## Abstract

Core Summary/Abstract
Center Director, Dr. Robert Tukey, will head of the Administrative Core and will ensure that the individual
research projects and cores meet the goals outlined by NIEHS and operate in a highly integrated fashion. The
overall objective of this core is to foster effective science-to-science-communication internally within the SRP UC
San Diego Center (UCSS SRC), and to disseminate these findings in a way that will be useful to government
agencies and our collaborative partners. Through technology transfer and data dissemination, this process will
ensure that the sharing of our research efforts will have the greatest impact on society. With assistance from Dr.
Michael Karin, the Deputy/Scientific Director, and Michelle Feiock, the Center Administrator, the Director will
lead the core in achieving its three main aims: 1) To plan and coordinate research activities: The staff of the
Administrative Core will work together to provide the necessary services to meet the needs of the research
faculty and to assure that their projects operate in a smooth and efficient fashion. The Administrative Core will
also work with the individual Project and Core Leaders, Research Translation Core and the UCSD Technology
Transfer office to examine the commercial applicability of and facilitate the translation of applicable technologies
developed during the funding period. 2) To integrate cross-disciplinary research through communication: The
core will serve as a central point of contact for the organization of all program meetings including Internal and
External Advisory Committees, on-campus and off campus Community Engagement Core (CEC) and Research
Translation Core (RTC) meetings, Distinguished Seminar Series, monthly Principal Investigator seminar series,
and other working group meetings such as graduate student seminars. In collaboration with Michelle Feiock, the
Director will coordinate all of the administrative activities of the UCSD SRC, and ensure that effective and timely
communications are occurring with government agencies and research partners. The Administrative Core is also
responsible for coordinating yearly travel of the trainees and investigators to the yearly NIEHS Superfund Annual
Meeting. 3) Oversee the financial and resource management of the program: Michelle Feiock, Center
Administrator, will direct all financial aspects of the program. Through consistent communication, she will ensure
each Project/Core is up to date regarding their financial status, thus enabling them to effectively achieve their
research aims. In coordination with University staff, she will also provide NIEHS with all required documents,
including the P42 Center Annual Updates and the non-competitive competitive renewals.
