College of Experts

Purpose 

The College of Experts was created to widen the range of available and committed expertise on our Research Funding Panels and Expert Committees. The College has a broad membership, including people with lived experience, researchers (across discovery, translational, clinical and health research), as well as experts from a commercial, policy, health and social care, commissioning, or health service management background.
