Core Faculty and Review Board

Novo Nordisk Access to Insight is steered by Margareth Castro Ozelo and David Lillicrap, co-chairs of the Access to Insight Grants Core Faculty. The Core Faculty members are dedicated to identifying the most promising applicants and ensuring a fair selection process.

Novo Nordisk is the sponsor of Access to Insight, but has no impact on the selection of research/project topics and decision regarding winning applications. Novo Nordisk will have a representation in the Core Faculty of two members with no voting power in the funding decision. Novo Nordisk will provide comments for consideration and will serve as coordinator of the programme.

The research scope, the application and review process, and the composition of the Review Board were finalised with the Core Faculty. Together with a Review Board of independent haemostasis experts, the co-chairs will select the recipients only after all applications have undergone a detailed scientific peer review. Members of the Review Board are listed below.

After the successful involvement of Nigel Key and his guidance over many years, Access to Insight thanks Nigel for all his work and contribution.
