## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY (Administrative Core: Ding, Maier, Ramírez-Andreotta) 
The University of Arizona Superfund Research Center (UA SRC) Administrative Core is the “glue” that holds the 
many parts of our Center together making the “whole” greater than the sum of the individual Research Projects 
and Cores. The Administrative Core integrates the many components of our Center to meet the needs of the 
overall NIEHS Superfund Research Program, our stakeholders, and our community. The Administrative Core 
encompasses both the management aspects as well as the creative development of our Center. The 
management component includes the responsibilities for the supervision, direction, planning, and coordination 
of the UA SRC, as well as communication with stakeholders and financial accountability. The development 
component involves seeking innovative ways to increase the impact of our Center including building partnerships 
within the University of Arizona, with our sister SRCs, and with our partners (NIEHS, Environmental Protection 
Agency, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, State agencies, communities, and the mining 
industry). The overall goal of our Center is to overall goal is to construct a mechanistic model of how chronic 
exposure to dust that is co-contaminated with metal(loid)s and fungal spores contributes to the development of 
nonmalignant lung disease and build risk assessment tools to predict exposures and associated health outcomes 
and inform public health prevention and interventions with communities neighboring mine waste sites. Our 
Administrative Core objectives are to: (1) plan, manage and coordinate the research projects and support cores 
to ensure they attain the proposed shared research, training, and translational objectives; (2) promote the 
exchange of scientific information at all levels through interaction with NIEHS and stakeholders and the 
translation of our research products to risk assessment, intervention, education, and ha
