The NICDS is managed by a Scientific
Director, who is responsible for the overall leadership of the Institute,
a Board of Directors and a Scientific Advisory Committee.
The NICDS Board of Directors is comprised
of the Scientific Director, representation from Canada's mathematical
sciences institutes and the Statistical
Society of Canada (SSC). As the NICDS has evolved its Board has
expanded in strategic directions. In the fall of 2003 the Director
of SAMSI, Jim Berger, joined
the Board and in fall of 2005 the Scientific Co-Director of EURANDOM,
Henry Wynn, also joined the Board. Professor Wynn also represents
the interest of (sfi)2.
The Board meets three times a year. Its duties include the approval
of expenditures, the annual budget and all SAC recommendations. It
oversees various institute activities including the vetting of proposals,
management of projects and resolution of conflicts of interest. The
Board also acts in an advisory capacity concerning the institute's
activities, funding opportunities, renewal of the institute's resources
and further partnering opportunities. It also identifies subject areas
that are of acute scientific and strategic imperative to the establishment
of new emerging teams, and identifies potential project leaders. The
Board encourages international collaborations particularly through
EURANDOM, (sfi)2 and SAMSI.
