## Abstract

The Administrative Core provides oversight of Center activities. This Core ensures that the Center operates
efficiently, has a sustainable financial model, and is responsive to the needs of the scientific community. The
Administrative Core supports all functions of the VMMPC. These include: a) evaluation of the suitability of
mice submitted for study to the Center; b) consultation in conjunction with core staff as to screening
procedures for mice submitted to the Center; c) oversight of research and development; d) oversight of the
outreach/educational component; e) data management in conjunction with the Central Bioinformatics Unit; and
f) interaction and coordinating services with other national phenotyping centers. This Core is also responsible
for ensuring the Center functions within guidelines established by VUSM and the National Executive Steering
Committee. The Administrative Core consists of the Director (Dr. Wasserman), the Associate Director (Dr.
McGuinness), the Associate Director of Cardiovascular Phenotype and Physiology (Dr. Gumina), a Center
Statistician (Dr. Li), and the Program Coordinator (F. Tripp). Drs. Wasserman, Cone, Peek, Powers, Harris,
Harrison, and Gumina comprise the Center Executive Committee. The Program Coordinator and the Associate
Director are ex officio members of the Executive Committee. Advise and an additional level of oversight is
provided by an Institutional Advisory Committee, which consists of VUSM leaders that have no direct
connection with the Center and a Research Advisory Committee that consists of individuals directing the
research cores.
