The Administrative Core will be the SPHERE Center's central resource for management, coordination, and 
support of the center's overall goals and of each of the individual Projects and Cores. This Core will be led by 
Drs. Cullen and Maldonado, co-Program Directors, a Steering Committee, and an Executive Director. This 
Core has the support and commitment of the institution at this highest levels. (See the attached letters of
