The Role of the MNIMBS External Scientific Advisory Board
This Board is non-governing, but provides insights and support on how to improve the MNIMBS. This Board meets once per 1-1.5 years and its responsibilities include:
- Annual review of programs and overall progress towards goals;
- Advise the MNIMBS Director of program strengths and perceived weaknesses;
- Assist in identifying new directions of research and translational opportunities;
- Evaluate the success of project development programs;
- Assess the overall effectiveness of the MNIMBS administration and organization.
The External Advisory Board is an important enhancement to MNIMBS by bringing an outside perspective to the MNIMBS evaluation process that capitalizes on the extensive research and entrepreneurial backgrounds of the External Advisory Board members.
