Committees

The Executive Committee (EC) is a leadership group comprising current Steering Committee co-chairs, PIs of the Sequencing Center and Coordinating Center, and NHGRI Project Scientists. A key function of this leadership committee is to organize and track agendas, discussion items, action items, and votes for the Steering Committee, which is the governing body of the Network.

The Steering Committee (SC) is the main governing body of the Network. It comprises Principal Investigators (PIs) of the Clinical Groups, Sequencing Center, and the CC, and the NHGRI Project Scientists. The SC has primary responsibility for the general organization of the Network, finalizing protocols, facilitating the conduct and monitoring of the combined protocol, reporting results in a timely manner, and disseminating the findings. All major scientific decisions are determined by majority vote of the SC.
