Admin Core

The Administrative Core (AC) is responsible for establishing, managing, supervising and coordinating all of the Region VIII RMRCE activities. The AC promotes scientific interactions and ensures program cohesiveness by providing the proper infrastructure and resources for communication and distribution of information.

Led by the Program Director, the steering committee provides oversight and guidance for the operation and management of the RMRCE. A representative from each RMRCE institution serves on the Steering committee.

The growth and progress of the RMRCE program is evaluated and assessed on a yearly basis by an External Review Committee. Individuals on this committee review scientific and product development activities of the RMRCE and provide valuable feedback.
