Council/Board, Advisory
National Advisory Council or Board, mandated by statute, is an advisory committee providing the second level of review for grant applications for each Institute/Center awarding grants. The Councils/Boards are comprised of both scientific and lay representatives. Council/Board recommendations are based on scientific merit (as judged by the initial review groups) and the relevance of the proposed study to an institute's programs and priorities. With some exceptions, grants cannot be awarded without recommendations for approval by a Council/Board.

Quoted from the NIH OER Glossary & Acronym List.

The Advisory Council/Board for the National Cancer Institute is the National Cancer Advisory Board.
