External Advisory Committee

The External Advisory Council (EAC) will meet with the CORE-NPN biannually. During these meetings the EAC will evaluate the quarterly performance assessment of the Cores and Pilot Projects, steps recommended and implemented, and the results of such actions. Based on these materials, annual progress reports from the Cores and Pilot Project Program Director and the results of the surveys on the mentorship and training programs, written evaluations will be made by the EAC that will include the overall milestones and benchmarks the program should strive to reach before the next EAC meeting, the strengths/weaknesses of the program, and recommendations for improvements. These reports will be provided to National Institute of General Medical Science (NIGMS).
