The Administrative Core consults with an external Advisory Committee, consisting of local businessmen from the community, including Mrs. Hiss, the widow of Dr. Hiss who established a fund for diabetes research at UToledo. The advisory committee provides comments and open discussions about financing issues and philanthropic directions.

The Steering Committee, comprised of members of the scientific team including students and trainees, functions as a liaison between the Administrative Core and the Scientific Team. The steering committee, headed by Dr. Jennifer Hill and Dr. Nikolai Modyanov, convenes regular meetings to implement enrichment programs and quality controls, address concerns and propose new directions to strengthen the research base.

The Program Coordinator Nancy Salim is responsible for scheduling and organizing administrative, research and training activities related to CeDER, and monitoring the center's budget including, operating budget, research accounts, start-up funds, equipment funds, and discretionary accounts.
