## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY - Administrative Core (Core A)
The Administrative Core (Core A) is responsible for the overall scientific and administrative management and
oversight of the Contraceptive Discovery, Development, and Behavioral Research Center. Core A will ensure
that the Center is highly collaborative, multidisciplinary and effective in conducting contraception-related
research with the ultimate team goal of developing effective, safe and reversible non-hormonal male
contraceptive agents and improving contraceptive use. This overall goal will be achieved through the following
Specific Aims of Core A: Specific Aim 1. Provide leadership for the overall direction for the U54 Center; Specific
Aim 2. Promote collaboration and research partnerships among Center members and nationally among U54 and
U01 programs; and Specific Aim 3. Ensure productivity, efficiency, and accountability of all Center components
including the Cores, the contraception Research Projects and Pilot Projects.
An Internal Advisory Committee (IAC) and an External Advisory Board (EAB) will review research approaches,
research results, and future goals, thereby contributing to the overall success of the Center. Effective
communication across the Center is critical and mechanisms such as regular team meetings, meetings with the
IAC, the EAB and the NICHD program officers are planned. Pilot Project funding has been set aside in the budget
of Core A. Peer review of Pilot Project proposals will be managed by Core A and recommendations for funding
will be made by the EAB to the NICHD. This Core will also take an active role in mentoring and supporting early
stage investigators. Furthermore, Core A will promote the sharing of expertise and reagents, and the initiation of
collaborations with other contraceptive U54 Centers and U01 grantees.
