To effectively accomplish the broad YCC programmatic reorganization, expansion of the ClinicalInvestigations program, and incorporation of operational oversight of Medical Oncology, the Center'sAdministration has itself been reconfigured, under new leadership. The primary responsibilities of theAdministration remain efficient provision of support and services requisite for efficient management of itsResearch Programs and Shared Resources, programmatic planning and evaluation, facilitation of researchactivities for YCC program members, fiscal management of the Center, strategic planning, and researchspace supervision and resource allocation. However, in parallel with the dramatic growth of the Center'sinfluence within the Medical Center, each of these component administrative activities have expanded inscope. For the past three years, the YCC Administration has been led by Ms. Nancy Scanlon, the DeputyDirector for Administration. Ms. Scanlon brings extensive past experience as chief administrator of a YaleMedical School department, with highly developed integrated academic, clinical practice, clinical investigativeand basic science research components. Her familiarity with institutional structure and function has beeninvaluable, as the domain of the YCC has substantially increased. Ms. Scanlon is supported by a team ofhighly skilled individuals with complementary expertise. YCC's administrative leadership is now moreprominently positioned in the Medical Center, with far more extensive interactions with Medical School,Hospital and University leadership. With a large contingent of new Research Program leaders, a new set ofYCC Associate Directors with newly defined responsibilities, a marked influx of recruited senior clinicalinvestigators, tightening of YCC membership criteria, and major augmentation of community relations andfundraising initiatives, the Administration has faced numerous challenges effectively. The responsibilities ofthe Center's Administration will continue to grow during the next project period, in order to continue to meetthe needs of increasingly active membership and expanding research base. The YCC employs approximately145 management and clerical staff members and has an overall operations budget of over $22 million of whichover $12 million is research related. This CCSG budget request is for 6% ($115,953) of the total YCCAdministration budget ($1.8 million).
