The project is overseen by a number of committees/panels, which were established in consultation with the financial sponsors of the project and the Ministers of Health in Ukraine and Russia. The current management structure reflects the ways in which the project has evolved and will move forward. From time to time subprojects may require expert input, which may be provided by a dedicated Group operating for a fixed time period. The responsibility for the project as a whole is taken by the Steering Committee (SC) and all Panels report to the SC, either directly or through the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).
