WV-INBRE Steering Committee

 

The WV-INBRE Steering Committee is comprised of four members of the Administrative Core (Principal Investigator, Program Coordinator, Bioinformatics Core Director and Genomics Core Director), the Vice President for Research at Marshall University, a representative from the Vice President for Health Science Research at West Virginia University, one researcher and one administrator from each partner institution with a major research award, and two representatives from additional partner institutions. Each of these members is a voting member. Members of the External Advisory Committee attend all Steering Committee meetings as non-voting members.
