The Project Management Committee (PMC) serves as the board of directors for the IR-4 Project and is made up of regional directors and administrative advisors (AA) from each of IR-4’s regions and USDA-ARS, as well as leadership from the IR-4 Commodity Liaison Committee and representatives from USDA-NIFA. The PMC meets three times a year to develop policies and procedures, set operational budgets within funding limitation, review the status of ongoing programs, and ensure the program’s overall goals are being met.
