## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY - ADMINISTRATIVE CORE (CORE A) 
The overarching goal of the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) is to provide state-of-the- 
art infrastructure, expertise, and resources to conduct cutting-edge, multidisciplinary, equitable, and 
generalizable research in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias, with a special focus on preclinical 
biomarkers of AD and their role in predicting transition from pre-symptomatic to symptomatic stages of the 
disease. The Administrative Core will set the overall research directions and priorities, oversee and coordinate 
core-related activities, ensure optimal utilization of ADRC resources, and serve as a resource to expand AD 
research locally, nationally, and beyond. 
Under the overall scientific and administrative leadership of Sanjay Asthana, MD, the Wisconsin ADRC Director, 
the Administrative Core will continue to exercise its leadership and accomplish its objectives through the activities 
of four major committees. The External Advisory Committee, comprised of distinguished leaders in AD research 
at institutions outside of Wisconsin and with expertise aligned with the scientific missions of the ADRC, provides 
advice concerning the overall direction and performance of the Center. The Executive Committee, comprised of 
the ADRC Director, Associate Director, Administrator, Core Leaders, Core Co-Leaders, and Data/informatics 
Leader, meets monthly to discuss the overall function and scientific opportunities for the ADRC, review each 
Core’s progress, and resolve problems within or between Cores. The Resource Distribution Committee, 
composed of the ADRC Director, Associate Director, Core Leaders, Administrator, and ad hoc reviewers, 
evaluates and approves requests for data, access to clinical core participants, biospecimens, and autopsy brain 
tissue, and advises the Center Director concerning resource utilization priorities. The Administrative Core places 
strong emphasis on wide utilization
