## Abstract

ABSTRACT – ADMINISTRATIVE CORE
Core A, the Administrative Core, will serve the proposed project “Genetic variant-based drug discovery
targeting conserved pathways of aging”, which is in response to PAR-16-143 "Complex Integrated Multi-
Component Projects in Aging Research (U19)". The overall goals of the Administrative Core are to provide
general scientific, programmatic and fiscal leadership, facilitate lines of communication between the different
researchers involved in the U19 Project Grant (U19), maintain coherence in the U19's overall and long-range
goals, and ensure that resources resulting from the research will benefit the scientific community. In the
context of the above, the tasks of this Core include effective coordination of activities in the three Research
Projects and the Genetically Engineered Mouse and Geropathology Core B to best achieve the overall goal of
identifying conserved mechanisms of human health span and genetic variants and miRNAs as potential drug
targets to promote human healthy aging. Well-coordinated activities of the three Projects and Core B will
promote the effective use of the human centenarian cohort to obtain genetic information critical for developing
targets for drugs promoting human healthspan, the mobilization of new technology and tools that can help us
accomplish our tasks more quickly and efficiently, providing computational and statistical services to all
members of the U19 and providing access by the scientific community to the resources, information and
technologies produced.
