## Abstract

ADMINISTRATIVE CORE – PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The University of Virginia (UVA) Cancer Center is directed by Thomas P. Loughran, Jr., MD. He is assisted in
this role by the Cancer Center Administration Team and the Senior Leadership. These two groups form the
Administrative Core of the UVA Cancer Center.
The Cancer Center Administration Team provides the infrastructure and support that enables the University of
Virginia matrix Cancer Center to function effectively, efficiently, and cohesively. The Administration Team is led
by Dina Gould Halme, PhD (Associate Director for Research Administration) and has staff with expertise in
financial management, grants administration, human resources, and philanthropy. The members of the team
work with Cancer Center leadership to foster collaborations and support cancer-focused research through
infrastructure, Pilot Research Projects, and faculty recruitment.
The Senior Leadership team is composed of five Associate Directors: Amy H. Bouton, PhD (Associate Director
for Education and Training), Robert Dreicer, MD (Associate Director for Clinical Research), Jay W. Fox, PhD
(Associate Director for Laboratory Research Infrastructure), Dina Gould Halme, PhD (Associate Director for
Research Administration), and John S. Lazo, PhD (Associate Director for Basic Science). Members of the
Senior Leadership each possess a different area of responsibility, perspective, and expertise. Together they
form a strong center to the matrix that is the UVA Cancer Center. Dr. Loughran and the Senior Leadership use
consensus building in interacting with UVA departments and committees and with the Program Leaders to
formulate priorities, develop strategic plans, and allocate resources. They provide recommendations on
integrating research between the Programs, discuss collaborations and discoveries within the Programs, assist
in oversight of the Shared Resources, and help identify synergies in basic and clinical research and in
infrastructure. Collectively, they ensure that the allocation of resources is aligned with the strategic vision of the
Cancer Center.
