Clinical and administrative support for brain tumor research
Core A: Administrative and Clinical Services Core (ACS)
This core helps run and organize clinical brain tumor research and care so adults can take part in studies at UCSF.

What this research studies
This Administrative and Clinical Services Core provides the coordination and staffing that keep multiple brain tumor projects running at UCSF. The team handles fiscal and grants management, meeting organization, and reporting to oversight boards. The clinical side supplies clinics, personnel, follow-up, and help collecting samples and clinical data for patient studies. Together they ensure patients can enroll, be monitored, and have their care coordinated across the linked projects.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults with brain tumors treated at or willing to attend UCSF or affiliated clinics would be the most likely candidates to benefit or enroll in the linked studies.
Not a fit: Children, people with non-brain cancers, or those unable to travel to UCSF are unlikely to benefit directly from this core's services.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this core could make it easier for adults with brain tumors to join research studies and receive coordinated clinical care and follow-up.
How similar studies have performed: Administrative and clinical cores are a common and effective model at major cancer centers for supporting patient trials, although this core itself is infrastructure rather than a new therapy.
