## Abstract

Administrative Core Abstract
The Administrative Core provides the essential organizational framework for the Alopecia Areata Center for
Research Translation (AACORT) and in a very real sense functions as its nerve center. It serves to coordinate
and integrate all Center functions; provides rigorous and regular fiscal oversight of the Project, Core facilities
and the Pilot and Feasibility studies; offers advice to the Director and Associate Director regarding all aspects of
the Center’s activities; and assists in assuring that the Enrichment Programs function effectively. The
Administrative Core provides the major infrastructure of the AACORT and is designed to ensure the most efficient
utilization of the Center’s resources toward advancing translational research in AA. The members of the
Executive Committee and the Advisory Group are talented and experienced research scientists capable of
providing competent oversight and direction to the Center. An additional lay member is responsible for assuring
that the interests and concerns of the AA patients. The AACORT will strive to develop collaborative and
cooperative interactions among the clinicians and scientists comprising the Cores and members of the AACORT
at Columbia and focus attention on the opportunities available for research in AA by coordinating and facilitating
these activities on the health sciences campus. The Administrative Core will function as a clearinghouse to
leverage resources by partnering with other existing Cores for the benefit of AACORT investigators. The
Administrative Core will provide administrative and fiscal support for the Cores and the P&F studies proposed
under the aegis of the AACORT and will ensure integration across the Project, Cores, the P&F programs of the
AACORT will foster novel ideas generated in AA research that can be nurtured and expanded into funded
programs utilizing the P&F studies. The Enrichment Program will serve as a vehicle to promote institutional and
community awareness of the importance of AA translational research and the tremendous opportunities that
exist for the creation of new knowledge in this vitally important area of biomedical science.
