# Core A: Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P50** · MAYO CLINIC ROCHESTER · 2022 · $137,617

## Abstract

Core A, the Administrative Core of Mayo Clinic’s Hepatobiliary Cancer SPORE, will provide an overall 
organizational infrastructure to encourage collaboration, manage finances, and coordinate the review of 
progress of the research projects, scientific cores and developmental programs (Developmental Research 
Program and Career Enhancement Program). The Administrative Core will also ensure optimal function of all 
SPORE components and encourage communication between the SPORE, Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, Mayo 
Clinic as a whole, other Hepatobiliary SPOREs, other Mayo SPOREs, SPORE collaborations with non-SPORE 
funding instruments, and the National Cancer Institute. In addition, the Administrative Core will consult with the 
members of the SPORE committees including the External and Internal Advisory boards in order to achieve 
maximum potential for translational objectives. Core A’s specific aims are to: 1) Provide leadership and 
collaboration between the Research Projects and Cores of the SPORE; 2) Assure incorporation and 
participation of the Hepatobiliary Cancer SPORE in the activities of Mayo Clinic Cancer Center; 3) Establish 
monthly meetings of SPORE investigators and the Internal Advisory Board; 4) Arrange yearly research retreats 
and 2x/year meetings of the External Advisory Board; 5) Coordinate meetings of the Mayo Clinic Cancer 
Center SPORE Directors’ Working Group as needed; 6) Provide administrative support to the Developmental 
Research Program and to the Career Enhancement Program; 7) Facilitate investigator trips to relevant SPORE 
meetings; 8) Enable activities of the Hepatobiliary Cancer SPORE advocates; 9) Prepare the yearly non-competing SPORE application; 10) Serve as the administrative liaison between the Mayo Clinic SPORE and 
the NCI SPORE Program, other SPOREs, and collateral organizations; 11) Maintain the Mayo Hepatobiliary 
Cancer SPORE Websites that will be useful to investigators inside and outside the SPORE, as well as 
patients; 12) Coordinate information and communication about SPORE research developments to the Mayo 
Clinic SPORE investigators, the scientific community at large, and the public.
