The NCEs, being a consortium of researchers, companies, universities, federal and provincial governments and other organizations, must successfully manage many diverse interests.
A Board of Directors is responsible for overall policy, management direction, and financial accountability of the network. It is accountable to the NCE Steering Committee.
The Scientific Director provides scientific leadership, promotes collaboration and often chairs the Research Management Committee, among other functions. The Network Manager directs daily business, ensuring control and accountability, and is responsible for internal and external communications. The host institution, normally a university, hospital or other partner, provides suitable space for the network's administrative centre.
Partnerships are the lifeblood of the NCEs. NCEs collaborate with government departments such as Environment Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans; with educational institutions such as universities and hospitals; and with industries that range from paper manufacturing to microelectronics.
