IHO Research Council and Executive Board
A Model for Public/Private Partnership
The Institute of Human Origins is a model for a strong public/private partnership between ASU and the IHO Research Council. That partnership is key to our success and a critical aspect of our long-term vision.
The IHO Research Council comprises individuals from business, education, and scientific communities who provide strategic guidance and financial support for operations, research, and outreach and, through its broad network, provides an outlet for IHO’s diverse public programs.
The Research Council is led by an Executive Board, which plays a vital role in strategic planning, development, and financial oversight.
