## Abstract

ABSTRACT 
The Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) Administrative Core includes the Senior Leadership 
Team (SLT) and Center Administraion. The SLT establishes the overall strategic direction and research 
mission for LCCC and center Adminstration operationalizes this vision. The SLT includes the Director and 
Associate Directors of Clinical; Basic; Population Science; Translational Research; Education and Training; 
and Administration that meet weekly to consider all matters impacting LCCC. Center Administration provides 
infrastructure to promote the cancer research activities of its 300 members, with a particular focus on 
facilitating transdisciplinary and translational cancer research. The Administration supports the Director, Senior 
Leaders, Program Leaders, Shared Resources Directors and LCCC Members in carrying out the Center 
mission through effective strategic planning and evaluation, operational management, and centralized 
resources. 
LCCC Administration (72 FTE/$14M) oversees the largest research operation at the University including a 
$156M budget (FY14) including grant and fiscal management and other administrative services for 134 faculty 
members and 15 Shared Resources. Many of these reside in center-controlled space (153,000 nsf) which the 
administrative staff also manages. The administrative staff is responsible for Human Resources and 
administering partial salary support for over 1200 FTEs. Administrative responsibilities include: management of 
Center finances, personnel, grants and contracts, purchasing, and philanthropy; provide administrative and 
financial oversight LCCC shared resources; oversee space utilization and common equipment; facilitate 
recruitment efforts; manage center membership; and coordinate and facilitate pilot award programs and Center 
planning and evaluation activities (leadership and programmatic meetings, seminars, annual symposia and 
retreats, and internal and external board meetings). The administrative staff also supports communication to 
the 300 LCCC members and the University as a whole as well as educating citizens and legislators regarding 
Center activities across the state. The Administrative Core monitors and reports on member accomplishments, 
funding, cancer-related activity to the membership committee and SLT as a part of the annual membership 
evaluation. The conduct of surveys and evaluation for planning is also a function of the central administrative 
staff. The Administrative Core functions are overseen by two leaders with 30 and 15 years' experience at UNC 
Lineberger and a dynamic new Associate Director for Administration. 
For Year 40, the Center requests a committed level of $737,324 to support 6.45 FTEs plus costs for supplies, 
travel, and other operational expenses to support the Administrative Core. The center Administration portion 
($455,089 and 5.2FTE) represents 9% of the overall CCSG budget request and 3% of the Administration 
operating budget ($14M). ...
