Please take 5 minutes to complete the CANCC post-ABRF2012 meeting survey: Link to Survey

The CAN-CC has an ongoing project to examine models of core administration and management with an eye toward creating a set of references, procedures and best practices that can help anyone engaged in core facility management and oversight. We have identified three Specific Aims to guide this project:

• Specific Aim 1: Develop a database of core administrators
• Specific Aim 2: Identify and describe core management model systems
• Specific Aim 3: Identify, collect and describe tools for core administration

In 2011, we designed a survey to gather information for Aim 1. This survey was initiated in Summer 2011 and we received responses from 172 individuals representing 79 institutions. In addition to collecting valuable information from interested core administrators, we selected one lucky respondent at random to win free registration to ABRF2012 in Orlando. The winner was Robin Miskimins from Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota. Congratulations to Robin and thanks to all who participated in our survey!

You can see a summary of the results from the survey in the poster we presented at ABRF 2012.

CAN-CC hosted a roundtable panel discussion at ABRF2012 in Orlando: Models for Core Management and Administration: Perspectives from Members of the Core Administrators Network. Panelists included Veronica Rice of The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center; Reg Miller of Mount Sinai School of Medicine; and Karen Staehling of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. We had a great turnout for the session: over 120 people. Thanks to our panelists and to you for making this such a successful roundtable session!

About the CAN-CC:

Research Core Facilities, by the nature of their service role, must interface with multiple constituencies within a research enterprise. Today many institutions have established administrative positions designed to assist core facilities with management of economic, regulatory and performance issues. In order to facilitate greater interaction between and among core scientists and administrators, ABRF has created the Core Administrators Network Coordinating Committee with a mission to contribute to the common interests of core administrators and interactions with core scientists in a collegial and global manner.

The specific goals of the Core Administrators Network Coordinating Committee (CAN-CC) are:
  • Identify and reach out to our target community
  • Provide opportunities for networking
  • Assess goals for program focus and development.


    • Thank you for participating in the Core Administrators Network!
