Scientific Programs Evaluation Committee
The Scientific Programs Evaluation Committee (SPEC) evaluates
the quality of NCAR and other UCAR programs and, at the invitation
of the NSF, may participate as observers in the NSF reviews of
UCAR and NCAR management and programs, most often through subcommittees
or panels as appropriate
Under the Bylaws, a SPEC must be appointed no less frequently
than once every five years and may not be appointed any more often
than once every three.

President's Advisory Committee on Univerisity Relations (PACUR)
The PACUR (formlery URC) helps maintain good communication
and relationships between the Corporation and the members. The
PACUR acts as an advisory body to the President, reviewing strategic
UCAR plans and documents and proposing agenda items for annual
members’ meetings and activities and programs for UCAR
to undertake. The PACUR also reviews NCAR’s non-core funding
and considers any charges of unfair competition by UCAR from
the university community.
The bylaws specify a committee of at least nine individuals,
with a chair appointed by the President. The term is for three
years; committee members do not need to be a Members Representative.
