Executive Committee
Purpose
The Executive Committee ensures that the various committees’ activities are aligned with the strategic goals of the organization. The committee approves demonstrations, approves committee co-chair appointments and can charter new committees.
Membership consists of the elected FDP Administrative Co-Chair, the elected FDP Faculty Co-Chair, a senior federal official identified by the Federal Agency Members, a representative from the National Academies Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (non-voting), a senior federal science official (appointed by the Office of Science and Technology Policy), the FDP Executive Director (non-voting), and the Co-Chairs of each of the Operational and Programmatic Committees. The OSTP appointed senior federal official serves to provide a strong link to the National Science and Technology Council, Committee on Science and other relevant federal research entities with the FDP. The Co-Chairs can appoint additional members, with approval of the Executive Committee.
