Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) was created in 2002 to provide ongoing, high-level scientific advice to IPM. IPM’s scientific agenda is based on a set of decision-making criteria approved by the SAB in 2003. Due to its size, the full SAB does not meet regularly. IPM staff consults as needed with individual SAB members who have expertise in particular areas of microbicide research and/or drug development. IPM provides SAB members with updates on its work, including a comprehensive annual report on its science program.
