Important Work Starts Here

The Administrative Core is the hub of the NNE-CTR. We connect all of our cores, institutions, and community partners across Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine into one cohesive network. The result is an unparalleled wealth of expertise in clinical and translational research that we use to address local health challenges.

As a multiple Principal Investigator program led by Drs. Cliff Rosen and Gary Stein, our network is leveraging decades of clinical and translational experience to guide network organization and engagement across northern New England.

What We Do

We carry out three essential functions:

Oversee Network Operations

Advise and direct core leads in producing the best possible services for our members
Oversee and coordinate operations of all cores
Meet with Advisory Groups to inform network operations
Translate Tracking & Evaluation Core data into metrics and best practices for program improvement

Increase Engagement & Services

Connect people with shared research interests and health priorities, fostering national and international partnerships
Find and promote funding opportunities for our members
Organize seminars, regional meetings, retreats, newsletters/newsflashes, and our website to engage and inform our network
Serve as the bridge between our members and regional, national, and international resources and programs

Promote Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Create innovative communication strategies to help bridge the gap between research and rurality
Ensure CTR research and community engagement activities represent the diversity of our region
Leverage Tracking & Evaluation Core data to track DEI activity within each core and ensure we're meeting our objectives of promoting diversity and enhancing health equity
