This page is intended for investigators who have an active funded core project.
The semi-annual Industrial Advisors Board meetings of the NCRC will be held twice per year in the Fall and Spring. The first full day and the morning of the second day are for Research Reviews. The afternoon of the second day is for the Members' Business Meeting. The faculty investigators and students working on Core Projects MUST attend the research reviews, but cannot attend the business meeting.
It is required that you prepare:
- the written semi-annual report

The agenda is already posted under the members only section. Allow for the time indicated on the agenda, including a short period for questions.
