As the NFGC consortium has grown, the leadership recognized the need to develop a committee to provide advice on the scientific direction of the program; therefore, a Scientific Advisory Committee has been established and is composed of all the members of the External Advisory Board, plus one representative from each funded affiliate. The current members are:
