Steering Committee

The Steering Committee is the main governing body for IMPACT and has primary responsibility for the scientific direction of the Consortium, including setting research priorities and identifying opportunities for collaborative efforts. The committee establishes policies and procedures that guide the consortium’s work, including dissemination of research findings and data sharing. The Steering Committee membership consists of the NCI Project Scientist and two representatives (the PI and one senior investigator) from each Research Center and the Coordinating Center, who will all have one vote each on the committee. Additional NIH staff and at least one cancer survivor may participate on the committee as non-voting advisors. The Steering Committee Chairperson is selected from the voting membership.
