Faculty Advisory Committee

Top U-M scientists and researchers serve on the Faculty Advisory Committee for Precision Health at the University of Michigan (PH). The committee makes recommendations to the co-directors and Executive Committee for the overall scientific direction, strategies, and investments in PH research programs and infrastructure. By bringing together researchers from a range of interest areas, the committee creates opportunities for collaborative research among faculty from different schools, Michigan Medicine, and health care organizations throughout Michigan. The committee also provides review support and helps establish the objectives for the PH competitive grants program.
