Selection Criteria for the SAB and the
SAB Standing Committees includes:
— Demonstrated scientific credentials
and disciplinary expertise in relevant
fields;
— Willingness to commit time to the
committee and demonstrated ability
to work constructively and effectively
on committees;
— Background and experiences that
would help members contribute to the
diversity of perspectives on the
committee, e.g., geographical, social,
cultural, educational backgrounds,
professional affiliations; and other
considerations; and
— For the committee as a whole, the
collective breadth and depth of
scientific expertise is considered.
As the SAB and its standing
committees and ad-hoc panels
undertake specific advisory activities,
the SAB Staff Office will consider two
additional criteria for each new activity:
Absence of financial conflicts of interest
and absence of an appearance of a loss
of impartiality.
