About Our Technical Advisory Group 
The TASC Technical Advisory Group or TAG is composed of individuals with expertise in the scientific disciplines needed to address injury as a public health problem. In addition to representatives from Australia, the U.S., and from WHO, the TAG includes leading professionals from the TASC project countries, insuring input on program content from those closest to the problems in the field.
TASC supplements the review of the TAG with in-country institutional reviews of all projects and with additional consultation from UNICEF and other partners. The TASC Technical Advisory Group (TAG) is composed of individuals who are well known experts in the fields of epidemiology, injury prevention program design and technology and development, communications, behavioral modification, program evaluation, health economics, and emergency response and care.
The group meets on average about once a year. Collectively they provide advice and guidance to TASC on project activities and on our global advocacy efforts. Individual TAG members review specific issues, such as study protocols or work plans, on an as needed ad hoc basis.
