The members of PROTECT’s two advisory committees come from a diverse group of research and experiences. The committees bring in informed outside perspectives as a way to help PROTECT investigators guide their research questions and focuses, methods, and tools. The advisory committees play an integral role in PROTECT as a continually evolving and growing project.
