What are the responsibilities?

What is the time commitment?
The bulk of the workload will take place from November to May, beginning with the vetting of research summit proposals in November. Review of the annual conference call for abstracts will follow in January and again in May. Committee members will be asked to review and grade submissions for the research summit and annual conference papers and posters. The committee will also be asked to review any research surveys, which is a minimal time commitment. We estimate anywhere from 25-30 hours of work total.
How long is the term?
Committee members serve one, two-year term with the option to renew for another two-year term. Members cannot serve on multiple committees at the same time.
