Administrative Core (Core A)The Administrative Core of the Southwestern Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center (the 'Center') is responsiblefor oversight and coordination of all activities supported by the Center grant. Responsibilities of the Coreinclude submission of annual continuation grants, reports, and responses to queries from NHLBI as well asmaintenance of regular contact with senior administrative personnel at the all of the Center sites regardinggrants administration, contracts management, human resources, and the components of campus researchinfrastructures. Given that the Administrative Core of the Center also supports activities in institutions otherthan the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, execution of contracts and subcontractsfor the delineation of responsibilities and conduct of activities is an important Core function. TheAdministrative Core is also responsible for oversight of the necessary Center committees, including theInternal Advisory Committee (Executive Committee), External Advisory Committee, Community AdvisoryCommittee, and the committees that are part of the Sickle Cell Scholar Program described in Plan 1. TheAdministrative Core will continue to be led by the Center Director and PI, Dr. George R. Buchanan, who willserve as 'Chief Executive Officer' of the Center. He will be ably assisted, as in the current grant cycle, bytwo experienced administrative coordinators, one each at UT Southwestern and Children's Medical CenterDallas. The Administrative Core of the Center is well prepared to serve the national sickle cell communityduring the 2008-2013 grant cycle.
