The primary objectives of the Administrative Core of the Johns Hopkins Rheumatic DiseasesResource-based Core Center (RDRCC) are to integrate all scientific and enrichment activities ofthe Cores, maintain communication between the Cores and with the research base, and providebudgetary management and oversight, all within the context of the overall Divisional andinstitutional clinical/ translational research framework. The RDRCC and its Administrative Coreis led by Drs. Antony Rosen and Clifton Bingham (as Co-Directors). Their complementaryresearch approaches from the opposite ends of the research spectrum (laboratory and clinicalrespectively) underscore the Center's ability to enable research along the entire translationalresearch continuum.
The Specific Aims of the Administrative Core of the RDRCC are to:1)Oversee, coordinate, and actively manage the logistic and financial aspects of three ScientificCores (Core B--Research Management and Patient Integrated Data [RAPID], Core C--SampleProcessing and Immunoassay Research, SPIRE; and Core D--Data Science); 2) Continuallywork to decrease barriers to effective, cross-disciplinary interaction amongst investigatorsfocused on the rheumatic diseases; 3) Use innovative approaches to interface with theDivisional Discovery Fund program and institutional resources to maximize RDRCC Coreutilization by novel projects focused on the rheumatic diseases; 4) Foster the careers of juniorinvestigators; 5) Initiate and support innovative collaborations between Center investigators andinvestigators new to rheumatic diseases with complementary expertise and interests; 6)Coordinate a program of enrichment activities to enhance research methodological literacy andthe overall intellectual environment across disciplines. Each of these components will worktogether through the Administrative Core to enable research in the Rheumatic Diseases tothrive and expand.
