Scientific Advisory Board

All PBTF research grants are peer-reviewed and must demonstrate standards of scientific merit. Our goal is to provide the best research possible and make that research available to help children throughout the world. We rely on the expertise of our distinguished Scientific Advisory Board to help us evaluate the best funding opportunities.
