The GeCIP Steering Committee is a subcommittee of the GeCIP Board and is comprised of representatives from each of the different domains. For convenience, it has been split into three separate sub-committees along the lines of Cancer, Rare Diseases, and Cross-Cutting domains. The plan is for these sub committees to meet regularly, and for there to be a single meeting each year where all domain representatives meet as one. It's main activities include:
- evaluating reports and plans from the GeCIP and advise the GeCIP Board on the success, functionality or otherwise of the Domains;
- advising the GeCIP Board on the need to form new Domains;
- advising the domains and the GeCIP Board on tasks or work packages to progress the Genomics England programme in a timely and efficient manner according to the Project Plan and associated milestones;
- overseeing and advising on appropriateness of grant plans, authorship or publication plans and membership of Domain.
Membership
The Steering Committee is comprised of a single representative of each GeCIP domain and is chaired by the Chief Scientist, Prof Mark Caulfield
