The Administrative Component oversees the DRTC's missions of excellence in interdisciplinary research, the training and development of new diabetes investigators, and enrichment of the diabetes research environment at Vanderbilt and nationally. The DRTC leadership consists of: Director (Alvin Powers); two Associate Directors (Alan Cherrington and Stephen Davis); and an Executive Committee (Naji Abumrad, Matthew Breyer, Thomas Elasy, David Piston, Roland Stein, David Wasserman, Christopher Wright). All members of the DRTC leadership have made important contributions to diabetes-related research and bring considerable research and administrative expertise and perspective. This senior leadership also has a long history of productive collaborations and interactions among themselves and with other centers at Vanderbilt. The DRTC leadership is responsible for determining the membership of the DRTC, allocating DRTC support of research cores, overseeing the Pilot and Feasibility Program and DRTC training efforts, and developing long-term DRTC strategy (requests for institutional support, recruiting, relationships with other centers). Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) continues to make a sustained and substantial commitment of space and resources to the DRTC, and the Administrative Component is responsible for integrating this with support provided by the NIH. The Administrative Component also is responsible for the planning and organization of research symposia, lectureship schedules, and the annual Diabetes Center Research Day. In these efforts, the Director and the Administrative Component of the DRTC receive advice from: 1) an Internal Advisory Committee, appointed by the Dean, that provides advice, especially regarding the relationship of the DRTC to other parts of VUMC; 2) an External Advisory Committee; 3) the Pilot and Feasibility Review Committee; 4) Research Advisory Committee that consists of co-leaders from the seven DRTC research areas; and 5) a Research Training Advisory Committee that overseeing DRTC-affiliated training grants and efforts. The Administrative Component also includes considerable informatics expertise to create and utilize a variety of electronic approaches to effectively communicate with DRTC members and the diabetes research community outside Vanderbilt and to provide informatics support to DRTC-affiliated members. In summary, an experienced and effective DRTC management team, bolstered by sustained and substantial support from VUMC, is working to ensure that the Vanderbilt DRTC's research base, core facilities, training activities, and enrichment efforts continue to be outstanding and at the forefront of diabetes research. In addition, the DRTC leadership is interested in working collaboratively with other diabetes centers, the NIDDK, and other interested organizations to enhance and facilitate diabetes research throughout the United States.
