Recruited from across the global malaria and broader research community, SAC members play a unique role within WWARN. At least two SAC members have significant technical expertise in the discipline area of each module. The SAC meets at least once per year to provide guidance on WWARN’s scientific strategic plan and the operation of each scientific module.
