Research Executive Committee

CCNA’s Research Executive Committee (REC) evolved from the Steering Committee that developed the CCNA grant application in 2013-2014. The REC is composed of: The Scientific Director (Chair), Leaders and Associate Leaders of the CCNA Themes, Leaders of the Cross-Cutting Programs, and one representative for the CCNA Platforms. The main functions of the REC include:

  • Setting research priorities
  • Policy strategy and decisions
  • Relationships with CCNA Partners
  • Annual review of Teams’ progress
  • Coordination of activities among CCNA research themes
  • Deciding funding, including use, allocation of shared resources, and approval of budgets
