The C2DREAM Administrative (AD) Core will provide governance, administrative, and communications infrastructure; coordinated data collection of innovative measures and shared implementation processes; innovative intervention research supporting chronic disease-related behavior change; innovative programming that connects trainees, researchers, community stakeholders, and policy makers in knowledge sharing and application for change; and continuous evaluation to assure center impact.

Ensuring we create the most impact.

The AD Core will foster C2DREAM’s regional impact in several important ways:

1. Provide the infrastructure, governance, and leadership to ensure that all C2DREAM components operate efficiently across the region.

2. Leverage innovative means to assess opportunities at multiple levels.

3. Augment activities offered by other Cores to creatively support the productivity of early-stage researchers.

4. Apply robust multimodal evaluation methods to inform flexible adaptation of our approaches and ensure we achieve the Center’s goals, and promote exportation of lessons on the most effective elements for use by other P50 centers.
