Proposal review tools
Global Good Maturity ModelThis model specifies common metrics for understanding how advanced a digital health tool is, so that we can compare global goods and prioritize the most promising global goods for investment.
Global Utility
Community Support
Software Maturity
Prioritization FrameworkThe Peer Review Committee and the Governing Board use this framework as a guide for prioritizing proposals for investment. The four dimensions of the framework are cost, probability of success, impact, and technology.
The Peer Review Committee (PRC) is a diverse set of digital health leaders that reviews all global goods investment proposals to make recommendations to the Governing Board.
