The program director, Dr. David P. Hajjar, will continue to assume overallresponsibility for the scientific conduct of this program and he will set overall goals, actingwith the advice of the Executive Committee of the PPG (the other principal investigators ofeach of the projects: Drs. Marcus, K. Hajjar, Hempstead, and Gross). Drs. D. Hajjar andK. Hajjar will coordinate the interchange of data and insure integration of results andplanning.The investigators and staff from each project meet weekly for Research-in-Progressseminars. These meetings on Wednesdays at noon are currently structured so that areview of each project occurs regularly (usually every two months). Invited seminarspeakers also participate, when possible, in these weekly conferences.The Administrative Core will provide financial management, including projectedexpenditures to the Principal Investigators at four month intervals from our financial database. The Core will provide support services in the area of personnel. The Core will alsoassist the investigators in the preparation of their Animal and Human Rights Forms. At thistime, the Executive Committee will meet to discuss fiscal matters, major issues involvingspace, new equipment needs, selection of outside speakers whose research presentationsmay help the individual projects, and any re-allocation of support, if necessary. Theprogress of the junior investigators and fellows will also be evaluated in bi-monthlyintervals, as it relates to the PPG. Post-Doctoral fellows are also assigned to each projectby Dr. D. Hajjar since he is Director of the NIH Training Program in CardiovascularBiochemistry and Atherosclerosis (as he has been for the past 25 years) or by Dr. B.Hempstead, since she is the Director of her own NIH Training grant in ExperimentalHematology.
