PROJECT ADVISORY COMMITTEES

Each funded research project sponsored by the Center is assigned a Project Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC members, chosen from the technical community at large, have expertise on the particular topic area. The PAC works with the Project Manager to review the RFP prior to solicitation, to evaluate proposals, to review project progress reports and to provide overall guidance for projects. The PAC also assists the Project Manager in ensuring the project meets the highest technical standards required for the Center-sponsored activities. If any project does not consistently meet these standards, the PAC will assist the Project manager in rectifying the situation with the researcher, or if necessary, provide justification for terminating the project. Each member, and individuals do not serve on committees where there could be perceived conflict of interest. The PAC members are not employed by the Center, but act in a voluntary capacity, in the philanthropic desire to further the state-of-the-art of desalination technology. PAC members may also be RAC members.
