# SC INBRE Administrative Core

## Abstract

Project Summary – Administrative Core 
To further expand the reach of SC INBRE across South Carolina, in the next phase the SC INBRE network will 
grow to include three Comprehensive Research Universities and eleven Primarily Undergraduate Institutions, 
as well as four Outreach/Alumni institutions. Key to the effectiveness and success of such a large network will 
be the Administrative Core. The Administrative Core, working with the Steering Committee, External Advisory 
Committee, and Bioinformatics Core, will play a pivotal role in bringing together all of the participating INBRE 
institutions to create a dynamic biomedical research environment within South Carolina. The overall structure 
of the Administrative Core will remain as it currently is composed of the Program Director, Program 
Coordinator, the Program Manager, and a Communication Manager. The Administrative Core will manage all 
aspects of SC INBRE IV including organization and logistics of the DRP and Bioinformatics Pilot Project 
programs, the Academic Career Development and Leadership workshop, in addition to providing assistance, 
support and oversight to the institutional SC INBRE programs at each network member institution. This Core 
will work with the Steering Committee to monitor and evaluate the progress of each SC INBRE funded faculty 
member and all students trained by SC INBRE. The Administrative Core will ensure the formal annual 
evaluation of SC INBRE conducted by the Program Evaluator, the External Evaluation Team, and the External 
Advisory Committee (EAC). The Administrative Core will continue to provide logistical support for the 
Bioinformatics Core, organizing the review of Bioinformatics Pilot Project and Student-Initiated Research 
Projects while providing assistance with the organization of training courses and workshops. The Core will 
continue to support pipeline development activities, including the Research Experiences for Teachers program 
established in earlier phases of SC INBRE which provides research opportunities and curricular activities to 
teachers that they can use in their classrooms to introduce high school students to biomedical careers. The 
Administrative Core will see that SC INBRE continues to expand opportunities for a diverse student population 
to participate in biomedical research. Each network institution developed a diversity plan as a component of 
their application for membership in the SC INBRE network. The Administrative Core will actively work with the 
EAC to carefully monitor the progress of all network institutions in this area to ensure that the leadership at 
each institution maintains a strong focus on increasing participation of underrepresented minority and 
underserved students in their research programs.
