# Admin Core-Population Dynamics Research Center

## Abstract

Project Summary 
The Administrative Core is the “nerve center” of the PSC. We provide infrastructure management, 
administrative leadership and research, technical and clerical assistance to PSC associates so they can 
devote as much time as possible on their research. The core arranges activities that enhance interaction, build 
community, and expand exposure to population research so as to foster interdisciplinary population. The core 
sets priorities for the Center, allocates resources, ensures continuing strong University support, and generates 
an environment that fosters an energetic supportive and stimulating intellectual environment within the Center. 
The cadence of the Administrative Core is in step with the NIH, NSF and foundation deadlines and proactively 
reaches out to early career researchers to provide encouragement, interpretation of instructions and formats, 
timelines and University policy and procedures. The Core provides specific staffing to the CIT and 
Development Cores. Coordination by the Administration Core of shared staff across overlapping functions 
makes efficient use of scarce resources. The Administrative Core staff is organized for flexibility and 
responsiveness to researcher needs. The staff is cross-trained so there is always coverage of core 
administrative tasks. Whether a researcher is looking for sources of funding, help with a grant submission, or 
needs some post-award support, the Administrative Core stands ready to deploy needed resources. We 
maximize the efficiency for population dynamics research by minimizing the financial and time burdens of 
providing administrative support services associated with research projects. The Administrative Core services 
and activities are essential to accomplishing the mission and the continued success of the Center. The 
Administrative core reduces the structural burden for researcher who seek extramural funding and frees 
population scientists to focus on their research. By having a centralized Administrative Core, staffed with 
knowledgeable and specialized staff, ready to step in and provide top-notch service, the efficiency and cost- 
effectiveness of grants development is enhanced.
