Because of the comprehensive nature of North Dakota INBRE, activities related to the Administrative Core are critical, especially in maintaining effective communications.

ND INBRE activities involve 11 institutions spread across the state, each with their own unique set of circumstances relative to their mission, resources and vision for their institution. ND INBRE staff work to meet the desires of individual institutions, while maintaining a focus on the overall goals of the project.

An annual administrative survey is conducted to help project staff monitor its many partners. Key components of the communications network that ND INBRE has developed includes a listserve that helps inform participants, a quarterly newsletter and this Web site that highlights ND INBRE activities, services and resources.
