Additional information regarding the Scientific Leaders of the partnership is detailed in Section N5, """"""""Scientific and Administrative Leadership"""""""" Dr. Alan McClelland, Co-Investigator at CRCH will work closely with his counterpart Dr. John Peterson at the University of Guam and with the Principal Investigators to coordinate the administrative support of the various components of the Developmental Core including pilot and full research projects, programs, resources, and recruitment, as well as the Planning and Evaluation process. To assist them in this effort we are requesting support for a Program Manager for the Administrative Core at both institutions who will be responsible for the daily attention to the needs of the partnership and will facilitate regular and frequent communication within and between institutions.
