Research Subcommittee

The Research subcommittee functions as a primary component of the RTRN Steering Committee. This committee provides the leadership and direction that sets the research agenda for the network. The Research subcommittee is responsible for identifying research opportunities related to the five research areas: Cardiovascular Disease, HIV/AIDS and Infectious diseases, Cancer and Immunological diseases, Neurological diseases and Mental Health and Obesity and Metabolic diseases; as well as, recognizing opportunities for collaboration and participation at their own institutions, and nationally and internationally. The Research subcommittee is charged with integrating the activities of the current funded RCMI programs at their institutions with those of the RTRN.
