About the Independent Panel
Each P2P workshop has an independent panel that provides a balanced, objective, and informed assessment of the workshop topic. The panel is an unbiased group with diverse perspectives. Panel members attend the workshop, where they listen to and ask questions about presentations from expert speakers. Then the panelists write a report that summarizes the workshop and highlights research gaps and future priorities. The recommendations in the panel’s report are for use by the broader research community. Panel reports are not policy statements of the NIH or the federal government.
