## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 
PART I: Cancer Center Administration undertakes a range of activities essential to maximizing the 
effectiveness of CCSG-supported infrastructure and adding value to the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer 
Center (UCDCCC) research enterprise and the integrated cancer program with the Lawrence Livermore 
National Laboratory (LLNL), submitted as consortium in this application. Administrative oversight of CCSG 
expenditures ensures that they are used only in the ways specified by NCI Guidelines and in the competitive 
renewal proposal for NCI designation. Activities encompass support for scientific programs and collaborations, 
membership coordination, Shared Resources (SR) oversight, developmental funds used for pilot studies, 
recruitment, and developing Shared Resources; clinical trial data management, collection of data for cancer 
related research funding, member publications and leadership activities. The Administration adds value to the 
cancer research effort by planning and organizing scientific meetings such as the weekly cancer biology 
seminars, the annual cancer research symposium, and various collaborative “Innovation Groups”, which 
transcend departmental boundaries. The Innovation Groups were developed with the goal of enhancing 
collaborative interactions and grants, and investigator-initiated clinical trials involving basic, biomedical, 
population science in concert with clinical experts in six disease sites. Administration orchestrates the goals of 
these groups. Central operations, fiscal affairs, contract and grant administration, purchasing, event planning, 
proposal development, public affairs, managing various list serves, communication tools and the Cancer 
Center Web site (http://cancer.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu) are other core services provided by Cancer Center 
Administration to the Director, Associate Directors (ADs), senior leaders and to the membership at large to 
advance strategic plans, new areas of research, and team science. 
PART II: Senior Leadership oversees the mission of the Center and the formation and implementation of its 
strategic plan. They work to ensure that beyond delivering the best possible patient care we also generate and 
disseminate new knowledge. It is the task of leadership to see that the resources available to the Center are 
optimally utilized to maximize the broadest possible input into the process that is Cancer. As a Comprehensive 
Cancer Center we are working to increase our transdisciplinary and translational research in order to 
continually increase our impact within and beyond our catchment area while expanding the scientific scope of 
the center. Senior Leadership accomplished these goals both through individual contributions in an assigned 
area and collectively working as a team.
