COBRE is to promote medical imaging related translational cancer research
with a common research theme aiming to improve efficacy of cancer screening, early detection, diagnosis, and
treatment through the collaborative efforts between the biomedical engineering researchers and the physician
scientists in the University of Oklahoma. In order to support the objective of this COBRE application, the
Administrative Core will provide leadership and guidance to ensure the efficient operation and management of
all components of the COBRE through effective oversight, fiscal responsibility, and a transparent administrative
infrastructure. PD/PI of this COBRE will work closely with the external advisory committee (EAC) and internal
advisory committee (IAC) to guide and monitor the progress of the overall operation of the Administrative Core,
all research projects and two research resource supporting cores of this COBRE. Specifically, the Administrative
Core has multiple essential operation activities including to (1) coordinate the research and mentoring activities,
(2) communicate with the oversight committees (i.e. the EAC, IAC and other advisory committees of two research
resource supporting cores), (3) assess progress of both the COBRE as a whole and the individual cores, (4)
evaluate progress and milestones of the junior research project leaders (RPLs) in their research projects and
career development, (5) select and manage the pilot projects to build a sustainable pipeline of the RPLs, (6)
identify and recruit new RPLs to replace the RPLs who graduate from the COBRE, (7) organize research
seminars and workshops, (8) manage budget of the COBRE and track all financial activities, and (9) monitor all
COBRE activities to ensure the compliance with all federal research policies and regulations. The Administrative
Core will also include a COBRE Coordinator to assist Core Director in the management of routine fiscal and
grant activities of the COBRE, such as helping with scheduling meetings and conference rooms as needed,
video and tele-conferencing needs as necessary, securing venues for seminars and workshops, and scheduling
travel plans and generating itineraries for the EAC members and the invited speakers. Thus, in order to
successfully fulfill the goals or tasks of this Administrative Core, we propose the following three Specific Aims.
Aim 1: we will support a well-integrated administrative infrastructure to effectively coordinate mentoring and
oversight of the promising RPLs and the pilot project investigators in conducting their research projects and
career development. Aim 2: we will establish and implement the selection and evaluation criteria for sustaining
the pool of promising junior investigators for RPLs in this COBRE. Aim 3: we will support the research resource
supporting cores to help promote and enhance the medical imaging related translational cancer research
activities and...
