Scientific Advisory Committee
The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) comprises scientists with expertise in various disciplines within infectious diseases and microbiology including drug discovery and development, medicinal chemistry, antimicrobial resistance, paediatrics and neonatology, and public health. The SAC has a consultative function: its members advise GARDP’s Board of Directors in order to carry out GARDP’s scientific objectives, assess GARDP’s scientific strategy and projects, and provide guidance and medical and scientific expertise to GARDP’s programmes.
The SAC operates independently of the Board of Directors and GARDP’s Management Team. The Board of Directors approves the selection of members.

Donor Partnership Advisory Committee
The Donor Partnership Advisory Committee ensures key funding partners are represented as stakeholders and partners in GARDP, allowing them to bring their insights to the Board. Importantly, it provides advice and funder perspectives that assist the Board in fulfilling its mission, by reviewing the success of previous and ongoing donor investments made into GARDP and providing advice to the Board on how further funding can deliver the highest possible impact. It also provides advice to the Board on how GARDP can widen and better manage its partnerships with member states and other important global health funders. The Chairperson of the Committee represents the Committee at the Board meetings and ensures that key decisions of the Board are brought back to the full Committee.
