  1. During the call for proposals and selection process, coordinate meetings on and drafting of the full project proposal.
  2. Work with the EDCTP Association and other beneficiaries on the drafting and negotiation of the consortium agreement and other legal agreements among the beneficiaries.
  3. Act as the key contact point for the Global Health EDCTP3 JU regarding all scientific action governance issues, steer and provide oversight in the development of the scientific actions, without prejudice to the tasks entrusted directly to the EDCTP Association as per the Model Grant Agreement.
  4. If the consortium is successful in its grant application, support and collaborate with the EDCTP Association on its monitoring activities and the adoption of appropriate internal measures, to ensure that beneficiaries are fulfilling their obligations regarding budget, timeline, deliverables, and scientific quality.
  5. Review the action’s deliverables and reports before their submission by the EDCTP Association.
  6. Lead the work packages(s) related to the tasks of scientific project leadership.
