Directorate for Biological Sciences Advisory Committee (BIO AC)
ABOUT THE BIO ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Biological Sciences Advisory Committee (BIO AC) advises the Directorate (BIO) on such issues as:
- How BIO's mission, programs, and goals can best serve the scientific community;
- Institutional administration and policy;
- How BIO can promote quality graduate and undergraduate education in the biological sciences;
- Priority investment areas in biological research; and
- Government Performance and Results Act, including Committees of Visitors.
The BIO AC meets twice a year. Members represent a cross section of biology with representatives from many different subdisciplines within the field; a cross section of institutions including industry; broad geographic representation; and balanced representation of women and under-represented minorities.
Inquiries/recommendations regarding the BIO Advisory Committee may be directed to Montona Futrell-Griggs.
