As part of this process, we have set up an independent Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP). The membership of the SAP includes experts in clinical and research aspects of MSA, and people whose lives have been affected by MSA.
The SAP members meet for the following tasks:
- Review research grant applications. This is done with the aid of peer review by national and international experts in MSA, who comment on the relative merits of our grant applications. The SAP is then able to make a final decision based on the peer review scores and further discussion of the grant applications.
- Advise on key topics related to research relevant to people with MSA.
The members are guided by the SAP Code of Conduct & Conflicts of Interest Policy
