National Steering Committee
The CERTs National Steering Committee (NSC) provides scientific and policy guidance to the CERTs program and receives both scientific and logistical support from the CERTs Coordinating Center, which works closely with the NSC Chair and Chair-Elect in the executive and logistical planning of program activities, including meetings of the NSC. Members of the NSC include representatives from each CERT Research Center and the Coordinating Center, the Federal Government, and an at-large member from each of three sectors: patients/consumers, health care professional groups, and the therapeutics industry.
