This board meets twice yearly to advise NESCent Directors on funding proposals for postdoctoral fellowships, sabbatical fellowships, working groups, and catalysis meetings. They are also charged with advising and overseeing the broad picture of NESCent's plans for synthesis. Along with the Directors, this board will represent NESCent to the broader evolutionary community, as well as ensuring that the interests of their respective sub-disciplines are represented in NESCent's activities.
The membership of this board was determined in consultation with NSF's Division of Integrative and Organismal Biology and NESCent's Cognizant Program Officers:
