As per McGill’s policy and procedures for Research Units, each Research Unit must have a governance body, named and adapted to its size and scope. This governance structure is to provide strategic direction, guidance on management, and to ensure accountability of the unit’s activities.
The designation of members of the governance body must be approved by the Research Office of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
The governance body must meet annually to review activities and membership, assess progress and performance, approve the annual report, the annual operating budget, and provide guidance for any issues that may arise. The Vice-Dean or Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty will represent the Dean and will chair the meeting.
Research Units are asked to issue an invitation to riac.med [at] mcgill.ca when scheduling any Board Meetings.
