Drs. Harry Gibbs and [Gabriel Lopez-Berestein] will serve as the Co-leaders for the Administrative Core for MDACC, along with Dr. Reynold Lopez-Enriquez for the UPRCCC.

DuBois and Frontera, as Lead/Contact Pis, will be responsible for the overall management, implementation and coordination of all Partnership activities through the Administrative Core.] As MDACC values its commitment to eliminating cancer health disparities in minority populations, it is imperative to point out the strategic placement of the overall management of MDACC's Administrative Core in the Office of Institutional Diversity (OID) under Dr. Harry Gibb's leadership expertise. [Dr. Gibbs has served as the Co-leader of the Administrative Core for the last 5 years. As Vice President of Institutional Diversity for MDACC, he reports directly to Drs. DuBois and Mendelsohn.

Although there are roughly 2000 miles between MDACC and the UPRCCC, the Administrative Cores has functioned seamlessly and will continue to do so throughout the next five years. To ensure solid oversight of the Administrative Core, the Pis have met with the Administrative Core Co-leaders and program directors to determine what has worked best during the past five years.
