Translational Advisory Group
The Translational Advisory Group (TAG) brings together a dynamic group of business and industry experts. The TAG will provide experienced external input that will help guide our translation and commercialisation strategy to the next level of performance.
Remit
- Engagement of early career researchers (ECRs) with translation and commercialisation objectives in order to drive culture change from the bottom up and embed translation skills at an early stage of ECRs career, supporting grass roots change and supporting future career development.
- Increase diversity of translation funds by advising on how the CMVM Translational and Commercialisation Board can improve its dialogue with translational funding bodies and industry in order to shape calls and build more translation ready projects to better capitalise on funding opportunities and maximise success across CMVMs areas of expertise.
