Summary:
The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) supported the Research Board in all aspects of its mission from bylaws and process development, to programmatic review/funding decisions, committee support, media management (press releases and interview requests), meeting logistical support, and honoraria and travel reimbursement payments. AIBS provided continuous support to the Research Board throughout each year, facilitated numerous committee meetings, and participated as part of the Executive Committee. AIBS facilitated all programmatic/funding meetings of the Research Board and ensured (among other things) that strict conflict-of-interest and confidentiality policies were maintained.
AIBS produced the GoMRI annual report in conjunction with the GoMRI Management Team and facilitated the review of GoMRI-funded publications for inclusion on the GoMRI website.
