Dr. Kirken's effort will be split roughly equally between 1) coordinating the research performed on the three Projects and in the cores, including chairing the quarterly Internal Advisory Committee meetings; 2) advising and planning with respect to program development, especially with regard to the new tenure-track faculty recruitments; 3) interacting with the recently the recruited faculty who were supported by RCMI development funds; and 4) communicating and interfacing with University officials, and collaborators outside of the institution that will spur translational research within our program. Dr. Kristina Garza will assist Dr. Kirken and take-over these administrative duties when he is unavailable. She will also direct and oversee the proposed "Pilot Project" program. The BBRC Coordinator, Mayanin Acuna, will be responsible for managing the budgetary needs of the program and work cooperatively with the Offices of Research and Sponsored Projects, Budgets and Accounting and report to the Program Director.
