Application Deadline: Thursday, April 14, 2022
 
The Hepatitis B Foundation and Hepatitis Delta Connect are pleased to announce a new initiative to integrate community perspectives and experiences into hepatitis D (HDV) drug development and clinical research to ensure that the voices of those living with HDV are represented and centered in decision-making by industry, governments, and nonprofits. The first step in this endeavor is the creation of an HDV Global Community Advisory Board (HDV-CAB), which will consist of 8-12 individuals who are living with or affected by HDV (including family members and caregivers).

We encourage you to review the HDV-CAB Charter before starting your application. 
 
We are also currently recruiting members for a separate CAB focused on Hepatitis B. If you are interested in the HBV CAB, please use this application form instead.

Note: The official language of the HDV-CAB is English. Since members are expected to contribute to the HDV-CAB and participate in discussions, fluency in English is essential for membership.

Please email info@hepb.org with any questions.
