Administrative Core

• Provides leadership and organizational framework for all ADC activities
• Promotes the integration of Center cores, pilot projects, and educational programs of the ADC
• Serves as the focal point of AD-related activities in Kentucky
• Contributes to and interacts with other ADCs, national collaborative activities

The Administrative Core provides Center leadership, sets the Center research agenda, and maintains an environment that promotes quality research on normal aging and diseases of the brain. The ADC is administratively a part of the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging and is housed in the Sanders-Brown Building. This core promotes the integration of Center cores, pilot projects, and educational programs of the ADC. The core is managed by an Executive Committee composed of core leaders who meet monthly to assist the core director, Dr. Van Eldik, with Center management and decision making. An External Advisory Committee of nationally recognized experts meets yearly to evaluate research progress and a Local Advisory Committee, chaired by the dean of the College of Medicine, provides an annual administrative review. The director of the Administrative Core serves as the primary liaison with the Center on Aging Foundation, whose major focus is to raise funds for AD programs.
