ABSTRACT The Administrative Core of the Boston Area Diabetes and Endocrinology Research Center (BADERC) is responsible for the proper operation of the Center. It is overseen by the Center Director Dr. Jose Florez, in collaboration with the Associate Directors, Drs. Barbara Kahn and Alexander Soukas, and the Center Program Manager Pamela Ricevuto. Senior fiscal oversight is provided by Nancy Kingori. The Administrative Core sets the policies of the Center, coordinates and supervises the activities of the BADERC research Cores, and awards Pilot & Feasibility (P&F) grants. BADERC policies and goals are set by an Executive Committee composed of BADERC investigators from the various BADERC institutions (Florez, chair; Kahn, Soukas, Alexander Banks, Caroline Apovian, Sudha Biddinger, Valentina Perissi, Camille Powe). Access to institutional resources and facilities is assured by consultation with a senior Inter-institutional Advisory Board, chaired by Katrina Armstrong, Chair of Medicine, MGH and composed of senior faculty from the major participating institutions (Mark Zeidel, BIDMC; Joseph Loscalzo, BWH; Naomi Hamburg BMC; Bridget Wagner, Broad; Harry Orf, MGH ex officio). The Administrative Core assures the proper fiscal management of the research Cores, continuous quality assurance, and delivery of services most needed and appropriate to the science pursued by BADERC investigators. This function is coordinated by a committee of BADERC core directors (Banks, Dennis Brown, Bradford Lowell, Barbara Kahn, Evan Rosen and David Nathan) chaired by Dr. Banks. A collaborative program between BADERC investigators and the Broad Institute is overseen by Dr. Wagner and is managed through the Administrative core. The P&F grant program is overseen by Center Associate Director Dr. Soukas with administrative support from Lynette Desharnais. A new Enrichment Program is also overseen by Dr. Soukas with support from Ms. Desharnais. Issues of diversity, equity and inclusion are monitored by Dr. Powe. Advice concerning opportunities for collaborations, new technologies and advances in science relevant to diabetes is provided by an external Scientific Advisory Board composed of the regional senior diabetes investigators Drs. Steven Shoelson, Michael Czech and Gerald Shulman. Up-to-date information about the science of BADERC investigators and the P&F grant program is available on the updated BADERC website www.baderc.org.
