# Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER · 2020 · $319,362

## Abstract

Abstract 
The Administrative Core will run the Enrichment Program and coordinate and integrate the Histology, 
Biochemistry and Molecular Imaging (HBMI) and the Biomechanics, Biomaterials and Multimodal 
Tissue Imaging (BBMTI) Cores to ensure progress of the University of Rochester Resource-Based 
Center for Musculoskeletal Biology and Medicine (URRBCMBM) in an efficient manner. The Internal 
and External Advisory Committees and meeting structure of the Administrative Core are key elements 
of organization of communication and collaboration among the URRBCMBM investigators as well as 
with other faculty in the Center for Musculoskeletal Research and collaborating Departments and 
Centers within the University. The Specific Aims of the Administrative Core are: 1) To maintain state- 
of-the-art resource-based Cores for basic science, translational and clinical musculoskeletal research 
and to utilize these resources in a cost-effective manner to accelerate the pace of discovery and clinical 
translation; 2) To continue to foster our highly collaborative environment that serves as a model for 
translation of basic research to clinical trials within an interacting Resource-Based Center and expand 
our outreach activities. These will promote the use of the resources offered by the Core to new external 
collaborations that will grow our musculoskeletal research base at URMC, nationally and internationally; 
3) To grow our Pilot Grant Program from $100,000 to $200,000 per year with institutional funds and 
philanthropy, which will be targeted to New Investigators as defined by NIH criteria, and to enhance our 
Enrichment Programs beyond these Pilot Grants, the William F. Newman Visiting Professor series, and 
Annual Musculoskeletal Research Symposium, by actively expanding the research community and 
promoting innovative research in musculoskeletal biology and medicine; 4) To maintain our CTSC that 
administers human subject research services in concert with the CTSI to enhance the translation of 
basic science to clinical application and grow collaborative networks with a new emphasis on Big Data 
science and population health research; and 5) To expand our highly successful Mentoring Program, 
which facilitates the advancement of our New Investigators to NIH R01 funded PI and national 
leadership status and implements the highest standards of scientific rigor in response to NIH's plan to 
enhance reproducibility.
