# Core A: Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH U19** · EMORY UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $127,248

## Abstract

The major objectives of the Administrative Core of the Cooperative Center on Human Immunology at the Emory
Vaccine Center (CCHI-EVC) are to institute streamlined processes facilitating productive interactions among the
investigators of the renewal grant application entitled “Vaccine Induced Immunity in the Young and Aged”. In
order to achieve these objectives and to ensure a seamless operation of the Core, we will establish an Operations
Office, which will be responsible for carrying out the following activities/functions at the CCHI-EVC:
1) Provide the infrastructure for the overall management and co-ordination. 2) Facilitate and promote
communication and interaction among the PIs/investigators (Research Projects, Technology Development
Project and Cores) by conducting regular teleconferences/face-to-face meetings, annual meetings, as well as
seminars/symposia on human immunology of bio-defense pathogens. 3) Resolve all or any potential conflicts
that might arise within and outside of CCHI-EVC by implementing recommendations of the Conflicts Resolution
Group. 4) Provide fiscal/scientific oversight, review and consolidate yearly progress reports sent to the NIH. 5)
Protect intellectual property rights of CCHI-EVC investigators and to execute material transfer agreements. 6)
Facilitate data management/sharing among investigators in and out of CCHI-EVC.
Thus, the Administrative Core is organized to foster a high degree of synergy and productive interaction among
investigators for achieving success in the overall objectives of CCHI-EVC.
