## Abstract

Administrative Core (Core A) – Project Summary
 The Administrative Core will ensure that ADCC scientific and programmatic goals are achieved by
providing visionary oversight and effective governance to all Center activities, and scientific direction to the
Center as a whole. The Core will be directed by an Executive Committee, composed of the PI, Associate
Directors, Core and Service Leaders, and the Program Manager. The Executive Committee is guided by an
Internal Advisory Committee (IAC), composed of institutional leaders. The IAC members meet regularly to
facilitate the growth of AD research at Wake Forest. The Core will be also guided by an External Advisory
Committee (EAC), chosen in consultation with the NIA and composed of members of other ADCs and
scientific leaders. We also receive input about ADCC interactions with our community through our community
advisory board. The Administrative Core's Committee for Resource Utilization and Research EXpansion
(CRUX) will oversee a coordinated series of activities to ensure the expansion of AD-related research and
leveraging of ADCC resources by Wake investigators. These activities include: 1) a pilot grant program with
themes of strategic importance to the ADCC; 2) quarterly mini-retreats with other Wake Forest Centers to
foster collaborative research; 3) monthly presentations that provide information about Center resources to
Departments and Centers; 4) partnership with the Clinical Translational Science Institute (CTSI) which serves
as a hub for Wake Forest investigators; and 5) partnership with Wake Forest Innovations', a division that
connects ADCC investigators with industry partners and clinical research organizations (CROs) that can
facilitate their research programs as needed. Through these coordinated activities we will ensure that ADCC
resources contribute to high-impact research and that new clinical and basic scientists are brought into the
field. CRUX will also facilitate the rapid and successful integration of our new ADCC into the existing ADC
network to expand inter-ADC interactions and to rapidly provide our extensive data and biospecimen
resources to NACC, NCRAD, and other ADCs. The Administrative Core will accomplish the following Specific
Aims: 1) to provide leadership and oversight of the Wake Forest ADCC to ensure its coherence,
interdisciplinary nature, and translational focus, and to provide effective stewardship of scientific and
programmatic goals; 2) to develop and oversee strategic activities that expand AD research and education at
Wake Forest and that promote impactful utilization of ADCC resources locally and nationally; 3) to support
novel pilot projects from junior investigators and new AD researchers; 4) to fully integrate the Wake Forest
ADCC into the national ADC network, NACC, and NCRAD; and 5) to ensure that all activities undertaken in
association with the ADCC comply with the most rigorous standards set by university, state, and federal
regulations regarding...
