Advisory Board

In April 2001 an Advisory Board was set up to oversee the direction of the Cochrane Renal Group.

The members are:

Advisory Board: Terms of reference

The terms of reference are:

Strategic planning

The Board will undertake policy development for the Group and where necessary set priorities. It will define the scope and boundaries of the work of the Group and will consider the points at which its work overlaps or interfaces with the work of others.

Recruitment strategies

The Board will identify ways and means of recruiting and retaining members, reviewers and end users. It will oversee the provision of appropriate and effective training for these individuals.

Resource planning

The Board will consider the annual budget of the Group and it will keep the business plan under regular review. It will advise on relationships with the Group's financial supporters - government, non-government organisations and industry.

Oversight

The Board will provide ongoing oversight of editorial roles and responsibilities and other Group activities.

Promotion and dissemination

The Board will consider ways and means of promoting the work of the Group and disseminating its outputs to end-users.

Advocacy

Board members will report back to stakeholder organisations and communities on the activities of the Group. Board members will act as advocates of the interest of the organisations they represent as the work of the Group continues and may also act as advocates for the Group when they report back to stakeholder organisations and communities.
