The PQRI Organizational Chart is a graphical representation of PQRI’s hierarchical structure. The chart displays each Technical Committee and its corresponding Working Groups. Information about committee leadership is also highlighted.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has authority over the collection and disbursement of funds and the administrative procedures required to ensure the effective operation of the Institute.

Steering Committee

The PQRI Steering Committee has sole authority over all scientific activities undertaken in conjunction with the Institute and is responsible for recommending all Institute funds spent in conjunction with scientific activities, specifically all research done under the auspices of the Institute.

Technical Committees

PQRI consists of three Technical Committees that provide technical and scientific guidance, direction and review for PQRI Working Groups. The Technical Committees consist of scientists and regulatory experts from industry and regulatory agencies, and make technical/scientific recommendations to the Steering Committee.

Working Groups

PQRI currently has several very active Working Groups operating under the guidance of each Technical Committee. These Working Groups consist of scientists from industry, academia and FDA, who generate, evaluate, and discuss information or data, and develop PQRI recommendations, technical reports, and scientific papers.
