Per RFA

The steering committee is responsible for governance of the large-scale collaborative project, and its membership, chosen from participating investigators and project staff, should be representative of the scope and membership of the proposed collaborative project. The level of effort and commitment to the collaborative project of the members of the steering committee will also factor into the assessment of scientific merit as well as the Institute's funding selections. It is expected that the principal investigator, the steering committee, and the participating investigators will work together to develop reasonable and sound goals and operating procedures for the collaborative project. An NIGMS program director will serve as a member of the steering committee and attend its meetings.

Steering Committee Responsibilities:

A steering committee will serve as the governing board of each large-scale collaborative project and will participate in setting direction, policies and operating procedures. Membership will include the principal investigator, as well as other scientists and administrators drawn from the staff and participating investigators of the project, sufficient in breadth and balance to be representative of the overall project. The NIGMS original members will be selected by the principal investigator from among the participating investigators and staff to be representative of the scope of the project. Additional or replacement members will be selected by the steering committee.

The steering committee will work with the principal investigator to establish the scientific and technical direction of the project, develop common guidelines and procedures, establish rules for access to resources of the project and for dealing with intellectual property issues, and participate in the process of developing a cohesive group. The steering committee will develop a policy regarding disclosure of ties between scientists and profit- making organizations to aid the project in avoiding conflict of interest situations. The steering committee will monitor bridging projects, core resources, and pilot projects for progress and efficiency, and recommend modification of support and addition/deletion of these activities as needed to facilitate progress on the goals of the large-scale collaborative project.
