Administrative Core


Faculty Core Director:
Marsha Mailick Seltzer, PhD

Introduction:
The Administrative Core is the nucleus of the Waisman Center IDDRC. It provides the scientific, administrative, and fiscal leadership of the center, and supports core projects’ needs for communications expertise and computing security.

Goals:
The overarching goal of the Administrative Core is to provide the environment in which science relevant to intellectual and developmental disabilities flourishes and in which investigators can devote their maximum energy toward making advances that will lead to the discovery of the causes, consequences, and cures for intellectual and developmental disabilities, with the least administrative burden and the greatest degree of cost-effectiveness of core services.

Objectives:
Specific objectives of the Administrative Core include:

  1. Scientific leadership, with a focus on IDDRC program development and recruitment of new faculty investigators.
     

  2. Development and acquisition of public and private sector funds for the support of new and continuing IDDRC research programs, facilities, and equipment.
     

  3. Scientific communication services to promote and enhance the research programs of the IDDRC, including design and production of printed and electronic scientific informational materials (e.g., posters, graphics for publications) and the recruitment and maintenance of human subject populations (in conjunction with the Research Participation Core).
     

  4. Computing support and network security to complement existing information technology services available to IDDRC projects through the broader UW-Madison computing infrastructure.
     

  5. Administrative services for research support, including pre- and post-award grants management, human resources, accounting, and business services for IDDRC projects.
