Administrative Core Abstract The administrative core serves as the central organizing entity for the four research projects, research core and dissemination core. Its primary goal is to facilitate the conduct and dissemination of research of the Vanderbilt AUD Research and Education Center (VAREC). The administrative core will organize monthly steering committee meetings of the project and core PIs to chart the course of VAREC. It will coordinate communication between VAREC and an internal advisory board, as well as a Program Advisory Committee. It will oversee budgets and yearly progress reports for the center. The Administrative core will chart the future scientific course of the center, in consultation with the steering committee and Program Advisory Committee. These activities of the Administrative Core will be led by Dr. Winder, in consultation with Associate Director Dr. Blackford.
