Our Compliance Committee
We have instituted a five-member Compliance Committee to review company policies and to make changes as necessary to maintain compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Compliance Committee is comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds and roles within FYR. The Compliance Committee actively monitors compliance infractions. Please contact us to report any potential problems, or concerns, or to send questions to our compliance committee. The Compliance Committee reports directly to the FYR Board of Directors.
Please note, Grant Principal Investigators / Project Directors (PI/PDs) of FYR Diagnostics are not a part of the Compliance Committee. In the event a Compliance Committee member becomes a PI/PD on a grant, that individual will be removed from the Compliance Committee and replaced with another FYR team member.
