How is the EBI governed?
A. The open component of the EBI will be guided by a director, who must be a member of the UC Berkeley faculty. The director will chair an EBI Executive Committee that includes the deputy director from UIUC, the associate director from BP, six or seven EBI science program directors from either UC Berkeley, Berkeley Lab or UIUC, plus one representative appointed by BP. The director and Executive Committee will be responsible for steering and implementing the open research program within the EBI, making and managing an annual call for research proposals, proposing to the Governance Board a slate of research projects to be funded (or renewed) each year, submitting a yearly budget for the open component, and establishing goals and milestones. A two-thirds vote of the committee will be required for approval of annual project plans and budget. Research in the proprietary component of the EBI will be entirely controlled by BP.
