The Administrative Core includes a Data Analysis, Integration, and Resource Sharing (DAIRS) component to conduct advanced data analysis procedures that are not contained within individual projects, provide mechanisms for data sharing and integration, and manage a web portal or other public-facing resources to provide VCU-ARC data to the public and the alcohol research community.
