The Executive Committee coordinates research funding strategies to address identified research priorities such as those identified by the Scientific Committee.
Members of this Committee should promote support for STAR-IDAZ IRC objectives from the livestock and animal health industries and services and the wider donor community.
The Executive Committee meets twice a year.
