The Administrative Core provides the leadership, coordination, and oversight that keep the USC ADRC moving toward its scientific goals. This core guides the Center’s overall direction, manages resources and regulatory requirements, and helps ensure that each ADRC Core works together effectively.

The Administrative Core also supports collaboration across USC and with national Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias research initiatives. Through mentorship, development projects, seminars, and public education, the core helps advance new research, train emerging scientists, and strengthen the ADRC’s impact locally and nationally.
