The Research Advisory Council (RAC) is the primary forum for exchange, discussion, and updates on University-wide research related dossiers between the Office of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation (R+I), the hospital Research Institutes, and the Faculties. Chaired by the Vice-President, R+I, members of RAC exchange on strategic items such as planning for research infrastructure and space, major governmental programs for research funding, and other related topics.
RAC makes recommendations to the Academic Policy Committee (APC) on research policies and the creation of new research centres as well as endorsements of research-related plans and reports to submit for approval through standard McGill governance channels. RAC members are encouraged and welcome to suggest any top of mind issues for discussion at meetings.
Guests may be invited to meetings at the discretion of the Chair.
