Overall direction and project management of the SSGCID project is overseen by a Scientific Leadership Team comprised of the PIs from each of the participating sites. Day-to-day direction of the various teams is coordinated by the SSGCID Project Manager (located at Seattle Children's Research Institute) and Site/Project Managers at the other sites.

This team is tasked with ensuring efficient and effective transfer of data and information between all SSGCID members and are primarily involved in design and maintenance of the SSGCID SharePoint site, SSGCID website and the SSGCID Central Target Tracking Database (CTTDB). Team members are also involved with maintaining site-specific databases.

The cloning & expression teams at each site will design PCR primers to amplify or synthesize target genes, clone them into the appropriate vectors, and test them for soluble expression in bacterial, wheat-germ, cell-free, baculovirus and mammalian expression systems.
