PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – ADMINISTRATIVE CORE The overall goal of the Administrative Core, led by PI Dr Kirsi Järvinen-Seppo, is to provide the organizational backbone and leadership for this Program entitled “Biomarkers of Atopy Beginning Early” (BABE). The Administrative Core will provide overall and fiscal management, communication, coordination, and supervision of the program Projects and Cores and will coordinate interaction with other AADCRC Research Programs, AADCRC Steering Committee (and subcommittees), and NIAID. This includes managerial support, annual progress reports, and fiscal management, implementing and monitoring a project management plan, defining timelines, and overseeing adherence to compliance to data sharing. This will ensure that investigator efforts are coordinated, progress is regularly evaluated, the resources are optimized and scientific plans are revised based on feedback.
