Abstract
This session will take the form of a guided panel discussion focused on models of core management. Topics will be based on the findings of a recent survey of core administrators conducted by the Core Administrator's Network – Coordinating Committee. Note that data from this survey will also be presented during the poster session(s). Panelists will be asked to dig deeper into the models of core oversight, management, support and development at their respective organizations. The goal will be to present a detailed picture of the various approaches taken at each institution, highlighting tools, policies, and funding mechanisms that support core facilities.
