Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases Infrastructure/Capacity Building

由于TRND是在2009年5月20日才宣布的，因此在基础设施发展方面投入了巨大的努力，包括购买实验室空间、设备和人员。具体成就包括： 1.聘请高级顾问协助启动，包括最初领导设计设施和确定设备和人员的工作。 2.确定TRND董事：召集搜索委员会，在全国范围内发布广告，进行面试，成功聘用第一位TRND董事。 3.与工业界和学术界的专家以及NIH ORF和合同建筑师合作，设计和保护空间和设备。 4.制定了人才战略，包括计划从工业界和学术界招聘经验丰富的专家，以建设一支优秀的科学和协作的TRND团队。

Since TRND was announced only on May 20, 2009, enormous effort was put into infrastructure development, including acquisition of laboratory space, equipment, and personnel. Specific accomplishments include: 1. Hired Senior Consultant to assist in the startup, including initially leading the effort to design the facility and identify the equipment and personnel. 2. Identifying a TRND Director: assembled Search Committee, advertised nationally, performed interviews, successfully hired first TRND Director. 3. Worked with experts from industry and academia and with NIH ORF and contract architects to design and secure space and equipment. 4. Built personnel strategy, including plans for recruiting experienced experts from industry and academia to build an outstanding scientific and collaborative TRND team.
