Our Administrative Staff
The administrative staff of the ASCENT Consortium play a critical role in turning vision into action. Serving as the operational backbone of ASCENT, this dedicated team coordinates the many programs, initiatives, and funding opportunities that support palliative care researchers across the lifespan. Working behind the scenes and across institutions, they ensure that ASCENT’s Research Core activities are well‑organized, responsive, and aligned with the Consortium’s mission to advance high‑quality, impactful research. If you need support from one of these staff members, please contact ASCENTadmin@cuanschutz.edu.
