# Developmental Mechanisms of Trachea-Esophageal Birth Defects

> **NIH NIH P01** · CINCINNATI CHILDRENS HOSP MED CTR · 2020 · $65,908

## Abstract

This program includes three integrated projects, across two institutions, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical 
Center (CCHMC) and Columbia University and includes multiple divisions and institutes. The program 
proposes broad and ambitious aims that encompass recruitment of patients with tracheaesophageal birth 
defects for phenotyping and genotyping, animal modeling of birth defects, and human tissue generation. To 
support these efforts we propose two cores, the Integrated Genomics Core and this Administrative Core. The 
Administrative Core will play several essential roles in helping to coordinate and ultimately achieve these 
ambitious goals. Importantly, the administrative core will allow the principle investigators to focus on the clinical 
and scientific aspects of this program. The administrative core will be responsible for scientific administration 
and coordination, monitoring of scientific progress, personnel management, compliance with regulatory 
assurances, communication within the program, organizing an annual retreat in Cincinnati, financial 
administration and budget oversight, and to help coordinate the sharing of new reagents and model systems, 
as well as help with sharing data between projects.
