PEOPLE

Overview

Grand Challenges African Drug Discovery Accelerator (GC ADDA) is a network of drug discovery researchers. There are different types of membership, namely Full Members, Associate Members, Affiliate Members, Affiliate Institution Members, and Emerging Researcher Members. The H3D Foundation conducts the administrative activities for the network and an Operational Leadership Team (OLT) oversees its smooth running. EXCOM represents the voice of the seed funders. An international Advisory Board nurtures links to industry, academia, funding and policy making / government.

Full Members

A Full Member is a research leader, based in Africa, with a research team who can provide skills, expertise, and facilities towards drug discovery.

Associate Members

An Associate Member meets most but not all of the requirements of full membership but is deemed to be on a career trajectory to do so.

Affiliate Members

An Affiliate Member is equally committed to nurturing the African drug discovery ecosystem but may be based on a different continent and/or retired from active research. They may also be academic partners or part of funding bodies.

Affiliate Institution Members

An Affiliate Institution is an institution that has a supportive and collaborative relationship with the GC ADDA network but is not a funder. It is represented by 1-2 staff members who represent the institution as GC ADDA Affiliate Institution Members.

Affiliate Institution Members are soon to be signed on - watch this space!
