The Leadership/Administrative Core (LAC) provides support for planning, organizational, evaluation, and administrative activities related to the other OAIC Cores and to the OAIC as a whole. It monitor, stimulates, sustains, evaluates and reports progress towards the Center’s overall goals. To do so, the LAC has established eight specific aims:
- to provide day-to-day management of the UCLA OAIC
- to provide fiscal management for the UCLA OAIC
- to provide administrative oversight for internal quality control of ongoing research
- to review utilization of UCLA OAIC resources by other OAIC cores, including reallocation of resources within and among cores
- to create linkages between UCLA OAIC Cores/investigators and other UCLA researchers whose work relates to the theme and mission of the Center, particularly those that focus on translational research
- to solicit applications for new career development awardees (CDAs), pilots, and Developmental Projects (DPs) and coordinate the review process for these
- to ensure communication, coordination and collaboration among the UCLA OAIC cores, (intra-OAIC) and between the UCLA OAIC and other OAICs (inter-OAIC) and
- to maintain contact with NIA staff, the national OAIC Coordinating Center and the External Advisory Committee, and External Selection Panel.
