The primary role of the External Advisory Committee (EAC) is to oversee the scientific progress of the overall OK-INBRE program, encourage and assist faculty development and enhancement, identify resources and possible research collaborators as needed, and to evaluate progress of the individual INBRE Research Project Investigator projects.  The EAC works together with the Steering Committee and INBRE PI.
