The Steering Committee will approve applications for additional Affiliated Scholars who are involved in research that furthers the mission of the Nutrition Center and who wish to be designated as Center for Research in Nutrition and Health Disparities Affiliated Scholars.
Affiliated Scholars can nominate others for this designation, including those outside the University of South Carolina, with some rationale for how the nominated researcher supports the mission of the Center. The Steering group will vote on these nominees at their twice a year meetings in late Spring or Winter.
