The Administrative Core will conduct the planning, development, coordination and overall administration of this CORT so as to exploit translational research opportunities for the better understanding and treatment of scleroderma. The Director will be Frank C. Arnett, MD and the Associate Director, Maureen D. Mayes, MD, MPH. A Scientific Advisory Committee including two External Advisors, two Internal Advisors, and a Lay Advisor will meet yearly and as necessary to review progress and to advise the leadership and investigators. An informaticist will help design and advise the CORT leadership on the most efficient and effective bioinformatics systems. A key function of the Administrative Core will be to guarantee that each project pursues its specific aims and informs the other projects of new scientific findings. At the same time, novel ideas and approaches, as well as additional investigators, will be attracted through the availability of Pilot and Feasibility Studies. This Core will be responsible for solicting, reviewing and selecing the most scientifically meritorious Pilot and Feasibility Studies in years 2 and 3. This Core also will continue to promote interactions, the sharing of information and resources, as well as scientific collaboration with the Scleroderma Registry and DNA Repository (which is directed by Dr. Mayes who also is Associate Director of the CORT), as well as with other investigators and research projects ongoing at this and other institutions. A Data Sharing Plan is proposed as well as a modest Enrichment Program.
