## Abstract

Project Summary
The major objective of the Administrative Core is the coordination of project administration for the National
Metabolomics Data Repository (NMDR). Any modern data repository should be founded on the principles of
findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR). The Admin Core will establish the guidelines that
will ensure that the NMDR will fulfil the FAIR paradigm with scalability, extensibility, and portability. The execution
of this vision will be accomplished by organizing a clear, shared vision amongst the cores within NMDR and
communicating this vision to all the stakeholders in the metabolomics consortium. The Admin Core will form an
executive committee consisting of the NMDR core leaders who will develop mechanisms for seamless
interactions between the cores. The Admin Core will also develop modes of interactions with the SEPCC and
the Governing Body to receive timely advice on the developments in the data repository. One of the key goals
of the Admin Core will be develop communication strategies to benefit the public, through presentation in multiple
forms of media, of developments in the repository in a timely manner. Further, the Admin Core will help develop
metrics to evaluate the progress and success of NMDR. Finally, an essential task of the Admin Core will be to
develop a succession plan at the end of four years to ensure sustainability of the data repository in the long term;
a mechanism to achieve this is proposed in this Core.
