## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY (ADMINISTRATIVE CORE)
The overall objective of the Administrative Core is to provide centralized scientific, administrative, and financial
management and oversight of our P20 grant entitled “UHCOP–DLDCCC alliance: Cancer drug discovery/
development and education.” The Administrative Core will 1) foster scientific interactions within the P20 grant
project teams and between the P20 teams and other investigators associated with the pilot projects, 2) ensure
the P20 investigators maintain high-quality, successful research and activities to fulfill their Specific Aims and
objectives, and 3) oversee the development of education-based curricula [the Cancer Research Education
Program (CREP)] that educate underrepresented (UR) trainees in the area of cancer research and ethnic
group–based disparities in cancer incidence/prevalence/prognosis. The Administrative Core will provide
support for tracking grant fund utilization and prepare all reports and future grant submissions associated with
the P20. Drs. Martin M. Matzuk and Diana S.-L. Chow will be the primary individuals responsible for the
Administrative Core, will provide administrative and scientific management of the P20 grant, and will be
responsible for decisions regarding policy matters relating to research priorities or issues within the Pilot
Projects or CREP as well as the overall operation of the P20 grant. The Internal Advisory Committee [(IAC;
three multidisciplinary internal scientific and administrative leaders from each institution: Dan L. Duncan
Comprehensive Cancer Center (DLDCCC)/Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and the University of Houston
(UH)] will provide advice and direction to Drs. Matzuk and Chow, the Pilot Projects, and CREP. The
Administrative Core will coordinate the quarterly meeting of the IAC. The IAC will provide guidance for each
Project and the CREP. Administrative support will be furnished by four talented professionals, two from each
institution and including UR individuals, who will provide multiple administrative and financial management
services and be advocates for our UR community outreach activities. The Administrative Core will be
conveniently located in BCM and in UHCOP buildings close to the Project Investigators at both institutions. All
Project and CREP Leaders will have access to financial, personnel, networking, and computer services. The
Pilot Projects and the CREP will utilize the Administrative Core equally. The Administrative Core and IAC will
guide the P20 Project and CREP Leaders on critical decisions for advancing or halting each project and will
contribute significantly to the success of this P20 proposal.
