Administrative Core

External Advisory Board

To assist the Center Director and the Scientific Steering Committee with an independent and unbiased evaluation of the research progress and to inform us of additional opportunities and new initiatives that are/will be of value for the investigators in this Center, we established an External Advisory Board. The Board meets annually in Chapel Hill to review progress and future directions. The Board will perform a formal evaluation of our research, service, quality management, and the public outreach/translation. For the proposed funding period the Board will consist of:
