The detailed implementation plan is included as part of the Overview of Initiative 8. In the first years of the Center, we are growing our networks. However, we do need to plan for adapting the networks as the science changes. Below we give a flow chart of the process for restructuring a network. Following that, we describe Strand 8.1 of this initiative, which aims at developing a network of trainees. 
 
The basic restructuring plan is a response to the raising of productivity issues concerning a particular network. By a decision of the Executive Committee, the network may be given a six-month probationary period to overcome the issues. During this period, the Outreach Director initiates a workshop on New Directions in Research. Based on the workshop results, the Executive Committee issues a call for proposals for new networks in response to the new research directions. The network that is on probation may submit in competition with new possible networks. The Executive Committee then evaluates the proposals and either votes to restore the probationary network, or create a new one, entering into a termination phase of the probationary network. Another workshop is held either for the new network, or to aid in the rejuvenation of the probationary network.
