PROJECT SUMMARY - ADMINISTRATIVE CORE The Administrative Core aims to promote research using big data to explore health-protective and equitable climate solutions through funding and coordination of the Developmental Core, Community Engagement Core, and Exposure Assessment Core. The Administrative Core coordinates the REACH Center’s multi-institutional partnerships that achieve the Center’s goal of leveraging the strengths of multiple institutions in the National Capital Region to bridge novel geospatial datasets to climate solutions that advance health and equity. The Core facilitates innovative approaches for this partnership that draw from the complementary areas of expertise of the participating institutions. The Director and Co-Directors, advisers, and support staff of the Administrative Core will (1) provide leadership and governance of the Center; (2) provide administrative and fiscal oversight and management; (3) propel innovative approaches to spark multi-institutional partnerships across collaborating Center institutions; (4) drive collaboration and communication between investigators and government and community partners, NIH, and the Climate Change and Human Health Research Center Coordinating Center and Community of Practice. The Center’s management structure is organized into an Executive Committee consisting of the Directors and Co-Directors of each Core plus one institutional representative from each of the collaborating institutions (George Washington University, George Mason University, Howard University, and Environmental Defense Fund). The Executive Committee will receive guidance from an Internal Advisory Board and an External Advisory Board. The Administrative Core will facilitate and coordinate activities across a Community Engagement Core, a Developmental Core, and an Exposure Assessment Core. Administrative Core Co-Directors will serve as liaisons to each of these Cores, providing a bridge between the Cores and the Administrative Core that enhances the functioning of the Center. Our leadership team is diverse and unique, with expertise in health sciences, climate and atmospheric sciences, clinical medicine, biostatistics, and community health science. With the Administrative Core leadership, the REACH Center cultivates a diverse, multi-disciplinary, collaborative research team that has the capacity to successfully compete for action-oriented NIH research on climate and health.
