Governance
The fund is governed so that every applicant is treated the same way and every decision can be explained. Each program has a budget and the authority to direct spend within it; requests outside that authority, or that span programs, go to the Executive Advisory Council.
| Role | Who | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Top-level governance | Executive Advisory Council | Includes the Dean of the School of Medicine and Tom Gronow, EdD, MHA, President and CEO of UCHA, along with the program subcommittee for each priority theme. |
| Priority themes | Five program subcommittees | One subcommittee for each priority theme. Department Chairs, Division Heads, and Center Directors help make these important decisions. |
| Program administration | Fund program team | Runs intake, reviews logistics, and supports applicants throughout the process. |
| Joint leadership | School of Medicine and UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital | Leaders from both organizations work together to implement the fund. |
