The work is complex, sensitive, and variable. The services of the Chair call for a profound knowledge of the current practices in human subjects research and be knowledgeable of the unique operating environment, blend of science and industry, and client-focus of NRC research programs and services. While work on site at NRC, aside from board meetings, will be limited, the Chair will be called upon to respond to ad hoc requests for guidance and advice in a timely manner.
