Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board, also known as the External Advisory Board, meets to review and identify potential gaps in the CAPS research portfolio, provide objective advice about CAPS scientific and strategic directions, and make recommendations that inform strategic planning. Recommendations and concerns raised by the Community Advisory Board are also channeled to the external Scientific Advisory Board convened by the Administration Core.
