行政核心是粘合剂，结合在一起的卓越中心补助金（COE）在前列腺癌的差距这个应用程序。核心将为该计划的研究提供行政支持和监督。其主要目标是领导和管理计划活动、沟通、培训、质量保证和战略规划。 行政核心将协调所有特遣队所属装备活动并制定一般政策。将 负责管理COE的日常运作，并协助核心主任和项目首席调查员管理其单位。它将通过一个由指导委员会、执行委员会、社区咨询委员会和外部咨询委员会组成的高级管理结构来实现这一目标。行政核心将直接负责所有项目和核心的预算编制和业务办公室支持，与NCI工作人员沟通并编写报告，为项目和核心提供文书支持，协调行政支持，以及科学活动的整体协调。此外，行政核心将支持调查人员之间的持续联系，并将在项目进行时提供书面进度报告。行政核心的共同主任将负责监督每个服务核心的业绩，并确保服务的质量和成本效益。 最后，行政核心还将负责确定COE的研究方向。这一方向的一个主要方面将是选择和评估新的跨学科，转化科学和下一代健康差异研究人员的培训。随着目前这组项目的开展，将需要决定是否支持补充资金的赠款申请。如果是这样，那么就需要在这些其他可能性中确定优先次序。这将是行政核心在其指导委员会和咨询委员会指导下的一项责任。 类似地，随着目前的一组项目接近完成，需要决定是否申请延长该方案，如果是，则需要决定将哪些项目和调查人员包括在内。 这也是行政核心的责任。

The Administrative Core is the glue that binds together this application for a Center of Excellence Grant (COE) in prostate cancer disparities. The Core will provide Administrative support and oversight for the Program's research. Its major objectives are leadership and management of Program activities, communication, training, quality assurance, and strategic planning. The Administrative Core will coordinate all COE activities and set general policies. It will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the COE and for providing assistance to Core Directors and Project Principal Investigators in administering their units. It will do so through a senior management structure made up of a Steering Committee, Executive Committee, Community Advisory Board, and External Advisory Board. The Administrative Core will be directly responsible for budgeting and business office support for all Projects and Cores, interface with and preparation of reports to NCI staff, provision of clerical support for Projects and Cores, coordination of Administrative support, and overall coordination of scientific activities. In addition, the Administrative Core will support ongoing contact among the investigators, and will provide written progress reports as the Projects proceed. The co-Directors of the Administrative Core will be responsible for overseeing the performance of each of the service Cores and assuring quality and cost-effectiveness of the services. Finally, the Administrative Core will also be responsible for determining the research direction of the COE. A major aspect of this direction will be the selection and evaluation of new transdisciplinary, translational science and training of the next generation of health disparities researchers. As the current group of Projects proceeds, there will be a need to decide whether to support grant applications for supplemental funds. If so, then priorities will need to be set among these other possibilities. This will be a responsibility of the Administrative Core, with guidance from its Steering and Advisory Committees. Analogously, as the current group of Projects approaches completion, there will need to be a decision about whether to apply for a renewal of this Program and, if so, the Projects and investigators to be included. Again, this will be a responsibility of the Administrative Core.
