NUCATS also receives guidance from the Clinical and Translational Research Council, an internal advisory committee comprised of key institutional faculty members from a range of research areas, representing all Schools and clinical affiliates of the NUCATS Institute. There are five centers within NUCATS and a number of programs within each. The leadership of the institute, the centers and programs meet on a regular basis.
