All active researcher groups within the hospital should be represented on the Research Advisory Committee. This is to ensure that their views of research relevant to their area are discussed fairly, as well as to facilitate the governance of research on the campus, a responsibility that should be shared by all researchers. The membership should have expertise in broader issues involving research projects, such as cultural or racial diversity or health literacy, for example.
