Serve on an Advisory Committee

PFIC Network Advisory Committees

The PFIC Network is a community-led and community driven organization. All of our programs and initiatives are born out of the minds and hearts of passionate PFIC patients, families, and caregivers. Pave the way towards a cure with us by participating on one of our PFIC Network advisory committees!

International PFIC Research & Registry Review Committee (IRRRC) 

Excited to participate in the direct facilitation of PFIC research? Join the IRRRC!

PFIC Network’s International PFIC Research & Registry Review Committee  consists of patient-community members from around the world who are tasked with reviewing scientific collaboration requests and research proposals involving the PFIC Network Patient Registry

IRRRC members are also responsible for:

  • Designing and defining the patient registry to produce meaningful data that truly represents the PFIC community’s needs, and 
  • Reviewing proposals in response to our own Funding Opportunities (research grants). 

If you join the IRRRC, you will receive training from PFIC Network on how to evaluate research and registry proposals impartially according to predetermined criteria. This training will help you learn how to weigh the benefits and burdens for the PFIC community in an unbiased manner.

If you are a PFIC patient or caregiver and would like to participate in the IRRRC, please contact us!
