Leadership: External Advisory Committee
Our External Advisory Committee (EAC) provides scientific and administrative input on our Center's annual progress as well as peer-reviewed measurements of developmental and program goals. These reviews include presentations from Core Directors/Co-Directors, administrative and organizational updates as well as research presentations from CFAR-supported investigators. Typically, our EAC is scheduled to coincide with our annual Research Symposium.
