The role and responsibilities of the Research Advisory Committee includes providing advice to TMBF’s Board on issues such as forming relationships with research bodies and committees relevant to the goals of TMBF, undertaking assessments and recommendations of awards of any TMBF grants and scholarships, and making recommendations to the Board on TMBF research priorities. As part of its commitment to evidence-based practice, at least yearly The Moreton Bay Foundation hosts expert scientific forums comprising some Foundation members, scientists and other experts known for their academic reputation, specialisation in their discipline, and their research publications and impact. The Research Advisory Committee will also be responsible for planning those forums, and the Foundation’s Board will be guided by the deliberations and recommendations arising out of each forum, in relation to the Foundation’s activities in scientific research, evidence-based practice, and knowledge-into-actions.
