The development and delivery of the Co-Lead programme’s activities are based on an explicit governance and project management framework comprising of:
- Programme oversight
- Goal setting
- Agreeing programme objectives
- Completing critical tasks
- Delivering outputs within agreed timeframes
The programme’s grant, including grant registration and financial reporting, is managed by UCD Research. The Principal Investigator, Prof Eilish McAuliffe, has overall responsibility for the research programme and grant.
Two management and strategic oversight groups have been established for the lifetime of the programme – a Programme Advisory Group and Programme Management Team - to ensure adherence to the agreed work programme, reporting requirements, risk mitigation, and financial management of the programme.
Programme oversight, including ongoing monitoring and advising, is the responsibility of the Programme Advisory Group. The group is chaired by the Principal Investigator and includes representatives from the partner organisations, international senior academic advisors and key stakeholders, including patient representatives, health professionals and academics.
