CTRC Advisory Committee
The CTRC Advisory Committee functions primarily to advise the CTRC leadership. The committee is comprised of the CTRC directors and associate directors, as well as other key personnel from internal medicine, pediatrics and the School of Nursing. The Committee is charged with advising CTRC leadership on major policies and directions, performing outreach to areas of the academic community that do not currently use the CTSA, providing budgetary oversight, and reviewing Junior Investigator Pilot Grant Program grants.
