EAB Charter
EAB Objectives
The role of the ACCESS External Advisory Board (EAB) is to provide expert advice and feedback to the ACCESS Executive Council (EC) on the range of topics relevant for the success of the ACCESS program and awardees. The ACCESS program comprises a set of independently managed yet tightly cooperative Service Tracks that, while guided by individual Cooperative Agreements, are operated on behalf of the community as a collective set of coordinated services. Mandated by the NSF, the EAB is an essential element of the overall ACCESS program, representing the broad interests of the science and engineering research and education community when providing the EC with advice.
...
Providing feedback and input to ACCESS annual program plans
Reviewing proposed changes to initiatives from individual ACCESS Service Tracks
Providing feedback on draft annual reports and other written documents, data, or survey results
Making recommendations to the EC as it navigates its role to serve the evolving CI ecosystem over the life of the ACCESS program
Giving insights into emerging programs, leadership, and trends that may guide program-wide innovation
