## Abstract

Project Summary – Administrative Core (AC)
The role of the Administrative Core (AC) of the Indiana Alzheimer Disease Center (IADC) is to provide strategic
planning, management, resources, and oversight for the center in support of its continued mission. The
significance of this role is based on the compelling national plan to prevent and effectively treat AD by 2025
through innovative research on etiology, early detection, and therapeutics. To help accomplish these goals the
IADC has proposed four overall center aims for the next project period: (1) Support, enhance, and expand
innovative research on AD and related dementias targeting causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention; (2)
Provide critical research resources and infrastructure to support existing studies and enable new innovative
research, including pilot studies; (3) Strongly support local, regional, and national/ international dementia
research collaborations; and, (4) Provide educational and training opportunities related to dementia for learners
of all levels and needs including academic programs for professionals and programs for patients, caregivers
and family members, and the community at-large. The AC is responsible for overall management and strategic
direction of the IADC. Leadership within the center has been extremely stable. In 2013, the center made a
smooth transition of the AC to the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences after Dr. Andrew Saykin
was appointed center director. Dr. Martin Farlow continues to serve as associate director. Brad Glazier, IADC
Administrator since 1999, continues in this important role. The AC has six specific aims: (1) Overall direction
and strategic planning for research on AD and related disorders. The AC will help to leverage existing
strengths of faculty and programs and develop new opportunities for scientific growth and impact. It will also
foster integration among the cores for thematic cohesion. The AC will coordinate the Executive Committee,
including key leaders to advise and help implement the center goals. (2) Provide administrative support,
resource management and oversight functions. (3) Ensure ongoing evaluation and oversight of scientific
progress, research and training including coordinating the Internal and External Advisory Committees. (4)
Advance the IADC goals of fostering and expanding innovative research, training and collaborative academic
activities related to AD. (5) Develop and manage the IADC Pilot Project Program including solicitation of
proposals, a robust and impartial review process, and tracking of outcome metrics based on external funding
and publication; and (6) Serving as an effective interface to important external organizations and promoting
collaboration with other national and international AD research initiatives. This includes interaction with the NIA
as well as the NACC, NCRAD, ADNI, DIAN, ADCS, ADGC and other consortia. The IADC is committed to
accomplishing these aims to support and accelerate...
