## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY: CANCER CENTER ADMINISTRATION
The Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (Sylvester) Administration’s single goal is to support the Director,
leadership, and members in their mission to reduce the human burden of cancer through research, education,
prevention, and delivery of quality patient care. The Sylvester Administration (SA) is charged with the decision-
making authority for non-clinical administrative areas including Research Operations, Administrative
Operations, Finance, and Clinical Research Services. Additionally, the SA provides integrated support for
Sylvester’s Office of Education and Training (OET) and Sylvester’s Office of Outreach and Engagement
(SOOE). The SA also collaborates with the University of Miami to leverage institutional resources, including
Information Technology for network and desktop support and the Office of Research Administration for budget,
contracts, and final grant submission review. The SA’s specific responsibilities include:
 Oversight and management of the Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) application process
 Management of the membership application and leadership review process
 Management of the Intramural Funding Program including solicitation and review of proposals and
 selection of awardees
 Administrative support for Sylvester Shared Resources
 Support for grants and contracts submission, including identifying and communicating funding
 opportunities with an emphasis on extramural and peer-reviewed applications
 Building, maintenance, and improvements of database and application systems
 Faculty recruitment and retention processes including coordinating new faculty onboarding
 Management of research space and shared equipment allocation
 Management of Sylvester’s operational budget, philanthropic funds, state funds, grants, shared
 resource chargeback revenues, and clinical trial revenue
