Within the AdminCore, the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) will consist of the CDAR Director, Core principle investigators (PIs), Core Coordinators, and three founded research projects (FRP) PIs (e.g., Drs. Dong, Tarter, Sorkin) (Table 1.).
Membership of FRP PIs in the SSC will be subject to annual rotations depending on the funding status of FRPs and the inclusion/termination of new/existing FRPs, with the goal of ensuring that the collaborative activities of the Cores with different FRPs are given appropriate time and attention.
The SSC will meet monthly to discuss and review key aspects of CDAR’s research and productivity.
