C. Internal and External Advisory Committee A. Administrative Core
Membership in the Center is based upon a number of criteria that include a requirement that the prospective member have a research focus in environmental health encompassing the goals and theme of the center. All center members also hold active or adjunct faculty positions at this university and have active participation in peer reviewed research grants and/or contracts. Temporary lapses in funding of a member does not result in any automatic disqualification of participation in the center, indeed, we encourage members to utilize center resources to broaden research opportunities that leads to sustained, collaborative cores. All center members are expected to attend core and center-wide seminar and group meetings, including the yearly training grant program symposium. Finally, any person awarded a pilot project grant automatically becomes a member of the center during their funding period. Ultimately, the authority to appoint and discontinue Center appointments rests with the Center Director. B. Core Director, Deputy Director, and Business Manager Dr. John D. Groopman

C. Internal and External Advisory Committee
The Internal Advisory Board is composed of the Director, Deputy Director, Business Manager, the Research and Facility Core Directors and the Director of the Community Outreach and Education Core. The functions of this Board include advising the Director and Deputy Director to coordinate interdisciplinary and translational research; reviewing the policy and procedures of the Center and advising the Director on these issues; annually reviewing the status of proposed and current Center members as presented by the internal advisory board members and recommending changes in member status; reviewing the functioning of the Core Facilities and making recommendations to the Director and Deputy Director; making funding recommendations of Pilot Projects following presentation of the reviews by the Deputy Director and setting the agenda for issues to be presented to the External Advisory Board. To ensure that the responsibilities of the Internal Advisory Board are carried out, the External Advisory Board meets on a regular basis. It is a goal of these meetings to discuss the scientific issues that cut across cores so that opportunities for collaborations can be increased and that collectively our Center becomes focused on our long-term goals.
