NHERI Council

The NHERI Council is composed of all Principal Investigators (PIs) of each NHERI Awardee or a designated substitute member as chosen by each PI not present at Council meetings.  The roles of the council include providing a collective and coordinated leadership for steering the NHERI program through the development of policies and annual work plans.

Council Membership

The NHERI Council membership is composed of all NHERI Awardee Principal Investigators (PIs) for the duration of the NHERI program.  In the event a PI cannot attend a Council meeting, they may designate a substitute representative to appear on their behalf.  Council Officers are selected each project year from the list of Council members.  Quorum and voting are defined as requiring a majority of members.
