M-EID External Advisory Board
An External Advisory Board (EAB) of well-established individuals in EID and related areas has been assembled to provide perspective and guidance on the science and education components of the Montana - Ecology of Infectious Disease (M-EID) program. The EAB will meet annually at UM after the annual assessment is conducted and will be consulted as needed via e-mail or conference calls. An annual report based on their visit and Assessment Board recommendations will be presented to the Montana - Ecology of Infectious Disease (M-EID) steering committee. Members of the EAB also provide an invaluable network to other individuals and organizations with which the M-EID will interact, some of which also serve as internship sites for M-EID Trainees. Current members of the EAB, listed alphabetically are:
