Project: A project is established for each unique dataset that is housed by NACHC. When NACHC is performing many distinct analytic services on a given dataset, multiple projects may be established. Each project has a Confluence website which defines the project team, provides links to relevant project documentation and agreements, location of project data, and tracks project progress. Projects have regular status meetings. Minutes and meeting materials from status meetings are made available on Confluence.

Governance Committee
NACHC's use of data housed within the NACHC infrastructure is governed by a governance committee. These data include data received from data partners and data accessed by NACHC staff. The governance committee includes between 8 and 10 members who represent NACHC leadership, analytic staff, data partners, and project partners who represent a broad range of perspectives and collective expertise in clinical care, informatics, data science, and population health. The chairperson of the governance committee is Julia Skapic and the vice chairperson is Andrea Price? Ron Yee?
Details of the governance committee membership and operations (e.g., scope, voting) are defined in a committee charter (need to link this).
