Geneva – Unitaid is pleased to issue a call for applications of experts to replenish its Proposal Review Committee (PRC) for the period June 2022 – June 2025.
Unitaid designs and invests in innovative approaches to make quality health products available and affordable in low- and middle-income countries. It inspires and promotes collective efforts with partners, countries, and communities, unlocking access to the tools, services and care that can deliver the best results, improve health and address global health priorities. PRC is Unitaid’s independent, impartial team of experts, chaired by Mr. Andy Gray, who provide scientific, public health, health systems, programmatic, country implementation, market dynamics and health economics expertise to Unitaid in its advisory capacity. PRC works closely with the Unitaid Secretariat in the Joint Review Committee, reviews proposals submitted for funding and draft grant agreement documents according to established criteria.
Applications for PRC membership are welcome to fill both the Core Member and Disease/issue specific Member functions. For further detail on PRC Member functions, requirements, expertise, working procedures and the process of selection, please refer to the PRC Terms of Reference.
Process for proposal submission
Interested experts should send their CV and letter of motivation to proposalsunitaid@who.int by close of business CEST on Thursday 7 April 2022. Applications received past the indicated deadline will not be considered.
N.B. An application is considered submitted only once you receive an e-mail message of confirmation of receipt from Unitaid.
The letter of motivation should clearly state whether the applicant wishes to be considered for the Core Member and/or Disease/issue specific Member functions and should clearly indicate which area(s) of expertise outlined in the PRC Terms of Reference he/she could cover. PRC Members are senior experts, therefore any claim of area of expertise has to be supported with evidence of at least 10 years of expertise and/or references from organizations where expertise has previously been provided.
The work of the PRC is guided by strict conflict of interest rules, therefore Unitaid cannot engage experts that have current or recent (over the past 6 months) long term employment as a staff member or full time consultant (or part -time in the case of Core Members) with a Unitaid grantee on an active grant.
After assessment of the applications and endorsement by the Unitaid Board during its meeting in June 2022 all applicants will be officially notified as to whether their application has been successful.
