** High Priority **

At the health science cneter we have 2-3 representatives from each of the schools - medical. graduate school of biosciences and the school of public health .  Members rotate off every two years which expands the knowledge base of faculty regarding research.  The Committee is run basically like an NIH study section.

We are in the process of reviewing the structure on our internal research
committee.
The committee reviews internal proposals from all the academic areas of the
University for funding research/creative activity.  It rates the proposals
and then makes recommendations for funding. Funding is distributed and
administered from our office.

Over the years we have seen a number of models for membership on these
types of committees.  For example, some schools use two representatives
from each college and an "at-large appointment."  Others use
representatives from various "areas" (humanities, biological sciences,
pedagogy, etc.).

We would very much appreciate input from those of you who have these
committees and use them for internal research proposal review.
