Technical Review Panel

The Technical Review Panel is an independent panel of international experts in health and development who review eligible grant proposals for technical merit (soundness of approach, feasibility and potential for sustainability) and assess proposed interventions to ensure they reflect current knowledge of international best practice. Based on this review the panel makes funding recommendations to the Global Fund Board.

Specific role of the Technical Review Panel in performance-based funding

• During proposal development the Technical Review Panel reviews the program objectives, indicators, baselines, and targets included in country proposals, and recommends them for funding to the Board.
• For grant renewals, the Technical Review Panel reviews only those requests for continued funding which would entail a material reprogramming of the original proposal. In such cases, the panel’s services are required to ensure the technical merit and appropriateness of proposed changes.
