External Advisory Board


External Advisory Board

In an effort to utilize internal and external cohort expertise, the UAB-UMMC MWCCS site PIs, formed an External Advisory Board (EAB). Members of the EAB will review, advice and guide the UAB-UMMC MWCCS PIs as to the direction of our site’s scientific objectives. This endeavor seeks to ensure our efforts align with the overall scientific goals of the MWCCS. The EAB will also provide advice and guidance regarding ways to facilitate collaboration between other sites/investigators to enhance our scientific research agenda. Meetings will occur annually in the early spring of each calendar year.
