Executive Committee

The Executive Committee consists of a subset of the principal and co-principal investigators, representing each site (Drs. Sweeney, McNally, Spencer, Vandenborne, and Ostap) and the chief administrator, Ms. Ellen Martin). This committee will make recommendations to the Center Director pertaining to research emphasis, productivity, termination of non-productive research areas, completed projects and allocation of funds. This committee will also evaluate the scientific merit of new research areas within specific projects. While it is ultimately the responsibility of the Center Director to make such decisions, the Executive Committee recommendations will likely be carried out in all instances.
