Research Administrative Offices

The University of Kansas Cancer Center administration provides critical support to cancer center members in order to facilitate and enhance scientific collaboration and productivity. The cancer center is a matrix organization with its members located at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC), the University of Kansas, Lawrence (KU), Children's Mercy and the Stowers Institute for Medical Research (Stowers).

The overall objective of the cancer center administrative office is to provide a functional unit that coordinates the entire operation of The University of Kansas Cancer Center, including its shared resources and research programs. This is accomplished by:

• Providing support for faculty research interactions, including intra- and inter-programmatic and inter-institutional activities.
• Enhancing faculty scientific progress through coordination of cancer center shared resources and grant development and submission support.
• Communicating effectively with members about cancer center events and opportunities.
