SCN is overseen by a Board of Directors, who provide oversight for strategic planning, annual budgets, performance management, and risk mitigation.

SCN’s Research Management Committee (RMC) provides strategic research support to the Stem Cell Network in the implementation of its research programs through strategic and continual reviews of applications and funded projects. Importantly, the RMC provides SCN’s Board of Directors with recommendations on what projects are the most meritorious and should be funded by SCN.
