The IMPT network is composed of experts working in reproductive health, STI and HIV prevention, product development or another related field. Members of the Network of Experts have no set time commitment to the IMPT and are only asked to participate on an ad hoc/as needed basis. Members are connected virtually through a listserv and bi-annual webinar convenings and contribute to the larger IMPT vision in concrete ways. Specifically, network members may contribute to larger network activities through the following:
- Expertise, through:
- Reviewing of and collaboration on manuscripts and other technical materials
- Participation in IMPT-organized convenings and events
- Participation in IMPT sub-groups
- Advising on IMPT project planning and workplan development
- Serving as key informants for field-wide/IMPT strategic planning
- Information sharing, including:
- MPT-relevant materials and project updates
- Data for investment tracking, pipeline database, and tracking efforts
