The Administrative Core (directed by Sadis Matalon, PhD) will provide the proper framework that will support,encourage and focus the research efforts of the three projects and of the Exposure Core Facility. This willensure that all investigators work together as a group, the research efforts remain focused and well integratedand the individual projects generate high quality research to complete their milestones in a timely fashion. Dr.Matalon will also ensure that Dr. Sven Jordt, in spite of the geographical separation, remains well integratedwith the rest of the members. In addition the Administrative Core will be responsible for the establishment andmaintenance of a Center Website, as specified by the CounterAct Network regulations. Finally, the Directorwill be in constant touch with NIH personnel and will update the investigators and co-investigators on recentdevelopments.
