Steering Committee

Introduction

The 4DN Steering Committee (4DN-SC) is an open group involving all the PI/PD's of the projects funded as part of the 4DN Program. The Steering Committee will meet monthly to discuss items of interest to the Consortium, including policies, future meetings and the opportunity fund initiatives. These will be open meetings and details will be circulated in advance by the Organizational Hub.

For formal decision making, 9 representatives from the PI/PD's and 1 member of staff from the NIH will be selected to represent all of the components of the program. The 4DN-OH PD/PI and 4DN-DCIC PD/PI will be permanent members of the 4DN-SC. All other members of the 4DN-SC will be selected by their peers to serve 2-year term on the 4DN-SC. Renewal or continuation of 4DN-SC membership will be decided during the in-person meeting of the 4DN-SC at the 2nd and 4th annual 4DN Network Investigator Meeting. Other NIH program staff, 4DN-OH staff, 4DN-DCIC staff or external experts may attend the 4DN-SC meetings on a regular or ad-hoc basis, but will be ex officio (non-voting) members. Below is the initial list of representatives chosen by NIH staff to serve on the SC during the first year of the program.

Meetings

1. 4DN Steering committee meetings will take place on the third Tuesday of each month at 8:00-9:30 am PDT, 11:00-12:30 pm EST. An agenda for each call will be sent out prior to the meeting.

2. All voting members should plan to be present at every SC meeting; if they are not able to attend, they should let NIH staff know (Lisa Chadwick) and identify someone from their group who will take their place.
​
3. NIH requests that groups ensure that a minimum of one senior investigator per grant is on each SC call. However, all 4DN network PIs/co-PIs/senior investigators are invited to participate in the 4DN SC meeting, and may do so as desired.
