D2R Governance Framework

Board of Directors and Executive Committee

The mandate of the Board includes contributions to the oversight of the appropriate governance, management and personnel structures, policies, procedures, and strategies, including those related to the Risk and Mitigation Plan (RMP), to the Performance Measurement Plan (PMP), to management of conflict of interest (COI), and to criteria for funding eligibility and performance-based evaluations. The Board also contributes to the evaluation of the Resource allocation processes used to meet the ambitious objectives, and to monitoring access to designated groups according to the D2R plan for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Indigenous Reconciliation (EDI-IR). The Board reviews D2R expenditures in relation to the alignment with the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, and to the institutional and scientific priorities and plans set out in the approved proposal as implemented taking into account the need to respond to the rapidly evolving scientific and translational landscapes.

Research Steering Committee and Executive (RSC)

The RSC oversees and directs the scientific strategy of the D2R Initiative and its evolution in the face of rapid scientific and technological advances. The overarching mission and mandate of the RSC is to help deliver the initiative鈥檚 ambitious goals at a competitive pace and within the stated timelines. Supported by experts at McGill and at partner institutions, and by the D2R External Scientific Advisory Board (ESAB), the RSC mandate is to identify research areas of strategic priority, and in which the D2R Initiative stands to make a unique and original contribution (defining the D2R advantage). To achieve its mandate, the RSC engages in interactions with core researchers at McGill and at partner institutions and takes a proactive role in identifying and pursuing key technologies and research opportunities locally, nationally, and internationally. To help and assist in its broad mandate, the RSC may create punctual working groups consisting of experts who will make recommendations on the scientific direction of the Initiative. Furthermore, the RSC is responsible for coordinating engagement of the approved D2R research funding programs. It oversees scientific evaluation and resource allocation of the Initiative. It integrates existing and seeks new large-scale strategic research partnerships and collaborations. It establishes and evaluates the program's global position to assure that it is internationally competitive. The RSC works in close liaison with the Innovation and Partnerships Office of the Vice-Principal Research and Innovation in the commercialization of D2R research. The RSC organizes the meetings and closely interacts with the ESAB and the RSC sub-committees and receives their reports and recommendations for approval.

External Scientific Advisory Board (ESAB)

The D2R External Scientific Advisory Board (ESAB) provides independent and objective scientific advice to the Research Steering Committee (RSC) and the scientific directors of D2R. The ESAB offers guidance on strategic directions related mission and goals of D2R by addressing scientific excellence and translational impacts, and it evaluates progress towards meeting the initiative goals. It contributes to the mandate of the RSC by identifying and commenting on key technologies, research opportunities and partnerships that will forward the initiative, and it evaluates resource allocation considering ambitious goals. It provides evaluations based on international comparisons that will help strengthen the Initiative and allow the RSC to adjust it to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving scientific environment. ESAB meetings are organized by the D2R Scientific Director, who receives its reports and recommendations, with the aid of the D2R administrative office.

List of members forthcoming

External Indigenous Advisory Council (EIAC)

The External Indigenous Advisory Council (EIAC) provides advice to the Research Steering Committee (RSC) and the Partner and Community Engagement Committee (PCE) as well as the scientific leadership and D2R staff on the Indigenous health programs (engagement, training, research) and all interfaces with Indigenous partner organizations and communities.

The EIAC also informs and advises the RSC, scientific directors, the Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) and D2R staff of evolving priorities of Indigenous health, and benchmarks activities to national and international standards.

List of members forthcoming.

Investment and Commercialization Committee (ICC)

The ICC oversees all aspects of the D2R Initiative that relate to commercialization, innovation in the commercial space, entrepreneurship, and investment. The ICC facilitates engagement with industry, venture capitalists, funders, government agencies and programs (valorisation societies) and other stakeholders to enhance commercialization of D2R discoveries, technology transfer to and from industry, creation and support of novel commercial entities including spinoffs and joint ventures, and all other aspects of translation of knowledge into commercial products. The ICC provides oversight for the distribution of D2R financial resources to achieve these goals and objectives. To achieve its mandate, the ICC works with, and facilitates interactions between, the leadership of the D2R staff and the Innovation and Partnerships (I+P) Office of the Vice-President (Research and Innovation). ICC meetings are organized by the Research Steering Committee (RSC) of D2R, which receives its reports and recommendations.

Partner and Community Engagement Committee (PCE)

Established under the authority of the D2R Research Steering Committee (RSC), the PCE Committee oversees D2R policies and processes to ensure that Indigeneity, equity, diversity, and inclusion are central to D2R decision-making. The PCE Committee provides guidance to the RSC, D2R staff and leadership on the development, implementation, and ongoing improvement of D2R鈥檚 EDI Action Plan. The aims of the Action Plan are to support the improved consideration of EDI across D2R鈥檚 funding programs, policies, processes, and funded research as well as in the greater McGill community and promote an inclusive and accessible environment for all, with a particular focus on the six McGill designated groups (Women, Persons with Disabilities, Indigenous Peoples, Visible Minorities, Ethnic Minorities and Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Minorities). The PCE Committee also provides guidance on partner engagement, recommending an action plan to ensure that decision-making is inclusive of end-user community and partner perspectives as well as targeted training on inclusive research and data practices (e.g., Sex & Gender-based Analysis+ (SGBA+) analytics, participant privacy, CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance).
