## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT 
 ADMINISTRATIVE CORE 
One of the advantages of the University of Michigan (UM) Fibromyalgia CORT Administrative Core is that all of 
the necessary leadership skills, faculty, staff, and procedures are already in place and have been for many 
years. The leadership team proposing this CORT has a successful track record of working together, 
coordinating large groups of investigators, conducting multiple projects simultaneously, and disseminating 
research findings. 
 The Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center (CPFRC) at UM is acknowledged as one of the most 
successful pain research groups in the world due not only to the personnel but also to the strong institutional 
support provided to the group by the University of Michigan in the form of administrative infrastructure. This 
same institutional support will enable the success of the CORT. Another advantage we bring to our 
proposed CORT is that the Director, Dr. Clauw, was the first PI of the University of Michigan CTSA award 
and rejoined the leadership team as Associate Director. He founded the Michigan Institute for Clinical and 
Health Research, the unit that provides all necessary infrastructure for clinical and translational research at 
UM, and that houses the UM CTSA award. In the context of leading the UM CTSA programs, Dr. Clauw 
created innovative mentoring and training, and pilot grant programs, and the structure of these programs will 
be emulated in several of the new functions proposed in this regard for the CORT. Dr. Brummett, the 
Director of Pain Research for the Department of Anesthesiology and Associate Director for the proposed 
CORT, possesses the complementary leadership skills and areas of scientific strength that have allowed he 
and Dr. Clauw to work productively together for many years on their current R01s. 
 The Specific Aims of the Administrative Core are: 1) To be responsible for the planning, development, 
coordination and overall administration of the UM CORT; 2) To develop and maintain a vibrant pilot grant 
program for the UM CORT; 3) To help train and mentor the next generation of individuals who wish to 
incorporate contemporary pain research techniques into musculoskeletal research, and; 4) To disseminate 
information regarding the UM CORT findings to a broad constituency, from scientists to clinicians to patients.
