PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The Administrative Core of the UT Southwestern O'Brien Kidney Center is the hub of operations and provides
scientific, administrative and fiscal oversight of the entire O'Brien Center. The Administrative Core supports the
attainment of the Center's goals through a simple yet effective administrative structure that can readily adapt to
the changing needs of investigators and the emergence of new technologies. The Administrate Core ensures
the O'Brien Center efficiently interacts with core users as well as other core facilities, centers, and educational
programs at UT Southwestern. Additionally, the Administrative Core oversees the Pilot and Feasibility Program
and the Educational Enrichment Programs to insure that they are operating smoothly, efficiently, and meeting
the needs of the participants. The specific aims for the next funding cycle are: 1) Provide fiscal and administrative
oversight of the Biomedical Research Cores, 2) Administer the Pilot and Feasibility Program in grant applications,
reviews, and funding, 3) Support the Educational Enrichment Program by arranging the seminar series and
annual symposium, 4) Provide fiscal oversight of all of the Center's operations including coordination of
intramural support, 5) Continue to expand the user base of the Center.
To achieve these goals, the UT Southwestern O'Brien Kidney Center is led by an Executive Committee
comprised of senior faculty in UT Southwestern working with the Center Director, Associate Director, and Center
Administrator. This central entity oversees the operatives which composed of the Directors of each of the
Biomedical Research Cores, and the Directors of the P&F Program and Enrichment Program. An External
Advisory Board comprised of top academic leaders in adult and pediatric nephrology with expertise in basic and
clinical research, advices the Center Director and the Executive Committee and participates in the review and
selection of the Pilot and Feasibility grants.
