HRWeb Governance

HRWeb's Expert Advisory Panel members

In July, we started to establish an Expert Advisory Board – which may well become a 'supervisory' board in the future. From 31 July, Yunkap Kwankam has agreed to chair this Board, recruit new members, help build its capacity and independence, clarify its role vis à vis COHRED.

The key functions of the Board at this early stage are to:

1. develop the editorial policies and guidelines for HRWeb,
2. act as a think tank for HRWeb development, and
3. provide opinion on disputes concerning information on, and use of, HRWeb.

In addition, it will help us think through how to develop this Board – or other mechanisms – for further quality control, independence and optimisation of HRWeb.

If you have any suggestions, please contact us on EAB@HealthResearchWeb.org or start a discussion on this page.
