Administrative CoreThe Administrative (Admin) Core provides scientific direction and leadership for CIRA, serves as its central administrative and coordinating body, and ensures appropriate fiscal management of the Center. The Core is also responsible for recruitment of underrepresented minority researchers, and strategic planning and evaluation. In addition, the Admin Core conducts a number of activities to ensure that information about CIRA and its science is disseminated widely, and to highlight ongoing activities and opportunities in HIV prevention, at the University, statewide, nationally and internationally. A weekly email bulletin details Center, University, and local events likely to be of interest to the CIRA community, and also provides information on conferences, and funding and job opportunities. More detailed articles on CIRA's activities and research can be found in the Center's newsletter, produced by the Core. In addition, the Core organizes several public events, including Centerwide forums and AIDS Science Day, an annual event co-sponsored with the Yale AIDS Program that highlights HIV/AIDS research being conducted at Yale and The Institute for Community Research.
