Administration

The partnership is led by Bruce Macher, PhD, Mack Roach, MD, Leticia Marquez-Magana, PhD, and Tung Nguyen, MD, who are responsible for coordinating overall planning activities and ensuring that an open and steady line of communication exists among all participants.

The co-principal investigators meet regularly with the leaders of the pilot projects/programs to ensure that objectives are met, to identify opportunities to generate proposals for long-term support, and to assist in the development of successful grant applications. In conjunction with an Internal Advisory Board, they also evaluate the potential of new pilot projects/programs.

Other administrative coordination is accomplished by Gem Le, MHS, and Katherine Kim, MBA, MPH, Program Directors at UCSF and SFSU, respectively; and by Hy Lam and Ashley McDonald, Administrative Assistants at UCSF and SFSU, respectively.
