Executive advisory committee

The executive advisory committee provides independent external oversight of BioF:GREAT. Its members are glycoscientists, analytical chemists, computational biologists and education specialists drawn from universities, national laboratories and research institutes outside the University of Georgia.

The committee meets bi-annually and completes annual performance reviews scoring the objective metrics defined in the strategic implementation plan. Its members are drawn from outside the BioF:GREAT team and its institutions. User proposals are assessed separately, by the internal review committee and the external review board.
