CCNA’s programs are priority areas that have their own dedicated leadership and funding. The cross-cutting programs work collaboratively with one another and provide guidance, resources, and training on their respective focus areas to all CCNA research teams. Each program has champions or liaisons across CCNA teams.
This ensures that these important areas are considered and incorporated across all CCNA research and events.
