TMRC Governance
The operation of TMRC is governed by both a Scientific Review Board (SRB) and a Steering Committee.
Role of the Scientific Review Board (SRB)
The SRB comprises senior academic representatives from each of the Universities and senior representatives from the NHS Boards within the Collaboration, as well as from TMRI’s and Wyeth’s Management Teams.
The SRB meets on a monthly basis and has four main roles:
- Providing the mechanism for approval of new Translational Programmes
- Reviewing existing Translational Programme milestones and their Final Reports
- Providing recommendations to the Wyeth and TMRI Management Team
- Responding to requests from the Management Team
Role of the Steering Committee
The TMRC Steering Committee is comprised of a senior representative from each of the Universities and NHS Boards comprising the Collaboration, Scottish Enterprise and TMRI. Three Senior Wyeth representatives complete the Steering Committee.
The TMRC Steering Committee meets on a quarterly basis and has three main roles:
- Providing strategic input to the Collaboration
- Approving the overall TMRC Business Plan and Annual Operating Plan and Budget
- Providing an escalation route for issue resolution.
