Scientific Advisory Board (SAB)


The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of NFDI4Microbiota comprises scientific experts and representatives of the professional societies (and as such representatives of the user community) from the fields of microbiology and bioinformatics. The SAB members are involved in research data infrastructures and international initiatives with direct relevance to NFDI4Microbiota. The SAB provides strategic input and advise the consortium on

  1. the research data management strategy,
  2. proposals and plans, and
  3. the needs of the research community.
This body highlights critical issues and emerging global trends. The SAB thus support the further development of NFDI4Microbiota. SAB members communicate/meet at least annually and suggest strategic planning ideas to the BoD.

Project Review Board

The Project Review Board (PRB) is responsible for selecting new projects within the scope of the flexible funding and allocation mechanism, thus reacting to new and unforeseen scenarios. It consists of renowned scientists in changing compositions, based on the topics required for review. Staffing suggestions are made by the SAB and members with potential conflicts of interest are excluded. The PRB

  1. is convened as needed to review proposals for innovation and implementation projects, &
  2. provides an unbiased review of innovation and implementation projects.
