Boards
The CBC is supported by a number of academic leaders from Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago. In addition to Chicago area leadership, our board membership includes a group of interdisciplinary advisors outside of the CBC's member institutions. The CBC boards meet regularly to discuss CBC initiatives, grants and strategies.
