The major function of the Steering Committee (StC) is to establish the policies and procedures which govern the StC itself and SC INBRE. 

• The StC formulated the bylaws that govern the composition and operations of the External Advisory Committee (EAC). 

• The StC advises the PI/Program Director on decisions concerning SC INBRE’s direction and programs. 

• The StC reviews the progress of DRP supported faculty at its scheduled meetings. 

• The StC establishes the thematic scientific areas for SC INBRE which represent the research expertise at the various network institutions.

SC INBRE’s StC includes the PI (who chairs the committee), the Program Coordinator, and the institutional PI from each of the participating primarily undergraduate institution (PUI) network institutions, as well as institutional PIs representing the three comprehensive research universities (CRU). The SC INBRE program manager and communications manager attend all StC meetings.

The SC INBRE StC meets quarterly. There is at least one meeting of the StC annually, typically held in conjunction with the annual EAC program review and Scientific Symposium.
