Individuals with expert technical knowledge and extensive experience in one of the following are sought:

• HIV/AIDS
• Tuberculosis
• Malaria
• Cross cutting issues (such as institutional and governance issues, macro-economics in a health sector context)

The current term of appointment is three rounds of proposals; however the Board is considering its extension to four rounds. Members will be paid an honorarium and their expenses. They must be available for the two week TRP meetings in Geneva every 8 to 12 months. The next meeting is in early May 2004. Fluency in English is required as this is the working language of the TRP.

A transparent criteria-based selection process will be followed which seeks to achieve a significant proportion of members from each of the WHO regions, representation from public and private sectors and civil society, including a qualified member from the Persons Living with AIDS community. A balanced gender representation is sought.
