The VR Foundation’s Board of Directors comprises well-respected individuals who govern the foundation, establish policy, set priorities, and make final grant decisions. All members are unpaid volunteers serving staggered five-year terms, for a maximum of 10 years. The foundation’s appointment process ensures that the Board represents a diverse range of views and knowledge. From the very beginning, VRF has been committed to maintaining a small but highly qualified professional staff, supplemented with established business leaders and scientists. This combination allows VRF to accomplish its objectives while minimizing operating expenses in order to maximize research funding. The Scientific Advisory Board identifies priorities for advancing the development of treatments for vitiligo, reviews grant research applications and shapes the Foundation’s research roadmap. |
