MNIMBS External Advisory Board Charge
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.
