AdministrationThe Harold Goodglass Aphasia Research Center (HGARC) is a consortium of researchers whoare investigating the neural underpinnings of language. Through the P30 mechanism, the HGARCcapitalizes on the long-standing cooperative and cohesive interaction of the institutions in theconsortium and the clinical entities that refer potential research participants to the HGARC forevaluation. Cooperating institutions and entities include Boston University School of Medicine; VABoston Healthcare System; Brandeis University; Brown University; Boston College; HarvardUniversity; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of HealthProfessionals; Emerson College: Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital; HEALTHSOUTH BraintreeHospital, HEALTHSOUTH New England Rehabilitation Hospital; HEALTHSOUTH Ludlow; Beth IsraelDeaconess Medical Center; and Brigham and Women's Hospital.Dr. Martin L. Albert, as the P30 Principal Investigator and Core Center Director, and Dr. KristineLundgren, Administrative and Clinical Director, are responsible for overall leadership of the P30 CoreCenter and the day-to-day operational management. The Administrative Core is the operational hub ofthe P30 Core Center. Dr. Albert establishes procedures for utilization of resources, coordinatesactivities of the P30 Core Center staff, and administers the fiscal, personnel, and physical facilities ofthe Core Center. Drs. Albert and Lundgren work together on regularly recurring tasks and ad hocproblem-solving, including Core utilization, human studies issues, subject protection, programcoordination, and program planning and evaluation. Drs. Albert and Lundgren provide liaison with thestaff of other entities with which the P30 is administratively linked; these include the VA BostonHealthcare System Administration; the Psychology, Audiology/Speech Pathology, Research, andRadiology Services of the VA Medical Center; the Neurology Department of Boston University MedicalSchool; and the Office of Research Administration of Boston University School of Medicine.Organizational and Administrative StructureThe description of the administrative structure is presented in four sections: chain of responsibility fordecision-making and administration; specific managerial responsibilities; determining the distribution andutilization of funds for cores; relation to applicant institution.
