Final Progress Reports

Aims : The goal of the Administrative Core is to serve as the central organizing structure for the program. Its primary roles are to provide administrative support; serve as a communications facilitator and source of information for various local, state, federal and other agencies, the media, and the general public; coordinate and facilitate outreach and translation activities, the training program, and the planning and oversight functions of the program; and assist in other administrative and communications activities as necessary.

Results: This Core has continued to serve the needs of the program, providing administrative and liaison support, as well as developing a number of new translational, community engagement and training initiatives. Joanne Tortolano is the Financial Manager, and Varsha Batra is the Budget and Accounting Assistant. Although funds were not available from the SRP-NIEHS to support these individuals, Dr. Stanton obtained temporary support from the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth to fund these very important positions.

External Advisory Committee: Dr. Stanton met with Dr. Gandolfi at SOT in San Antonio to discuss the A1 resubmission, and he was in regular contact with the EAC by phone and email to solicit advice and suggestions on the A1 application, as well as on the progress of research by the program faculty.

Significance: The work conducted by this Core is significant because it provides essential administrative and financial management support for the Research Projects and Scientific Cores, as well as the RTC and CEC, which are producing new scientific insights into the adverse health effects of arsenic and mercury. The Administrative Core's work is distinctive because they study the effects of low dose exposure of arsenic and mercury on the health of children and adults in the US.

Plans: The Administrative Core will continue to serve as the central organizing structure for the program. In 2014, the Core will provide administrative support; serve as a communications facilitator and source of information for various local, state, federal and other agencies, the media, and the general public; coordinate and facilitate outreach and translation activities, the training program, and the planning and oversight functions of the program; and assist in other administrative and communications activities as necessary.
