Management & advisory committees

You should establish committees to provide sound advice on scientific direction, ethical issues and management of the site.

A Scientific Advisory Committee that is the technical and scientific advisory arm of the site should be comprised of experts in different fields of interest of the site. This committee would help set the site research agenda and review new and on- going projects and project proposals.

A Management Committee comprising of a minimum of four and less than ten people should be responsible for monthly advice on the day to day running of the site.

An Institutional Review Board (IRB) that has representation from the community, site, opinion leaders, and other partners needs to be in place to review ethical aspects on various projects to be carried out at the site.
