Role of Representatives on the Research Oversight Committee

Representatives will participate in discussions, promote the interests of their community within the Brigham Research Institute, and report back to their respective communities on items of interest. The representatives will gain valuable experience and exposure to the oversight and management of a large research enterprise. This is a great opportunity to get involved with the research leadership and strategic direction of the research agenda at the Brigham.

Representatives are expected to attend monthly meetings, held virtually on Zoom, typically on the third Thursday of each month.

Representatives should plan to serve one three-year term on the Research Oversight Committee, with the possibility of renewal.

If you have any other questions about the nomination process, elections or representative responsibilities, or general questions about the Research Oversight Committee, please contact the Brigham Research Institute.
