Board of Scientific Counselors

The Board of Scientific Counselors previews and evaluates the intramural research programs of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and provides periodic technical and scientific peer review of the work of individual investigators in the Division of Intramural Research (DIR).

Board members meet, at the call of the chair, throughout the year, for the purpose of site visits to individual research branches and at least once a year for the full board meeting at which they present their evaluations.
