Project Summary - Administrative Core The Administrative Core of the Integrative Center for Environmental Microbiomes and Human Health COBRE (ICEMHH) will be directed by Dr. Anthony Amend (Associate Professor, Pacific Biosciences Research Center (PBRC)), with the day-to-day administrative activities of the core coordinated by Dr. Marilou Andres (Assistant Researcher, PBRC). The principal function of the Administrative Core is to facilitate the effective and efficient functioning of this COBRE at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa (UHM). This Core will oversee strengthening and enhancement of the Center through the development, mentoring and graduating of the research project leaders (RPLs). It will organize the meetings of the Administrative Core Team composed of project mentors, core leaders, the executive committee and RPLs, and will facilitate the communication of all Center personnel. It will also organize the twice-yearly meetings with the Advisory Committee (AC). The Administrative Core will prepare progress reports and provide these to the AC and NIH, and serve as a dynamic link between this COBRE and UHM, other UHM COBREs, and the UHM INBRE program, including assuming leadership of the joint IDeA Mentoship Bootcamp. It will also be responsible for the full logistical and administrative support of both the individual RPL projects and their supporting core facilities. Such efforts will include maintaining all aspects of the budget, staff records, equipment inventories, and advice on manuscript preparation and support for proposal submission. The Core will support a yearly meeting to bring in leaders in the field of microbiome research to discuss their work and the intellectual context in which the Center is expanding. The Administrative Core will additionally develop a data portal to help standardize and streamline Microbiome research and outputs. Finally, this Core will be responsible for executing all evaluation, assessment and any corrective actions for the COBRE.
