How INHS Works
The Illinois Natural History Survey is a Division of the Institute of Natural Resource Sustainability at the University of Illinois. Our organization's adminstrative services are divided into three "Directorates": Administration, Facilities, and Sponsored Research Programs. Our scientific staff are led by a Senior Management Team (SMT), comprised of faculty-level scientists that lead major research teams in a variety of disciplines. Twelve committees, comprised of INHS staff, work to formulate plans and recommendations to the Director in each Committee's area of expertise.
