## Abstract

ABSTRACT 
The Administrative Core is the operational hub of the USC Research Center for Liver Diseases (RCLD). It is 
responsible for integrating all components of the RCLD into a cohesive entity. The mission of fostering and 
facilitating collaborative liver and digestive disease-related research through provision of essential scientific 
cores, enrichment program, pilot/feasibility, and thematic direction is accomplished through the important 
functions of the Administrative Core and its staff. The Administrative Core has the following aims: 1) Provide 
scientific and administrative leadership and direction through the Director, Associate, and Assistant Directors to 
the entire enterprise to provide a focus on liver research, enhance collaborative interactions between 
members, attract new members, foster mentoring and career development of trainees and junior faculty; 2) 
Organize and support an Executive Committee and External Scientific Advisory Board to join with the leaders 
of the Center in guiding its operation through oversight of the Scientific Cores to ensure their ability to provide 
vital, cost effective services, provide oversight of the P/F project program, and the overall finances; allocation 
of resources; 3) Provide administrative staff support for the activities of the Executive Committee, External 
Scientific Advisory Board, the enrichment program (Seminars/Annual symposium), and oversight and 
assistance to the Scientific Cores by coordinating budgets, the maintenance of records of utilization and 
chargebacks, communication with the membership, the NIDDK and other Digestive Disease Centers and 
tracking of members' funding, publications and collaborations; 4) Enhance communication with and between 
Center members and the entire University community through email announcements and the 
establishment/maintenance of a Center website which describes the goals of the Center and its services, 
enrichment activities and access to Center Cores, and seeks feedback. The ultimate goal is to steer the 
Center, integrate its activities, be responsive to the ever changing needs of the members, and be proactive in 
negotiating with the University and its components to maximize institutional support for the Center.
