To effectively accomplish the broad YCC programmatic reorganization, expansion of the Clinical Investigations program, and incorporation of operational oversight of Medical Oncology, the Center's Administration has itself been reconfigured, under new leadership. The primary responsibilities of the Administration remain efficient provision of support and services requisite for efficient management of its Research Programs and Shared Resources, programmatic planning and evaluation, facilitation of research activities for YCC program members, fiscal management of the Center, strategic planning, and research space supervision and resource allocation. However, in parallel with the dramatic growth of the Center's influence within the Medical Center, each of these component administrative activities have expanded in scope. For the past three years, the YCC Administration has been led by Ms. Nancy Scanlon, the Deputy Director for Administration. Ms. Scanlon brings extensive past experience as chief administrator of a Yale Medical School department, with highly developed integrated academic, clinical practice, clinical investigative and basic science research components. Her familiarity with institutional structure and function has been invaluable, as the domain of the YCC has substantially increased. Ms. Scanlon is supported by a team of highly skilled individuals with complementary expertise. YCC's administrative leadership is now more prominently positioned in the Medical Center, with far more extensive interactions with Medical School, Hospital and University leadership. With a large contingent of new Research Program leaders, a new set of YCC Associate Directors with newly defined responsibilities, a marked influx of recruited senior clinical investigators, tightening of YCC membership criteria, and major augmentation of community relations and fundraising initiatives, the Administration has faced numerous challenges effectively. The responsibilities of the Center's Administration will continue to grow during the next project period, in order to continue to meet the needs of increasingly active membership and expanding research base. The YCC employs approximately 145 management and clerical staff members and has an overall operations budget of over $22 million of which over $12 million is research related. This CCSG budget request is for 6% ($115,953) of the total YCC Administration budget ($1.8 million).
