CEDEC is administrated with the following organizational structure: Director, Research Associates (internal voting members), Research Affiliates (external, non-voting), Advisors (internal or external, non-voting), and Staff. The Director is selected based on the recommendation of Research Associates in consultation with Department Chairs and Executive Committee.
The Center is governed collectively by the Research Associates. A Project Committee oversees the planning, budgeting, and spending on CEDEC activities. The Project Committee is composed of the Director (chair of the committee) and two Research Associates; the Committee meets on need-basis to allocate research funds, decide current initiatives, judge proposals submitted by the faculty, evaluate collaborations with other research centers and seek external funding.
