Administration of the NSF-CREST Center for Cellular and Biomolecular Machines at the University of California, Merced--an interdisciplinary federally-funded scientific center--requires various responsibilities to keep research, education, outreach, broadening participation, and administrative efforts on track and successful. Some of these include NSF annual and CREST-specific reporting, oversight of grant funds, integration of both campus and NSF policies, proposal development, strategic planning and implementation of plans, programmatic oversight, supervision of staff, interactions with affiliates, communications, and center representation. Similar issues and responsibilities are part of the administration of the multi-institutional NSF STC Center for Engineering MechanoBiology at Penn. In this session, we will discuss lessons learned and strategies for success. All are welcome to participate. https://ccbm.ucmerced.edu https://cemb.upenn.edu
