## Abstract

ADMINISTRATIVE CORE – Project Summary
 The Administrative Core of the P30 Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH), under the
leadership of the Center Director’s Office, will facilitate and support the activities of all five Cores of CTBH, so
that all Cores collectively achieve the Overall Aim of the Center. Specifically, the Administrative Core will
“enable the integration of expertise across multiple disciplines and provide an infrastructure to enhance the
quality, pace of achievement, and impact of innovative scientific research [provided by all five CTBH Cores]
that combines science-based behavior change interventions with state-of-the-science technologies to create,
evaluate, and disseminate technology-based interventions targeting SUDs and related issues (including HIV
risk behavior and psychiatric comorbidities)”.
 In our initial 3.5 year funding period, - in order to optimize performance among Center collaborators -
we grounded our organizational structure, management approach and communication infrastructure within the
Administrative Core in empirically-based strategies to optimize communication, collaboration and productivity
among geographically dispersed teams. To date, we have found that this model is particularly well-suited to
CTBH, given the Center’s focus on transcending traditional models of intervention delivery to use state-of-the-
science technologies to overcome time and space constraints to deliver behavior change interventions, on-
demand, in a wide array of settings. However, during the initial funding period of the P30 Center, we have
also continually refined our model based on lessons learned during collaborations with Center affiliates (e.g.,
regarding optimal models for engaging advisory board consultants). As detailed in this Core, we plan to
continue effective communication and collaboration with our Center partners using approaches that are
grounded in this empirical literature and in light of our learning experiences to date.
 This Core will provide a scientific and programmatic leadership that ensures efficient and successful
coordination and integration of the activities across Center Cores. The overall programmatic structure and
management approach has been designed to ensure scientific leadership and direction, under the oversight of
the Director’s Office, that effectively promotes interdisciplinary scientific interactions, provides internal quality
control of research activities, collaborative publications, pilot projects, and generation of future grant
applications, while maximally utilizing the Center’s research capabilities. Additionally, this Core will provide an
infrastructure to enhance synergy among an interdisciplinary expert team by facilitating more productive
communication, centralization of knowledge and resources, and integration of methods and results across
individual research projects.
