## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY (Administrative Core) 
The Administrative Core provides essential support to the MD Anderson Cancer Center Prostate Cancer 
SPORE (Prostate Cancer SPORE) PIs and investigators to maximize success. It is directed by Drs. 
Christopher J. Logothetis and Timothy C. Thompson and co-directed by Dr. Sue-Hwa Lin, who co-chair the 
Executive Committee and provide overall supervision of 4 Projects, 2 additional Cores, Developmental 
Research (DRP) and Career Enhancement (CEP) Programs, and scientific direction of the SPORE. The Core 
Directors and co-Director rely on the extensive broad-based scientific, research, and SPORE experience of 
the Advisory Boards in critical decision-making. Success of the complex interdisciplinary research in the 
SPORE depends in part on integration of diverse prostate cancer research approaches. The Core will 
overcome barriers to interdisciplinary collaboration and data sharing and ensure a unified translational 
research effort. The SPORE is founded on planning, integration, and translational research efforts supported 
by this Core. Its leadership and staff will be responsible for monitoring/planning scientific activities; providing 
scientific direction; ensuring emphasis on translational research; ensuring interdisciplinary and inter-SPORE 
integration with major prostate programs within/outside MD Anderson and other broad translational research 
activities; and providing administrative and fiscal management (eg, personnel, budgets, office oversight, 
communication, organization of meetings, manuscript preparation, and progress and other reports to the NCI 
and SPORE committees, and support of Cores and Programs). Specific responsibilities of the Administrative 
Core are to: monitor research activity and provide stable and continuous leadership and direction; promote 
integration, communication, and collaboration among the SPORE and collaborating investigators at MD 
Anderson and other Texas Medical Center institutions; monitor scientific integrity and ensure overall 
compliance with all institutional, state, federal, and NCI regulations and requirements, as well as assurance for 
data quality control for the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics and Biospecimen and Pathology Cores; provide 
oversight for completion of DRP and CEP goals; convene, staff, and manage all necessary meetings; oversee 
expenditures and maintain budgets; communicate and consult with the NCI Translational Research Program 
Director and staff, including reports; increase awareness of prostate cancer research and patient advocacy in 
the community; address ongoing needs of minority and underserved communities in Houston and Harris 
County (Texas); and encourage and facilitate translational prostate cancer research by extramural groups 
within the region and throughout the US.
