## Abstract

ABSTRACT:
Core A (Administrative Core), led by the Program's Principal Investigator, Joe “Skip” G.N. Garcia MD, will
provide essential administrative and secretarial support and ensure overall direction and organization of the
entire Program. In addition, this Core will provide accounting support that will ensure appropriate fiscal and
scientific oversight, monitoring and compliance with federal and institutional grant management regulations, the
latter through several formal mechanisms. The objectives of the Administrative core are: (i) to centralize all
administrative actions and financial recording keeping; (ii) to provide statistical and data processing support for
the projects; (iii) to prepare scientific and financial reports as required by the university and the NHLBI; (iv) to
ensure that the PPG research meets the highest standards through periodic review by the internal and external
review panels; (v) to facilitate the use of common resources; (vi) to provide the projects and cores with a
review of all expenditures on a monthly basis as well as dealing with University Accounting and Grants offices
concerning grant budgets; (vii) to provide the communication venues that foster exchange of scientific
information and ideas and allow highly facile seamless communication between PPG scientists in Chicago and
Tucson; (viii) to coordinate the travel arrangements of UA and UIC investigators for quarterly face-to-face
meetings, 2 meetings in Tucson and 1 meeting in Chicago, 1 meeting during ATS conference (location varies).
As this communication is vital to the success of the program, Core A personnel, will orchestrate the video
conferencing of the: i) weekly meetings of individual Project and Core teams, ii) biweekly meetings of the
Program Committee (led by Core A Leader and PPG PI) where Project and Core leaders discuss scientific and
administrative matters, and iii) regular monthly research seminars that will allow PPG investigators to present
their work in progress to other researchers. In this A1 revised PPG application, we have added to the original
Core A personnel, a faculty-level Core Research Project Coordinator (Dr. Ting Wang) who will facilitate
workflow between Chicago and Tucson, especially with regard to Core B, C, and D experiments and the critical
exchange of reagents between Projects. Finally, Core A will coordinate the inter-project, inter-departmental,
and inter-institutional collaborative arrangements and evolve new arrangements as deemed necessary for the
scientific progress of the Program Project as a whole. Together, these coordinated administrative services will
ensure optimal purchasing practices, facilitate frequent and productive communications between PPG
scientists, and promote the high quality scientific interactions necessary to meet the goals of this translational
PPG.
