Institutional Liaisons

The Executive Committee, also known as Institutional Liaisons, establishes and implements policies for the NM-INBRE program, aligning with NIG guidelines, and interacts with the External Advisory Committee. It oversees program activities, reviews DRPP project applications, and monitors the progress of faculty investigators. Institutional leads, appointed by each network partner institution in consultation with PI Lusetti, facilitate communication and represent organizational interests within the EC, ensuring effective representation of participating institutions and communities.
