The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) was established in 2011 to serve as a resource to assist in the identification, funding, and development of scientific research projects. The formation of this new advisory board demonstrates the Foundation’s commitment to investing in high-quality scientific research. The SAB consist of leading scientists and medical doctors with extensive research experience.
