National Advisory Committee
Members of the NRCDP National Advisory Committee (NAC) are carefully selected to represent a diverse group of successful scientists from different geographical locations, different educational backgrounds, different sub-specialties, different races and genders, and different degrees of seniority.
By design, most committee members are neurosurgeons; however, the committee also includes other scientists to ensure well-balanced reviews.
