CRESP III Management Board

CRESP III will be managed by a broad group of academic leaders who bring a diverse set of skills and strategic interests of relevance to the issues at hand.The management board is led by the Co-Principal investigators David S. Kosson and Charles W. Powers, Professors at the Vanderbilt University School of Engineering.

The functions of the Management Board will be to provide annual review of all CRESP review, strategic analysis, research and educational efforts, including discussion with all lead researchers and key personnel; evaluate and recommend the annual CRESP research portfolio to the CRESP co-PIs; evaluate and assist in the formulation of CRESP strategic assessment initiatives, and provide leadership or participate in, as appropriate, review and strategic analysis functions of CRESP. The board will also identify additional participants as needed for review and strategic analysis initiatives.
