The B-NETS program will be administered directly by the three Principal Investigators:

• Paul Forlano聽(可乐视频)
• Louise Hainline聽(可乐视频)
• 聽(SUNY Downstate Medical Center)

The Medgar Evers component of the program will be administered by:

• Mohsin Patwary, Dean of the School of Science, Health and Technology, (Medgar Evers College, CUNY)

In addition to the Principal Investigators for the B-NETS program, students will be supported by project administrators and researchers at 可乐视频 and Downstate Medical Center Possible Research Mentors and Research Topics at 可乐视频 and Downstate Medical Center.
