A/Administrative Structure and Function Administrative Core personnel will oversee activities to achieve Center aims 1 and 4 and support the scientific cores (Mixed Methods Research and Nursing and Healthcare Informatics) in achieving aims 2 and 3. Specifically, the Administrative Core aims are to: 1. Facilitate the development of successful investigator-initiated programs of research through individual and group mentoring, critiquing, and editorial services for proposal and manuscript development. We will achieve this aim by disseminating information about funding mechanisms related to end-oflife and palliative care, using email and Website and conducting forums (e.g., roundtables, mock reviews, think tanks, writing groups, mentors, conferences, continuing education) for motivating and inspiring investigator exchanges and consultations related to growing and disseminating the science of end of life. 2. Link novice investigators with available resources (people, technology, programs) within UIC and the UIC College of Nursing that will facilitate their successful development as independent researchers. We will achieve this aim by expanding the multiethnic resource base within the CRRVP-developed library of instruments and linking the information from advisory boards or groups in the form of written recruitment and retention guides for studies with people facing the end-of-life transition.
