What is the RTRN Administrative Core?
Within the Network lies the Administrative Core, an administrative structure that ensures that the Network’s objectives are achieved in a timely manner, scientific productivity is maximized, and Network resources are optimally utilized. The Administrative Core’s key role is coordination, operation and evaluation of RTRN, including oversight and implementation of key activities such as procurement, finances, personnel, fiscal planning, budgeting, strategic planning, science direction and program planning, and data coordination. The Administrative Core, in conjunction with the DTCC, also provides the support and start-up of all translational research activities. The Administrative Core functions in a cooperative arrangement with the NIH program office, to oversee the operations and evaluation of the Network.
