## Abstract

SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 
The purpose of the Administrative Core (AC) is to provide and integrate scientific leadership, administrative 
support, and fiscal management, for the entire Program Project. The AC will be located at the Medical 
University of South Carolina (MUSC). The Director of the AC will be K. Michael Cummings, PhD, MPH who 
will also serve as co-PI (along with Dr. Geoffrey Fong) of the Program Project. Dr. Cummings has previously 
served as the PI and AC Director on two prior multi-institutional NIH grants supporting the work of the 
International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation (ITC) Project (P50 CA111236, 2004-2009 and P01 CA138389, 
2009-2015), thus he is very experienced in the operations of the ITC Project and organization and oversight of 
AC services. Mr. Travis Poole, MHA, will serve as the Program Manager for this Program Project. He 
previously served as the Program Manager for MUSC's current P01 (CA138389) and its related supplements 
and therefore is experienced in the operations of a Program Project. The three specific functions of the AC 
include providing: 
1. Project management which includes communications logistics, management of consortium agreements, 
 fiscal oversight and compliance monitoring; 
2. Scientific planning, coordination and evaluation which will involve regular meetings of project and core 
 leaders to develop common definitions and measures to be applied across studies, shared systems for 
 recruiting subjects, tracking policies and new and modified products, supporting pilot studies as appropriate 
 to advance study aims, and soliciting and responding to feedback from an expert external advisory 
 committee; and 
3. dissemination of research findings which will involve implementing policies to support data sharing both 
 within and outside the Program Project, encouraging publication and presentation of research data, and 
 fostering interactions with key stakeholder groups so that the results of the research are disseminated in a 
 timely and effective manner.
