ABSTRACT The Global Fund is seeking applications from experts willing to join the TRP.

The Global Fund is seeking applications from experts willing to join the Technical Review Panel (TRP) Support Pool. It is from the support pool, which usually consists of about 80 persons, that the Global Fund periodically selects people to fill vacancies on the TRP.

The TRP, which has about 40 members, reviews proposals submitted to the Global Fund and makes funding recommendations to the Board. TRP members can serve for up to four rounds of reviews. TRP members need to have sound technical knowledge and extensive programme experience in HIV/AIDS, TB or malaria, and also need to understand broader health systems and development cross-cutting issues.

The agency handling this recruitment is HLSP. More information, including selection criteria and application forms, is available at www.hlsp.org/opportunities/globalfundTRP. The deadline for applications is 31 May 2010.
