Director: Chung Lee, PhD The Administrative Core maintains a central and vital role in guiding the SPORE Program through strong leadership and it provides effective program management to all participants in the SPORE Program. The Administrative Core has an active command structure that makes the difficult decisions, with the sole focus of optimizing and aligning research to high priority areas and goals that it identifies both independently (as a function of the established expertise of its membership), as well as in a cooperative fashion with the NCI leadership and the Internal and External Advisory Committees. The Administrative Core facilitates interactions between the different projects and cores, provides appropriate administrative assistance to investigators in the SPORE and manages all SPORE finances. The Core is responsible for the administration of the Developmental Research Program and the Career Development Program, including the advertisement of the availability of funds, assembling the ad hoc review committee and disbursement of funds. It is the administrative infrastructure that assures the highest quality in scientific productivity in translational/interventional prostate cancer research. The Administrative Core keeps abreast of progress of the SPORE through coordinating SPORE monthly meetings, meetings of the Internal Advisory Committee and the External Advisory Committee and an annual SPORE retreat. The Administrative Core encourages intra-SPORE interactions at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago and inter-SPORE interactions with other SPORE programs. |
