## Abstract

Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC): Project Summary
This Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) Leadership and
Administrative Core (LAC) was designed to provide the scientific leadership, organization and infrastructure
necessary to lead and oversee the frailty-focused activities of this OAIC. The overall goal of the LAC is to
ensure the ongoing success of this OAIC in stimulating and sustaining the next generation of frailty-related
science and the next generation of frailty-focused investigators. The aims of this LAC are to: 1) provide the
interdisciplinary intellectual leadership needed to stimulate and sustain the development of innovative frailty-
focused research addressing diverse populations, facilitate translation between basic and clinical research on
frailty, develop innovative intervention and prevention strategies from these biological and clinical discoveries,
and ensure effective, high impact utilization of each OAIC core; 2) identify and attract the next generation of
frailty-focused research leaders from diverse backgrounds at JHU and facilitate training, career development
and access to resources to promote their emergence as independent, interdisciplinary investigators in this
field; 3) organize independent panels for review of: Resource Core Developmental Projects, Pilot/Exploratory
Studies, and for the selection of specific junior faculty to receive salary support from the Research Education
Component, and progress towards OAIC goals, conducted annually by an External Advisory Board; 4) lead,
administer, and oversee core functions to assure productivity, cost effectiveness, integration, and quality of all
aspects of this OAIC program, and to well steward OAIC resources; 5) prepare reports for non-competing
renewal applications, annually, and administrative documents as needed, including data safety monitoring
documentation; 6) organize and conduct scientific sessions to propel the frailty-focused science and career
development of participants in OAIC retreats, research in progress meetings, and research planning meetings;
and 7) maximize JHU OAIC scholarly visibility locally and nationally via local programming and participation in
the OAIC network, the annual OAIC scientific meeting and annual scientific meetings of aging or frailty focused
organizations, and through OAIC-led information and dissemination resources. This Core will set goals with all
other cores and ensure that goals are met. It will lead visioning discussions among the multidisciplinary
Leadership Council as to scientific direction and clinical relevance; provide institutional leadership in identifying
the investigators and mechanisms to accomplish the Center’s scientific goals; and provide leadership and
organization to ensure the successful development and implementation of the infrastructure and new methods
needed to support investigators in furthering research on frailty and its translation to increase the
