Institutes that have significant direct allocations of SOM resources should report directly to the Dean. The director of an institute is appointed for a specific term by the Dean on the advice of the institute faculty and relevant academic officers. No faculty may hold a permanent appointment in a research institute or center. Institutes should have both an internal governing board of institute members which meets at regular intervals throughout the year and an external advisory committee which meets on an annual basis. The external advisory committee should include members from outside the University who are experts in the subject of institute interest and who are invited to serve on the committee by the Dean of Medicine.
All research institutes are to be reviewed at regular intervals.
