The IDRE board is the faculty voice for computational research at UCLA. It is composed of UCLA faculty representatives who are invited to serve two-year terms. The board meets quarterly to receive updates about matters relevant to IDRE, and to generate feedback for campus leadership on initiatives related to digitally-intensive research at UCLA. IDRE seeks board participation from across UCLA in pursuit of its commitment to interdisciplinary research.
