## Abstract

ADMINISTRATIVE CORE FOR CENTER MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS
Key Personnel:
Jeffrey D. Laskin, Ph.D., Director and P.I.
Donald Gerecke, Ph.D., Deputy Director
Kristin Borberly, Center Administrator
Linda Everett, Administrative Secretary
Core Summary/Abstract
The Administrative Core is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Center, promoting continuity
and scientific interactions between Center members at Rutgers, Lehigh and New York Medical College
and corporate partners (MRIGlobal, Janssen, Azevam, Bristol Myers Squibb) that facilitate drug
development; the Core will oversee the management and activities of the Research and Development
Projects, the Scientific Support Cores, and the Research Education Core, and be responsible for
establishing, refining and implementing the overall goals of the Center. The Administrative Core will
oversee research project milestones, ensuring that they are defined with quantitative success criteria that
facilitate go/no go decisions, and that they advance the goals of the Center. The Core will ensure that
project specific aims facilitate synergism between the research cores, and that the research is integrated
into the overall goals, objectives and milestones of the Center. The Administrative Core will oversee the
effective use of Scientific Support Core resources to further research and development activities. It will
also provide an effective planning and evaluation process that assesses productivity of research projects
and allocation of resources. Additional activities of the Administrative Core include providing statistical
support, coordinating intellectual property and patenting, establishing goals and metrics, communicating
with institutional officials, and oversight of progression of candidate therapeutics. By effective management
of the Center, the Administrative Core will ensure that the overall Rutgers CounterACT Center will continue
to be highly integrated and be greater than the sum of its parts.
