## Abstract

SUMMARY – Administrative Core (AC) 
Oregon State University (OSU) has operated an Environmental Health Sciences Core Center (EHS CC) 
continuously since 1967. The EHS CC partnered with long-standing collaborators in the Pacific Northwest and 
developed a unique state-of-the-art infrastructure for studying external exposures and adverse outcome 
pathways. We propose to apply this infrastructure and our expertise to provide decision support for 
stakeholders in seven categories (residential communities, health care providers, pharmaceutical firms, 
manufacturers, regulatory agencies, legislators, and non-governmental organizations. Our twofold mission is a) 
to improve environmental public health and b) to improve the understanding of the relationships among 
environmental exposures, human biology, and disease. The Administrative Core will manage the EHS CC to 
assure that it will achieve its goals and fulfill its commitments. The core will help to focus the EHS CC on the 
Strategic Objectives of NIEHS. An Executive Team formed from the leaders of the Facility Cores, the 
Community Engagement Core (CEC) and the Pilot Projects Program (PPP) will guide the Center. Additionally, 
an experienced External Advisory Committee will provide critical evaluations and guidance to the 
Administrative Core. Our active Internal Advisory Committee will help to steer and implement our center. The 
Administrative Core staff members have many years of experience in solving problems quickly, avoiding 
roadblocks, and meeting new regulatory requirements, all of which help to ensure the success of our new 
faculty. The responsibilities of the Administrative Core have grown with the merging of Career Development 
activities. An assembled group of Career Advisors with extensive experience in the Environmental Health 
Sciences will promote Career development activities and inform the Executive Team of new opportunities and 
arising issues. This core will serve as the driving force for the recruitment, career development, and research 
support for Center members from a diversity of backgrounds and life expereinces. The Administrative Core will 
coordinate multidisciplinary team building through a variety of engagement events. The EHS CC is a dynamic 
and thriving organization. Strictly speaking, however, this is a proposal for new funding, not a renewal, despite 
the fact that the OSU EHSC received NIEHS funding continuously from 1967 to 2015.
