PROJECT SUMMARY (Administrative / Biostatistics Core) The SuperAging Consortium includes a network of Sites, Cores, multidisciplinary data collection and two Projects. The Administrative/Biostatistics Core will provide governance and fiscal oversight, maintain scientific integrity, deliver data management and biostatistical support, and harmonize the goals and activities of the Cores, Sites, Research Projects, with each other, with the NIA and with extramural collaborators for the SuperAging Consortium. The Admin/Biostats Core will play a pivotal role in integrating the components of the Consortium so the whole is more than the sum of its parts through three Aims. Aim 1 will provide overall leadership, operational, and administrative support for the SuperAging Consortium including coordinating regular meetings among Cores, Projects, data collection Sites, managing reporting, monitoring, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal. Aim 2 will establish an Executive Committee with regular meetings and leadership from each of the components of the SuperAging Consortium and the NIA to proactively facilitate research, and promote the productive utilization of resources generated by the SuperAging Consortium. Aim 3 will appoint a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and ensure their recommendations are implemented. Aim 4 will develop and manage a tightly integrated data repository and provide biostatistical support for the SuperAging Consortium. Collectively, these efforts will enable efficient completion of the investigations outlined here as well as additional intramural and extramural collaborative ventures.
