Steering Committee Description

(10-12 members)

The C4HR Steering Committee plays a central role in the governance and operation of the Center, providing oversight on its overall direction and management. The Committee is responsible for making key decisions on administrative policies, procedural guidelines, budget allocation, staffing matters, the launch of new projects, faculty and postdoctoral recruitment, and the pursuit of additional funding opportunities. It also serves as a forum for discussing shifting scientific priorities, and adapting as the Center grows and new insights emerge. The Committee meets quarterly, with additional meetings scheduled as needed.
