## Abstract

The purpose of the Administrative Core is to support the translational research objectives of our SPORE in
Prostate Cancer by serving as the organizational hub, optimizing collaboration among SPORE investigators
within and outside the MSKCC. The specific aims of the Administrative Core are (1) provide coordination for all
educational and scientific activities of the SPORE, and (2) provide centralized administrative support of day-today
activities to all the components of the SPORE: research projects, cores, and developmental programs. The
services centralized in the Administrative Core provide the following administrative and communications
infrastructure that serve all components of the SPORE.
• Financial Management: serving as the centralized SPORE budgetary coordinator and financial manager
• Editorial Services: providing editorial services for manuscript publication and grants coordination
• Grants Administration: serve as administrative liaison to the National Cancer Institute, ensuring the timely
submission of all required reports and compliance with institutional and federal regulations
• Meetings Coordination: organize the scientific review of ongoing SPORE research projects, cores, and pilot
projects as well as the annual solicitation of new pilot projects
• Communication: foster communication and collaborative research within our SPORE as well as with other
SPOREs in Prostate Cancer, the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium (PCCTC), the clinical trials
mechanism for the SPOREs in Prostate Cancer, and the wider scientific community
• Data Management System Support: manage and support the clinical research database, Caisis
The Administration Core is led by Howard I. Scher, MD, who oversees all SPORE activities. The Core’s codirectors,
