## Abstract

Abstract - Admin Core
The Administrative Core provides scientific and administrative leadership to ensure an integrated and 
sustained focus on the Center’s aims to create an implementation science (IS) ecosystem focused on health 
equity in community health centers across MA. The Core provides governance and coordination of center 
scientific, administrative, and networking activities, and will evaluate Center processes, outcomes, scientific, 
and clinical impacts. 
The Core has three primary components. The Administrative team brings strong scientific, community health, 
and administrative leadership as required to ensure a substantive and enduring focus on cancer health equity 
and implementation science, by: (1) assembling a transdisciplinary team with scientific and community-based 
expertise; (2) providing strong transdisciplinary input through our governance and Advisory Board structure; (3) 
maintaining rigorous standards for community-engaged research, quality of scientific and practice-based 
products, and ethical standards; and (4) providing strong coordination and fiscal administration of Center 
activities.
The Network Unit connects the Center to other ISCCC’s and Cancer Moonshot implementation centers, and to 
state and national community health center leadership, by: (1) creating a mechanism for directly engaging 
investigators from Moonshot and other relevant IS into the planning and research functions of the Center; and 
(2) extend our networking to include national CHC leadership and care delivery structures.
The Evaluation Unit is responsible for creating a data and evaluation ecosystem to evaluate and establish the 
Center’s impact, including: (1) establishing short and long-term metrics for productivity for all Center 
components; (2) collecting, reviewing, and providing feedback on Center wide and project specific metrics; (3) 
providing statistical support for evaluating pilot outcomes; and (4) creating a robust data repository, that 
includes clinical as well as community contextual data.
The Administrative Core has been built to provide: (1) strong and inclusive governance; (2) mechanisms to 
articulate the scientific vision and thematic foci of the center; (3) coordinated and collaborative activities
across the Center and other relevant University resources; and (4) advancement of the Center’s themes
through administrative support and continuous evaluation of Center activities.
