Administrative Core
The primary goal of the Administrative Core is to support and coordinate the Center’s activities.
- Provide oversight and leadership focused on furthering the overall goal of the Center, transforming clinical data for musculoskeletal research.
- Support the individual Cores (Methodology and Resource) in achieving their aims by assisting with managing personnel and budgets.
- Coordinate/integrate the complex portfolio of activities including tracking goals and progress and providing feedback to the Methodology and Resource Cores.
- Evaluate the success of the Center’s activities and consider new directions and goals.
- Organize and convene regular meetings of both the Internal Steering Committee as well as the External Advisory Committee (EAC).
- Communicate the available resources and progress of the Center to the broad musculoskeletal research community and thereby attract new and established investigators within and outside UW to join the community.
- Oversee the Visiting Scientist Program, an annual invited distinguished outside researcher.
