NanoMaterials Commercialization Center

Technical Advisory Committee

The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is an important part of the Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center. The TAC is the peer review committee, which reviews all proposals submitted to the center and makes recommendations to the Center's governing board for funding. The TAC also frequently re-evaluates the criteria used in the proposal judging process, ensuring that proposals are evaluated in a method which matches the Center's requirements for innovative research and commercial application.
