## Abstract

ABTRACT: Administrative Core. The overall goal of the University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic Lymphoma
SPORE (SPORE) Administration Core is to stimulate research in lymphoma and to expedite the
translation of discoveries into new and better methods of prevention, detection, and treatment of
lymphoma. The Administration Core has served well as the organizational hub of SPORE during the
prior funding periods. During the next grant period, it will continue to provide an organizational structure
designed to coordinate the activities of the research projects, scientific cores, and developmental
programs (Developmental Research Program, Career Enhancement Program) at both institutions. The
Administration Core will be responsible for coordinating the function of the SPORE committees
including the Executive Committee, the External Advisory Committee, the Internal Advisory Committee
and the Patient Advocate Group. Dr. George Weiner and Dr. Thomas Witzig, the SPORE Co-PIs, will
serve as Co-Directors of the Administration Core. Weiner and Witzig functioned well as a team during
the prior funding periods, and will continue to work collaboratively to provide oversight of SPORE
activities. The Administration Core will 1) Provide leadership, organizational support, and financial
management for SPORE investigators; 2) Coordinate communication and collaboration between Iowa
and Mayo, including support for exchange of ideas between investigators, design of new projects,
conduct of translational research, and reporting of translational research findings; 3) Provide
information transfer to the scientific community and the public; 4) Provide leadership and organizational
support for interactions with the External and Internal Advisory Committees, as well as external and
internal review for SPORE research projects; 5) Provide the structure for the establishment and nurture
of collaborations to facilitate and expand lymphoma research including interactions between Iowa and
Mayo; 6) Work closely with SPORE patient advocates so that they are aware of the progress of the
SPORE, and facilitate their ability to provide input at all levels; 7) Foster young investigator
development; 8) Communicate with the NCI.
