Abstract

The HORNET Center for Autonomic Nerve Recording and Stimulation Systems (CARSS) includes an Administrative Core to facilitate the Center goal of realizing technology modules that are then integrated into an open-source, open-architecture system. The Admin Core will oversee the operations of the Center, coordinating the progress and interconnections between the 5 NEST Projects so that the Technology Integration and Dissemination (TID) Core is able to finalize the system and share it broadly with end users. This is primarily accomplished by the efforts of the investigators and dedicated Center staff to provide strategic leadership, project management support, and as a liaison to external partners, including NIH program managers. By consolidating administrative responsibilities and connecting them directly through shared staff with the TID Core, the individual NEST Projects can focus on their technical goals and timelines. The staff team will also facilitate intra- and inter-Center meetings as well as reporting to the External Advisory Committee and NIH. The structure allows all investigators to participate in the decision-making process and strategy while staff are able to manage day-to-day operational needs.
