## Abstract

7. Project Summary- LAC
The Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC) will ensure that the UM-OAIC provides support for training the
next generation of scientists pursuing research careers in aging, and the conduct of novel research directed at
the UM-OAIC goals of: 1) advancing our understanding of the mechanisms by which exercise and activity-
based rehabilitation interventions directed at specific impairments affect multiple body systems underlying
functional performance; and 2) developing and testing interventions to restore function and minimize disability
following acute disabling events and gradual declines related to serious chronic diseases. The LAC combines
the administrative and leadership skills of an established leader who is an epidemiologist and gerontologist,
and director of the campus-wide Center for Research on Aging, with the clinical research strengths of an
experienced geriatrician and leader in the Veterans Administration Medical Center (co-leader for clinical
operations and medical director), and those of a senior scientist who does mechanistic research on the effects
of exercise and physical activity and leads resource cores in multiple funded centers of excellence (co-leader
for research). These leaders will guide an experienced multidisciplinary team of investigators in an integrated
program that builds on the sciences and therapeutic applications of exercise and rehabilitation. The LAC
receives advice and guidance on RC operations, resource allocation, research progress, and strategies for
expanding aging research at the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) and with other OAICs from an
External Advisory Board (EAB) of national leaders in aging research, and an Internal Advisory Committee
(IAC) of research and administrative leaders at UMB that are not part of the UM-OAIC. A Research and
Education Advisory Committee (REAC) serves as an advisory panel for LAC, PESC, and REC leaders on the
UM-OAIC’s research and training activities, and provides reviews of pilot and development projects and faculty
scholar applications. Internal and External DSMBs review data quality, patient safety, IRB compliance, and
ethical conduct of research. The LAC receives outstanding intellectual and financial support from University of
Maryland leaders to achieve the research and research training goals of the UM-OAIC. The LAC will foster
ongoing discussion among core leaders and faculty scholars to ensure that research and research training are
carried out in a cohesive, coordinated and integrated manner. The LAC also will engage scientists and
educators from across the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) so that research and research training can
take full advantage of the breadth and depth of experience and resources to advance UM-OAIC goals. The
LAC aims include: enriching the cadre of translational scientists pursuing aging research; advancing the
careers of junior faculty to become independent investigators; developing resources to sup...
