ABSTRACT – ADMINISTRATIVE CORE The highly integrated nature of the University of Michigan (UM) Kidney, Urology and Hematology Research Training Network (KUHR) requires a robust and active Administrative Core. The major goals of the Core will be to coordinate workflow, distribution of resources and operations assessment of the UM-KUHR, achieved through the following specific aims. Specific Aim 1: To optimize interaction and coordination across the U2C Cores and the TL1 and promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The Administrative Core will oversee program organization, governance, collaboration and communication, as well set the processes for self- evaluation and continued improvement. The Core will facilitate collaborative leadership and communication between U2C Principal Investigators, U2C Professional Development and Networking Cores and TL1 training component Project Leads. It will also coordinate with other institutional training programs and external U2C network institutions. In addition, the Administrative Core will organize, stimulate and evaluate interactions of the Program with our Institutional trainees and mentors to ensure that the networking and educational programs are providing optimal support. It will conduct ongoing review of the Training Program through collection of objective metrics and rigorous feedback from trainees, mentors and the Internal Advisory Board. The Core in consultation with NIDDK will establish an External Evaluation Board (EEB) that would meet annually to review progress and provide feedback for self-improvement. Specific Aim 2: To ensure appropriate allocation of resources for effective administration of the UM-KUHR. The Administrative Core will oversee the resource expenditures of the Program and will be responsible for the reporting to internal and external stakeholders and to the NIH. The Administrative Core, through the Core's Leadership Working Group, will oversee all Cores, ensuring that expenditure of cost-share funds are properly allocated to support educational objectives. Specific Aim 3: To ensure promotion and visibility of the Program across the institution and regional collaborations. The Administrative Core will maintain a website for public use to promote program activities. The Core will continue to support a Regional Educational Retreat for trainees and mentors, including those at our regional sites, to highlight research advances and review trainee research progress. The Core will also assist the NIDDK U2C Network in coordinating the annual NIDDK retreat.
