## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 
Core – Administrative and Mentoring Core 
The Administrative and Mentoring Core (A&M Core) is focused on supporting the successful operation of the 
Center for Rural Health Care Delivery Science. The Center represents a multidsciplinary and community- 
engaged research program that unifies existing expertise and develops a transformational team-based 
approach to studying and improving rural health care. The goal of the A&M Core is to provide leadership and 
general administrative support for researchers, mentors, research cores, and advisory committees, including 
project management, timely communications, financial management, and attention to rigorous evaluation and 
oversight processes (Aim 1). A critical focus of the A&M Core is on overseeing the mentorship and 
development of Research Project Leaders, including support necessary for successful transition to 
independence (Aim 2). Further, to assure sustainability of the COBRE, this core will also facilitate the 
development and growth of early-career clinician-scientists focused on rural health care delivery science 
through support of new faculty recruitment and development of a competitive pilot project funding mechanism 
(Aim 3). COBRE funding, coupled with substantial institutional funding and a commitment to hire five additional 
faculty members during Phase I, will provide an outstanding foundation for the development of a vibrant Center 
with a strong nucleus of independently funded faculty members.The A&M Core will be supported by a Steering 
Committee and an Evaluation Committee, and advised by an Internal Advisory Committee and External 
Advisory Committee.
