Embedding ISAG recommendations to ensure project success
The ISAG is set to play an important role in the success of PROMISE by informing the approach and strategies of the project. The different workstreams will regularly consult ISAG members, to ensure that the key gaps and requirements in relation to the different tasks of the project are considered. In addition, by following the guidance and advise from the ISAG experts, the PROMISE teams will guarantee that the results developed while the project course are well accepted and supported by all key stakeholders: patients, health authorities, researchers, clinicians and industry.
PROMISE partners will receive ISAG’s views and input, upholding and optimising the level of scientific excellence and stimulating dissemination of the project results. This will be carried out via annual meetings, attendance to specific workshops or the invitation to participate in specific project activities. Advisors will also be invited to participate in the independent review of deliverables.
