Governance
INSTAARs keep the institute on track through the leadership of its directors, the advice of a ~40 person governing body, and the participation of many baby直播app, staff, and students in working committees.
Our policies and procedures are outlined in our Bylaws and Standing Rules .

Directorate
INSTAAR鈥檚 governing body is the Directorate, composed of about 40 people. Voting members, called Faculty Fellows, include tenured and tenure-track baby直播app who are co-rostered in academic departments, research baby直播app, and INSTAAR-based federal research scientists. Non-voting members include key administrative staff (Operations Manager, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Information Officer) and a representative each of professional research assistants, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students.
INSTAAR committees
Committees conduct INSTAAR business in selected areas, such as forwarding equity, planning seminars, and evaluating baby直播app performance. Committees can include students, baby直播app, and staff and are chaired by baby直播app members.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee serves to provide input to the Director on matters pertaining to the Institute. We are also a conduit for INSTAAR community members to bring matters to the attention of INSTAAR leadership.
