Advisory Committee
The role of the Advisory Committee (AC) is to work with the T32 leadership to ensure that the program is on track to achieving its set goals. The AC provides general guidance as appropriate, advocates for the program, participates in recruitment and surveys, and facilitates program activities as appropriate. Members provide complementary expertise and wider representation at all levels of the academic and educational spectrum, and serve as role models for the T32 trainees. As with all program activities, membership is evaluated and renewed annually.
