Administrative Core Abstract The Administrative Core will support the overall work of the Alzheimer Biomarker Consortium-Down Syndrome (ABC-DS), which includes eight Clinical Performance sites, seven Cores, three Research Projects and seven research subcontractors. Core staff will organize and coordinate activities and communication across each of these components. This will include providing administrative and budgetary support and monitoring, arranging and organizing meetings, and working closely with the ABC-DS Steering Committee to establish policies and procedures, delineate protocols, monitor recruitment, and track bio-specimen collection, dissemination and storage. In collaboration with the Neuroimaging Core, staff will coordinate all FDA regulatory requirements related to PET radiopharmaceutical production. Finally, the Administrative Core will provide support to the ABC- DS Publications and Ancillary Studies Committee and ABC-DS Bio-specimen Committee, organize annual NIA progress reports and twice-annual DSMB reports, and work closely with the Central IRB.
