 		 Per RFA

Each large-scale collaborative project will include an external advisory committee whose purpose is to meet annually with the principal investigator and the steering committee to assess progress and provide feedback on proposed goals for the next year of support. The members will be appointed by the principal investigator in consultation with the steering committee and with award has been made, and will be drawn from research scientists not involved in the project. The members of the advisory committee should not be selected until an award has been made. The NIGMS program director responsible for the award will attend the meeting of the advisory committee as a member of the steering committee, but will not be a member of the advisory committee. The advisory committee will meet at least once a year immediately prior to the submission of the annual progress report.

Advisory Committee Responsibilities:

The advisory committee will be composed of a panel of a minimum of three scientists not otherwise associated with the large-scale collaborative project. The NIGMS program director will attend the meetings of the advisory committee as a member of the steering committee. The advisory committee will meet at least yearly to provide advice to the steering committee of the large-scale collaborative project about meeting its goals and to comment on plans for future directions. The advisory committee will raise issues for consideration by the principal investigator and the steering committee and will comment on the appropriateness of the level of NIGMS support to achieve the goals of the project. The advisory committee will also comment on the impact of the collaborative project on the relevant scientific communities.
