What role do COPR members have in terms of working with other advisory groups at NIH?
COPR members have been connected with other advisory groups at NIH under various capacities. For example, a COPR liaison works closely with the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD), and an ACD liaison works with the COPR. The two liaisons share information and perspectives throughout the year and make presentations on current activities to their sister committees. COPR members have also participated in meetings of the National Cancer Institute Director’s Consumer Liaison Group and have presented to other advisory councils of the NIH Institutes and Centers. Most recently, a COPR alumna was invited to join the National Advisory Research Resources Council of the National Center for Research Resources.
