Governance
The Centre includes four Australian universities (the “Collaborating Parties), each of which forms a Research Node. Across the nodes there are currently 17 Chief Investigators, CIs, (10 at ANU, 2 at UWA, 2 at UQ, and 3 at USyd). The ANU node spans three separate Schools, the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR, 1 CI), the Research School of Biology (RSB, 8 CIs), and the Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Science (Psych, 1 CI). Two additional centre fellows are also employed at the ANU node.
The structure of the of the Centre is given below:
The governing body of the Centre is the Executive Committee. This body meets regularly, to discuss overall centre-related issues, to oversee operations of the Centre, to review the Centre’s performance, and to make decisions on strategic and financial matters such as allocation of funds. The Research Director of the Centre chairs the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee receives advice and assistance from the Advisory Board on strategic issues. The Board meets at least annually to assess the progress of the Centre against its Key Performance Indicators and to assist in developing future strategies.
