## Abstract

Project Summary - Administrative Core 
The Administrative Core of the Integrative Center for Environmental Microbiomes and Human Health COBRE 
(ICEMHH) will be directed by Dr. Anthony Amend (Associate Professor, Pacific Biosciences Research Center 
(PBRC)), with the day-to-day administrative activities of the core coordinated by Dr. Marilou Andres (Assistant 
Researcher, PBRC). The principal function of the Administrative Core is to facilitate the effective and efficient 
functioning of this COBRE at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa (UHM). This Core will oversee strengthening 
and enhancement of the Center through the development, mentoring and graduating of the research project 
leaders (RPLs). It will organize the meetings of the Administrative Core Team composed of project mentors, 
core leaders, the executive committee and RPLs, and will facilitate the communication of all Center personnel. 
It will also organize the twice-yearly meetings with the Advisory Committee (AC). The Administrative Core will 
prepare progress reports and provide these to the AC and NIH, and serve as a dynamic link between this 
COBRE and UHM, other UHM COBREs, and the UHM INBRE program, including assuming leadership of the 
joint IDeA Mentoship Bootcamp. It will also be responsible for the full logistical and administrative support of 
both the individual RPL projects and their supporting core facilities. Such efforts will include maintaining all 
aspects of the budget, staff records, equipment inventories, and advice on manuscript preparation and support 
for proposal submission. The Core will support a yearly meeting to bring in leaders in the field of microbiome 
research to discuss their work and the intellectual context in which the Center is expanding. The Administrative 
Core will additionally develop a data portal to help standardize and streamline Microbiome research and 
outputs. Finally, this Core will be responsible for executing all evaluation, assessment and any corrective 
actions for the COBRE.
