Modified Project Summary/Abstract Section This P50 Center entitled Partnering for Engagement: An Academic and Community Alliance to Eliminate Differences throughout the Fibroid Experience (PEACE) is a national partnership created to improve health throughout the uterine fibroid experience. This innovative and visionary center will be supported by an Administrative Core that will provide overall support for the management and coordination of PEACE activities across its three projects and its Community Partnerships, Education, and Outreach Core (CPEOC) which hosts the Center’s Community Stakeholder Advisory Board (CAB). The Administrative Core will monitor progress and ensure that all component plans are successfully implemented per proposed timelines and will promote PEACE at local, state, and national levels. The Administrative Core will also organize and promote an annual PEACE Symposia, which will be a national meeting to celebrate fibroid-related science, patient advocacy, and progress. The following objectives of the Administrative Core are central to meeting PEACE’s goals: 1) provide a focal point for administration and coordination between sites (University of Michigan, Henry Ford Health, Harvard, Boston University, University of California-Irvine), projects, committees, and boards to foster efficiency and consistency; 2) ensure completion of all compliance activities including the institutional review board (IRB) activities, reports to the sponsor, and budgetary reports; 3) administer the Pilot Grant Funding program; and 4) administer, support, and track dissemination activities including town halls, open houses, presentations, abstracts, and manuscript submissions.
