The Partnership Board (PB) is a scientifically independent panel of experts as full members with voting rights. Four experts are from developing countries and four from Europe. The EEIG-Assembly appoints these eight members, and they propose additional co-opted members.
The PB designs the strategic framework of the EDCTP and advises the Assembly on technical and scientific matters relating to the EDCTP programme. The PB prepares proposals and recommendations to be submitted via the Secretariat to the Assembly, specifically with regard to:
- Strategic needs and priorities for new clinical interventions, training and capacity building
- Calls for project proposals and other procedures for implementing plans of action
- Criteria and procedures for peer reviews
- Annual action plans, including the calls foreseen for the year
- Results of evaluation sessions and priority lists of projects.
