External Advisory Committee
The External Advisory Committee, consisting of five members, oversees the selection, monitoring, and assessment of DRPP investigators, reviewing network operations semi-annually and submitting annual reports with improvement recommendations to the Steering Committee. Composed of established scientists with NIH research program experience, the EAC provides an external perspective on the DRPP’s health-focused areas, approving project selections before NIGMS programmatic approval when necessary.
