Research Advisory Council

The Research Advisory Council (RAC) is a select group of approximately 11 senior bench and physician scientists from academia or industry in each Shriners Children's specialty area/discipline. The RAC is responsible for overseeing the final review and scores of grant applications. The RAC also reviews progress reports of strategic large monetary grants awarded via an RFP mechanism. The RAC meets annually in August to finalize the review process.

Research Advisory Board

The Research Advisory Board is comprised of approximately 80 independent research bench and physician scientists. The Research Advisory Board reviews each grant or fellowship application for funding from researchers throughout the Shriners Children's healthcare system. The goal of this peer-review process is to identify, through an independent evaluation and scoring process, those research projects that are of the highest quality and merit funding based on the mission of Shriners Children's. Based upon these recommendations, the research programs department presents the results of the Research Advisory Board and Research Advisory Council reviews for approval to the Clinical and Basic Research Committee. Grant funding recommendations are then presented to the Shriners Children's Board of Directors and Board of Trustees for final approval.
