Who is running GAIN? What is the role of the lead funder?
GAIN is operated by the FNIH, working cooperatively with an Executive Committee and a Steering Committee that provides ongoing guidance and oversight of GAIN processes. The lead funder has one representative on the Executive Committee and the Steering Committee. Representation by the lead funder and other private sector partners may also be included in other study committees, such as the Technical Advisory Group, the Analysis Methodology Group and the Genotyping Group as needed. This balanced approach to governance ensures that GAIN will remain squarely committed to the public interest, and that no one entity involved in GAIN will have undue influence over its operation.
