## Abstract

Administrative core ABSTRACT
The Administrative Core will be the central hub for all activities of the Texas A&M University Superfund
Research Center. It will be organized around four key functions that will enable it to be an effective and nimble
coordinator of the proposed research, outreach, training, and translation activities: (i) administration and fiscal
management (Administration Function), (ii) integration of cross-disciplinary research (Integration Function), (iii)
facilitating and maintaining connections with stakeholders (Outreach Function), and (iv) quality management
(Quality Management Function). This Core will be physically located in the Department of Veterinary
Integrative Biosciences at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. The Core will be led by Center
Director (Ivan Rusyn) and Associate Director (Anthony Knap), and include an administrative manager and a
fiscal manager. The Core will coordinate Center leadership and activities with two committees. The PIs of the
projects and cores in the Center will form a Scientific Steering Committee, which will meet monthly and be
responsible for: (a) planning Center activities; (b) evaluating progress and considering solutions for challenges;
(c) improving Center integration; (d) overseeing personnel matters; (e) assessing quality
management/assurance; (f) organizing the annual retreat; (g) considering publication and data release
questions; and (h) evaluating community engagement, training, and research translation activities. Oversight of
the Center will be the responsibility of an External Advisory Committee, which will meet annually to perform
program evaluation of the Center and determine whether research, outreach, training, and translation goals
and objectives are being met. A diverse group of experts in their respective disciplines representing academia,
federal and state governmental agencies, industry, and non-governmental organizations will comprise the
External Advisory Committee. Appropriate procedures to ensure excellence of research, support, outreach,
community engagement, translation, and training activities, and the synthesis of findings and outputs from
research projects and cores towards addressing the central theme of the Center have been devised to create a
clear chain of communication and responsibility in the Core and across the entire Center.
