2009 Elected Positions and Offices
Steven Wiley Invited to Join National Research Council Review Panel
Steven Wiley, Lead Scientist for Biology at the Department of Energy's EMSL, was selected to serve as a reviewer on the 2009 National Research Council Research Associateship Programs. The programs fund postdoctoral fellows, senior scientists and engineers, and faculty to work on research problems of their choice in federal laboratories. The Council receives around 800 applications every year for these programs. The NRC selects about 300 of these applications for funding based on a competitive process that includes a review by one of five NRC panels.
One of the five panels is the Life Sciences panel, where Wiley will serve. On this panel, he will evaluate the impact and the approach of the research proposed in the applications four times a year. Also, he will discuss his recommendations with his colleagues on the panel, working to promote only the best possible research. Wiley will serve on the panel for three years.
Wiley was chosen because of his scientific expertise in molecular and systems biology, such as the research into large-scale protein-protein interactions and cell signaling networks. In addition, he is an experienced leader, currently working as the steward for EMSL's Biological Interactions and Dynamics science theme and as Director of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Biomolecular Systems Initiative. Further, he has experience with advisory committees, including the National Institutes of Health and Burroughs Wellcome Fund. (announced 2/1/2009)
