Core A Abstract:

The purpose of the Administrative Core is to ensure the smooth functioning of the Program Project and to enhance collaboration among the Cores and Projects. This Core has five specific aims: (1) to provide overall scientific leadership; (2) to facilitate and coordinate communication and activities across Cores and Projects; (3) to provide fiscal management (4) to coordinate the activities of the External Advisory Board; and (5) to interface with other centenarian studies for research development. The Core Leader of the Administrative Core and the Principal Investigator of the Program Project is Leonard W. Poon. Joyce S. Tenover, M.D., Ph.D. serves as Biomedical Director and Dr. Poon serves as the Psychosocial Director within the Administrative Core. An Executive Committee (Core and Project Leaders) participates in all administrative and scientific decisions. An External Advisory Board evaluates the extant work and assists in solutions to design, testing, and analysis issues during the project.
