## Abstract

CORE A PROJECT SUMMARY
The function of Administrative Core A is to provide administrative coordination of scientific activities, effective
communication for the entire program. The success of this PPG is also dependent on responsible use of funds
and resources. The core will co-ordinate meetings and facilitate completion of paperwork, forms, approvals,
and scheduling matters, which will increase efficiency and allow PIs and Co-PIs to afford more time to their
projects. Another task will be to communicate effectively and in timely manner with the administrators at the
National Institutes of Health as well as to ensure statutory compliance/IRB requirements for clinical
assessments of Project III.
 Core A duties will be carried out by the Program Manager/Administrative Assistant (Joan Warner, 4.8m
effort) under the direction of Dr. Kupiec-Weglinski (0.6m effort), and by the Financial Manager/Grants Financial
Specialist at the Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center (Gina Ruiz, 1.2m effort).
 Core A will coordinate all personnel issues between departments. Ms. Joan Warner will be responsible for
scheduling and coordinating monthly meetings between the PIs, assisting with the preparation of joint
abstracts, manuscripts, conference presentations and progress reports, as well as maintaining liaison between
the groups interacting in the Program. She will also schedule meetings of the internal advisory board (twice
yearly) and with the external advisory committee (once yearly) to evaluate scientific merit of ongoing or newly
proposed studies and performance of funded investigators. Ms. Warner will arrange all travel accommodations
and reimbursements for participants of these meetings. Other responsibilities of the core include handling
budgets, accounting and tracking of expenditures as well as preparation of annual budgets for renewals. These
responsibilities will be carried out by Ms. Gina Ruiz.
