## Abstract

CORE A: ADMINISTRATIVE CORE
ABSTRACT (CORE A)
The Administrative Core will oversee and coordinate the scientific and administrative operations of the MMPC-
UCD, support the management and operation of the Center, and foster interactions and synergism among
Center scientific cores and the research projects they support, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that the
Center meets the annual milestones established in collaboration with the MMPC National Consortium. The
goals of the Administrative Core will be to establish, standardize, document, distribute, and implement
phenotyping protocols, coordinate activities between requesting investigators and the Animal Care and
Phenotyping Cores, assume budgetary oversight and fiduciary responsibility for Center finances, oversee
communication between Center staff and clients, including data entry into the MMPC database, and conduct
quality control and general support activities. The Core will implement an Administrative Plan to ensure
efficient and cost effective oversight and management of all Center functions. The Core will also establish and
execute a Service Plan for accepting and prioritizing incoming mouse lines for phenotyping including oversight
of the importation and workflow assignments for mice and mouse tissues submitted for services. The Core will
implement a Business Plan to ensure fiduciary management and control of Center finances, including a few
structure to enable partial cost-recovery for phenotyping services. In consultation with the Coordinating and
Bioinformatics Unit (CBU), the Core will use MMPC-web-based business tools to facilitate client-provider
interaction and help maintain Center budgetary and workflow records. The Core, led by the Center Director
and assisted by a Center Administrator, exists to ensure the effectiveness, efficiency, and success of the
Center.
