EIF Governance
EIF's Board of Directors governs the foundation's decisions, from approving major policies to administering organizational operations. EIF also relies on its Executive Director to manage day-to-day operations. The Board includes university Chancellors, Vice Presidents of Research, and internationally renowned scientists. Board Members serve two or three year terms and meet six times throughout the year.
The Board operates within subcommittees which are led by an "agency-designated" representative. These representatives possess agency in depth agency expertise. Many representatives have been recipients of competitive funding from their respective agencies, served on agency review panels, and served in leadership positions within the their agencies' Project Directors Councils.
