The Commitee's guidance and oversight function focuses on each center's: timely start-up and implementation, its progress against the objectives for which it was formed, its tangible outputs, and its reporting of results to stakeholders. Based on its assessments, the Committee will provide recommendations for future center directions and activities.

The Committee's oversight function includes periodic Program Reviews for each center. The reviews will be conducted by the Committee with the assistance of two external Subject Matter Experts in the domain areas covered by the center. These Subject Matter Experts are nominated by the respective center director and must be approved by the Provost.
