Industrial Advisory Board
Each member organization provides a voting representative who
serves on the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB). The IAB advises the
director on selection of research projects, funding levels for the
projects, and policies and procedures. IAB meetings are held twice a
year. The winter meeting features a roundtable discussion
with
instrument manufacturers and academic experts; at the summer meeting, a
two-day workshop
provides the
opportunity for IAB members to master new technologies.
|
Selection of Research Projects
The director and IAB prepare a list of research projects to submit to
center scientists and external researchers as requests for proposals.
Responses to the projects are discussed and ranked by the IAB. The
director makes the final selection of projects to be funded. The
submitting scientist is named the project supervisor and assumes the
overall responsibility for managing the project. |
