HESI's scientific programs are conducted by multi-sector committees that organize, support, and execute collaborative laboratory research programs, workshops, conferences, literature reviews, the development and analysis of databases, etc. These committees have substantial participation from academic and government scientists, and disseminate the products of their activities through peer-reviewed journals, monographs, and other print- and web-based publications.
All HESI publications are submitted to an internal Editorial Review Board, directed by academic members of the HESI Board of Trustees PSSC. An Emerging Issues process identifies and addresses new science focus areas, which are supported by HESI as Emerging Issues "Subcommittees." "Project Committees" are focused on relatively specific tasks and are formed when subcommittees mature and become self-sufficient, or are created under the guidance of HESI's Board of Trustees through special request from the membership. The formation of "Technical Committees" for longer-term and broader or more comprehensive focus is also through approval of the Board of Trustees.
In 2007, eight technical committees, six project committees, and three subcommittees are conducting HESI's scientific programs.
