Research Support Committees

Many Group members and staff with a deep knowledge of Group policy and clinical investigation participate in administrative and research support committees. Though not primary drivers of a scientific agenda, they nonetheless mold and support that agenda in various ways that contribute to the Group's overall scientific output. Members participate in the Group’s five scientific programs, facilitating cross-committee communication and providing specialized expertise as committees, subcommittees and working groups discuss the state of the science and plan new clinical trials. The research support committees also ensure that individuals across multiple disciplines have opportunities to work together in areas of common interest.

Nationally prominent subject matter experts chair these committees, which meet monthly or more frequently outside the semi-annual group meetings. Listed below, in alphabetical order, are the research support committees and their leadership.
